Slawek,
this is impressive to me, it is difficult to express. Such loneliness, such an empty landscape. I am always attracted to this kind of wild, immense view. Here it is the human factor that is overwhelming, this shop that is the daily life of a family, beautifully decorated but poor looking. I think your composition is great with the young man in the foreground looking at you, the woman going somwhere...where ?? to the car, to a water well ?

Can you tell us some more please ? It is fascinating.

Maybe the light is a bit dark on the men's clothes and door but it's a detail, the general light is dramatic, bleak and great.
Great work, truly.
Regards

Michèle

Hello Slawek,
A tremendous shot, quite overwhelming. What an atmosphere! These threatening clouds, this rocky ground, the loneliness, and the little house which is quite pretty in its shabbiness. A picture I will not easily forget.
Best wishes,
Gert

Hi Slawek,
I love this kind of landscapes which seems have no limits. I agree with Merline about your composition and dramatic sky and me, too I'm curious to know more about this shot.
