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.
Cheers Chris

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.

Hi Charo
This is a simple composition and one that I think works really well. Those dark skies really make the greens pop.

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,

Hello Charo. Wonderfully. Your photo is a work of art and works outstanding. It is minimalistic and consists only of few picture elements. Outstanding and worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Ola Charo
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

hola charo

fascinating view. this place looks more like a steppe than castillian field to me. i've been in castillia several times but never encountered such plateau views. thanks for sharing.

kristaps

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..

Hi Charo,
I like your minimalist approach ... a fine composition. Nice moody atmosphere and good overall texture. Image and color qulity is good too. Well captured and composed ... excellent work!

Hola Charo,

uma linda vista do campo. Esse vazio é belamente quebrado pela construção. O céu carregado coloca mais dramaticidade à cena. Belas cores naturais. Um excelente trabalho!
Saludos,
Carlos

Bonjour Charo,
Une belle composition poétique, comme le confirme ton texte. La simplicité et l'efficacité de la composition est indéniable. Du très bon travail.
Passe une bonne journée.
Amicalement
Joël

Hola Charo. Simples e bonito. Muito boas cores e um céu espectacular. Muito bom ponto de vista. Parabéns. Paulo.

Hi Charo

Amazing shot and lovely green. The lone house and and the formation of stormy clouds really looking cool. The green grass are amazing too. Good composition and fine POV.

Lopshang.

Olá Charro,

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,

Puñetas Charo, eres intratable con tus visiones de esos campos!. Que imagen tan brutalmente fantástica!. Esta tratada con HRD?. Y esa casa solitaria en medio de los verdes campos?...Repito, BRUTAL!, me encanta :P

Buenas noches Charo

Felip

Hola Charo,
simple and effective. The green and grey with the house at the right place is strong, the quality works for it. I like this light on the ground and the POV.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hola Charo
Por lo menos parece que llueve en algunos lugares de España. Me encanta el contraste entre el verde y el gris. Ademas escojistes un edificio tan precioso.
Saludos
Nikki

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

Bonsoir Charo,
Une image grandiose! Originale et artistique.
Magnifique composition. Félicitations pour cet excellent travail.
Amitiés.

Hello Charo,
An eye-catching image, the thumbnail made me curious!
Attractive simplicity of composition, what is left of the house attracts my eyes...
Good lines in the fresh field, the view is enhanced by the dramatic sky!

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

Charo, this is lovely. It is a view of contemplation and relaxation. The colors are very nice and the composition makes an ordinary place into something special.

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.

Esta imagem é maravilhosa por vários motivos.
Para mim é a sua singela simplicidade e a harmonia que transmite.
Uma das melhores. Vai para favorita. parabéns Chao Parras.

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.
