Crete Senesi, a photo from Siena, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

Crete SenesirnThe Crete Senesi are a singular setting, almost an island where the sun hits a knock, knocking the ground, blowing the wind unobstructed, the light is blind and the gaze can span everywhere, pursuing distant horizons, delightful lines, unique graphics.rnThey meet in the southeast area of the city of Siena, which includes the communes of Asciano, Buonconvento, Monteroni d'Arbia, Rapolano Terme, Montalcino and Trequanda, all in the province of Siena.rnThe name comes from clay, or clay, present in the ground, giving the landscape the characteristic gray-blue color and a lunar appearance. This characteristic clay, mixed with salgem and chalk, called mattaione, is made up of Pliocene sea sediments covering the area between 2.5 and 4.5 million years ago.rnThe landscape is characterized by hilly, gently rolled hills, bald and whitish hills, oaks and lonely cypresses, isolated farms at the top of the hills, tracts of wood in the valleys, the fountains that collect rainwater.rnThe area is also known for producing white truffles in the Crete.r

Ciao Silvio,
Wonderful lines of different colors across the fields in the picture.
Admittedly, the picture looks as a painting, and wond4ertfully collected even under the mist.
Buona serata,

Hello Silvio, a beautiful landscape with the rolling hills of Tuscany.
Subtle colours as the fields have been harvested.The house is a well placed focal point.
Lovely work.
Regards Jean.

Hi Silvio,

I like the cirves of the field. The point of view is showing the details of the trees and of the big house. The light is giving nice tints to the colors. Have a nice day.

Ciao Silvio,

J'aime beaucoup cette plongée dans la vallée à tes pieds. On voit loin et les détails sont très nets et ce malgré la petite brume en arrière plan.

Amicalement

Serge

Ciao Silvio
condivido il pensiero di Luciano, ma, visto che non l'ha fatto lui, penso che ci sia una pendenza a sinistra.
La foto rimane comunque bellissima, il gioco di luci e ombre sul terreno è una meraviglia.
Buona domenica
Carlo

Hi Silvio
this photo has a look of a painting, its very attractive.
I like how the two main visual focal points are offset, the tree on the lower left, the home upper right. The hills and patterns on the ground are great subjects too. fine shot
cheers
