Rosy Ostuni for Silvio Photo

Photographer’s Note

Caro Silvio, avevo già pensato di dedicartela, ma tu mi hai preceduto.

For more informations about this pleasant village, please see (Silvio1953's) photos or my theme about it.

At the foot of Ostuni the green silvery sea of olive groves merges with the blue of the Adriatic. It is an ancient, noble and famous town, known especially for its whitewashed houses that contrast with the pinkish brown stone of the monuments.

The monumental secular olive trees have been growing here for more than five hundred years. They are among the most veteran Italian olive trees and their fruit gives a blonde coloured sweet olive oil. From these ancient trees the oil is produced.

They are different from each other, and each one has its history, there’s one folded by the wind, the other “mutilate” from the lightning, the knots of a tree seems to have a smiling face, while another one reveals a frowning expression.

In a world which pursues the uniformity, thanks to the olive-trees the diversity here exists.

Ciao Stella,
ho seguito con interesse le foto di Silvio da Ostuni ed ora trovo altrattanto interessante la tua risposta. Mi piace molto questo panorama in semicontroluce che disegna su un cielo dai colori tenui e tenerissimi la sagoma della città.
Buona serata
Antonio

A fine late evening capture. The little village offers a nice range of interesting silhouettes against that lovely sky. A very peaceful and serene feeling.

Un tramonto suggestivo su questa antica rocca con gradevoli venature rosate. E' bello come la chiesa sulla sommità e le altre costruzioni si stagliano contro il cielo.
Buona giornata,
Donato

Ciao Stella,
very nice the colour tints of this splendid sunset.I like the hill that is lighted with the last rays of the sun with the sun still painting pastoral colours in the clouds makes this a memorable shot.Well done.

Have a nice Weekend,Danos
