Fields of Castilla XIV, a photo from Zamora, Castilla y Leon

Photographer's Note

Tormenta

Danzan los 嫫boles,
abrazados al viento, que lleva el ritmo,
agitan sus hojas, con ondulantes movimientos,
agitan sus ramas desesperadas
susurros, silbidos, crujir de ramas, ca獮a de hojas,
憖tasis de la danza que ya baja a la ciudad.
Quietud de bestias, que tiemblan temerosas.
Quietud de alas, que descansan obligadas.
Quietud de mariposas, ahora dormidas.
Quietud de estrellas, opacadas por las nubes.
Quietud de seres humanos en la noche de tormenta.
Oscuridad avanza sobre la Tierra.
Temores ancestrales lanzan su espantoso grito.
El rayo le ilumina sus caminos�
Danzan los 嫫boles abrazados al viento�

(N廥tor Mart璯ez)

Dos WS.
-----------------------------------
Storm

Dancing tree,
hugging the wind, which carries the rhythm,
shake their leaves, with undulating movements,
shake their branches desperate
whispers, whistles, cracking of branches, falling leaves,
ecstasy of the dance that goes down to the city.
Stillness of beasts, who tremble fearful.
Stillness of wings, which forced rest.
Stillness of butterflies, now asleep.
Stillness of stars, overshadowed by the clouds.
Stillness of human beings on the night of the storm.
Darkness is moving on Earth.
His ancestral Launch fears dreadful cry.
The lightning ... it illuminates his ways
"Dancing trees hugging the wind ...

(Nestor Martinez)

Ciao Charo,

Come dice Giorgio, il cielo completa l'opera, e lui di cieli, ti garantisco che se ne intende.

Ben fatto!

Hola Charo,
a wonderful cloudy sky with great textures above the fields. The shadows from the clouds are very pleasant down and the colours are warm and impressing even in that stromy view.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Ol� Charo!
A beleza contrastante entre o c徼 e a terra ficou muito interessante e atraente nesta sua fotografia!
A importante e estreita liga誽o entre os dois ficou registrado pela chuva que cai ao fundo!
Significativa e linda!

Hi Charo,

Great atmosphere by the threatening sky above this green-yellow patch-work landscape.
Good illustration by the poem.

parbo (11092) 2008-09-29 12:33

Hola Charo,

Enviable contrasts between dark clouds and green ground while still available blues on sky. Yellow fields and partially illuminated hill through clouds are amazing. Excellent complementary WS photos too. Congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

josepmarin (59385) 2008-10-01 10:48

Hola Charo,
me sigue asombrando tu capacidad para crear unas maravillosas composiciones con la sencillez, la fotogenia, la luz y los colores de los campos castellanos. Tus tomas son siempre muy atractivas a la vista, nos producen un buen efecto relajante y de paz, y sobre todo los cielos son inmejorables, muy dram嫢icos y al mismo tiempo muy est彋icos.
Me gusta mucho la textura del campo y de las nubes, la foto es preciosa. Buen trabajo en los WS y bonita poes燰.
Un abrazo,
Josep

ilDottore (5252) 2008-10-03 11:57

TFS and congratulations!
Chris

ElAprendiz (30) 2008-10-03 18:12

Hola Charito,

No hab燰 tenido oportunidad de opinar sobre esta foto, la cual es extraordinaria.

Ese conjunto de nubes en el cielo, establecen una bella y rica composici鏮. Los tonos, la profundidad y el contraste de colores en el suelo, merecen todos los calificativos de belleza.

jorgi (3810) 2008-10-04 1:44

Hola Charo,

simply stunning capture of inmense cloud formation that creates such a dramatic impression. Everything in this capture screams of infinity and vastness...these beautiful fields of yellow ang green and fantastic sky. And some rain can be seen at the "end" of the clouds. Simply beautiful impression from Spain.

Wish you lovely w-end,
Jeri

Jakab (3867) 2008-10-05 5:38

Hello Charo,
a rare moment when one can catch the remote rain! (Of course, not because of the rarity of rains but because of the proper lights seldom accompanied with storm.) Lights and colours here are extremely dramatic, the picture is really convincing. Very good, congratulations!
Laszlo

sacavem (18620) 2008-10-24 3:25

Ol� Charo,
