That is a wonderful photo, not only because it evokes a rather wonderful desolate feeling, but that it is an age-old sight. When flax is left to rot on the ground, it stinks to high heaven. Flax farmers allow the fleshy parts to rot and then collect what's left, the fibrous parts of the stems. These fibres are processed, softened, and made, eventually, into linen. Linen is one of the older fabrics in use for clothing, book binding and much more. Nice photo! But where is the location? Did you see the flax field in flower? Azure blue fields - very photogenic against blue skies and adjacent to a yellow field of flowering Rape (call it Canola if you need a euphamism).
