Photographer's Note
In the Norwegian countryside it is quite rare to see a cluster of farms like this, as the farms normally appear with some distance between them. What made this place an exception I don't know, but here we find 5-6 farms within 200 m.
If you look closely you may see the cows - cattle like cow and sheep is the main source of income for farmers in this altitude. The crop is therefore mainly grass that is used to feed the animals over winter.
---------------------------------
Last week's QUIZ was surprisingly difficult as only one of you came up with the (in my opinion) correct answer! Most of you claim to see four (4) sheep, while I see three (3) sheep... and some legs, that may well belong to a goat for all you know! Maybe there will be another quiz later...

Hello Pablo,
I like your POV. Nice shot with a good polarization effect. However, it seems that you saturate the colors in post processing.

Hello Pablo
You, people in Norway, invented quite efficient machines to make clouds...The most spectacular I ever saw in your gallery!!
And they take most of the spotlight as they crown so beautifully the green hill dotted of Norwaygian reds!
Cheers.

Hi Pablo,
The point of view is sending my eyes toward the trees in the background which is giving depth to the composition. The quality of the light is embellishing the colors of the scenery. Have a nice day.

Hello Pablo,
you were in the right place at the right moment!
This cluster of farms is quite photogenic situated in the mid of the hills and surrounded by green fields and woods but it's the impressive sky which gives a strong visive impact to the photo. Impossible not to stop and look at it! (:-)
Really well captured and well composed.

Hello Pablo ,
I like clouds , and these ones are wonderful ; May be there is the effect of the filter , but i've yet seen clouds like this , even it is quite rare .
But this is not the only great feature of the picture . The green rural landscape with pretty red buildings is idyllic , too . There is also a corner of blue sky , for an outstanding composition .
Bravo

Hi Pablo,
I believe that the saturation of the colors is a bit strong, but in spite of this, the photo has a great attraction, due to this chromatism, to the beautiful very green landscape, to the trees, to the farms and to the spectacular clouds in the sky.
All the elements of the composition add up for to create an image with a high aesthetic level, also the cows grazing in the meadows.
A nice work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep
