Fields of Castilla XII, a photo from Valladolid, Castilla y Leon

Photographer's Note

La primavera besaba
suavemente la arboleda,
y el verde nuevo brotaba
como una verde humareda.
Las nubes iban pasando
sobre el campo juvenil...
Yo vi en las hojas temblando
las frescas lluvias de abril.
Bajo ese almendro florido,
todo cargado de flor
銄ecord�, yo he maldecido
mi juventud sin amor.
Hoy, en mitad de la vida,
me he parado a meditar...
︰uventud nunca vivida,
qui幯 te volviera a so鎙r!

(Antonio Machado)

Dos WS.
------------------------------------------
The spring kissed
Gently Arboleda,
Green and new outbreaks
as a green humareda.
The clouds passing go
youth on the field ...
I saw in the leaves trembling
the cool rains of April.
Under the almond bloom,
all loaded with flower
--Remembered, I cursed
my youth without love.
Today, in mid-life,
I stopped to ponder ...
Youth never lived,
who will return to dream!

(Antonio Machado)

Two WS.

Si se隳ra m燰, Castilla en estado puro, para lo bueno y para lo malo, excelente profundidad de campo, y unos colores preciosos, Charo, la composici鏮 con los surcos guiando la mirada me parece magn璗ica.

Hi Charo,

Wonderful clear colors, sharp details and fine depth to go along with a lovely poem.

Ciao Charo,
gran bella foto!
Il verde dei campi, contrasta molto bene con il cielo, e le nuvole arricchiscono la composizione.
Ottima gestione delle luci e grandi colori.
Ben fatto!

Hola Charo,
the spring colours on that descending slope with wonderful natural lines by the trees and acres have a nice contrast to that blue and white from the sky. Very nice view from a good POV.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Ol� Charo!
Uma linda paisagem! Gosto especialmente das linhas das planta踥es, de como a luz do sol bate nas 嫫vores (meio brancas, me parece) e do bonito c徼!
Parab幯s pela imagem!
Abra蔞s,
Neyvan

HOLA CHARO. ME GUSTA MUCHO LOS COLORES CONSEGUIDOS, DE UN LUGAR QUE PODIA PASAR INADVERTIDO LE HAS SACADO EL MAXIMO. LA PROFUNDIDAD EL MUY GRANDE. BUENTRABAJO.

snunney (130967) 2008-08-13 2:49

Hello Charo,
A very pretty capture of this lovely springtime landscape with its soft light and natural colours. The furrow lines in the fields make good lead lines and bring depth to the scene. Very nice sky as well.

Miha2ou7 (5162) 2008-08-13 4:02

Hey Charo,

A familiar, yet beautiful sight - the picture is thoughtfully composed, with the lines of the fields, very nicely saturated, sharp and clean, with splendid scenery.

Best regards.

jonathan_hart (21276) 2008-08-13 4:19

nice POV and landscape, vastness feeling, interesting light and colours
I wonder how would be a framing following the rule of thirds even if this one works well

Hola Charito:

Ya he visto tantas fotos de esta Provincia, que cada d燰 me familiarizo m嫳 de su belleza exhuberante. Por lo visto es una tierra de matices, con unos suelos muy ricos para la agricultura.

Los surcos fortalecen la composici鏮. La perspectiva es encantadora, finalizando en un bello cielo. Bonito trabajo.

Hola Charo,

I like tracks in furrowed field while creating a good depth and contrast with next green field. Cloudy sky completes your beautiful scene with blossomed trees. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

stego (24132) 2008-08-17 12:58

Hola Charo,
Voy a usar un lugar com𠒇, pero t鏔alo como un elogio: me recuerda una pintura. Despu廥 de haber echo miles de Kms con vistas algo semejantes en estas ultimas semanas, esta foto me confirma lo que me ha ocurrido muchas veces: Castilla en Primavera (y quiz嫳 tambien en Invierno) es un lugar de sue隳 para muchos paisajistas.
Un abrazo, Jos�.
