Photographer's Note
One more year. The sower is beginning
the seed in the ruts of the ground.
Two slow teams of oxen plough,
meanwhile the ashen clouds happen
darkening the field,
the brown sowings,
the gray olive groves. For the fund
of the vale, the river the cloudy water goes.
(November, 1913)
Rain and the sun. Already it gets dark
the field, already it is illuminated;
there a hill desparece,
there a hill arises. (In April, the waters thousand)
A few strophes of poems of Antonio Machado,
This place is located in the highway that goes of Toro to Salamanca, where the small wavy hills are planted of cereals under these clouds that were auguring a snowfall.

Hola charo,
Una preciosa combinación entre esos tonos grises y verdes. Buen detalle el incluir la casa. Me parece que el cielo está muy bien cortado en ese punto porque se adivina una zona de mucha luz que no hubiera quedado demasiado bien....
Buen trabajo.
Saludos!

Hola Charo,
an essential pic. Nothing too much on it. A shelter, the soil, the rain.
Beautifully composed.

Bonsoir, mon amie Charo,
J'aime beaucoup cette composition emplie de poésie. Entre terre et ciel, le bâtiment solitaire parle aux arbres et la plaine verte s'adresse à ciel bien gris.
Jolie réalisation.
Amitiés.

Hola Charo!
En voyant ta photo j'ai pensé à la télé-série "La petite maison dans la prairie". C'est très jolie ce paysage tout simple avec un bel éclairage sous un ciel nuageux et accompagnée d'une belle note poétique. Bonne composition et superbes couleurs.
Félicitations!... et bonne semaine,

Muito linda esta tua compositicao. Excelente contraste entre o verde da erva e o cinza do ceu. A pequena casa tambem ficou muito bonita mas eu talvez a enquadrasse um pouco mais á esquerda ou á direita
Abraço e boa semana

Hello Charo,
A simple but extremely effective composition that relies on tonal contrasts. The light nicely captured the soft greens of the new crops. The heavily charged sky brings a particular atmosphere, which is enhanced by the deserted building alone in the field except for a few trees..

Hola Charo,
una gran visión prácticamente como si fuese un espejismo con la solitaria caseta en medio del verde prado. La sensación de enorme solitud unida al dramatismo del cielo hacen que la fotografía tenga una fuerza cromática y creatividad muy interesante!
Un abrazo,

Hola Charo,
ésta no podía obviarla. Es una composición tan sencilla y al mismo tiempo con tanta fuerza, que creo que es fantástica.
El paisaje suave con un campo tan verde, su contraste con el cielo gris y amenazante, y la pequeña casita con los árboles, nos ofrecen una escena muy agradable y casi minimalista.
Perfecta tu visión de este encuadre, y perfecta la realización de la foto.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hola Charo,
it is impossible not to notice this capture. It stands out through my eyes with its stunning simplicity and enormous beauty. What would I give to make a shot like this one! What I love the best here, in company with striking green fields and dramatic sky scenery, is this white walls giving background to small trees. They create a graphic painting positioned in the middle of the field, like from other scene but so in harmony with its surroundings. Stunning simplicity of highest beauty. Wonderful!
Warm regards,
Jeri

Hola Charo,
Me gustan mucho estas paisajes cuasi vacías, donde la mirada se pierde en el infinito. Lo suave declive, las lineas subtieles en el terreno, el cielo amenazador y la casita sola y abandonada my bien emplazada componen una foto muy bella.
Saludos, José.

Hola Charo.
Muy buena composición con los campos verdes y la casa localizada fuera del centro, las nubes de tormenta realzan los campos sembrados de cereales. Buen trabajo.
No te puedes imaginar lo ocupado que he estado en estas ultimas dos semanas, espero que las cosas se calmen un poco.
Un fuerte abrazo.

Olá Charo!
Muito simples, mas muito bonita, esta composição. Faz-me lembrar os imensos campos do Alentejo.Gosto de ver a casinha isolada, com umas quantas pequenas árvores, no meio da planície infinita. O céu carregado ficou muito bem e as cores também estão boas.

Congratulations.
