WHAT A FROST CAN DO, a photo from Parana, South

Photographer's Note

Here we have a view of a slope in a lower part of my municipality. We can see the upper part with a young winter corn plantation completely burnt by the frosts, pay attention and see there is a rest of green in the lower part of these plants, they were not mature yet.
In the lower part of the compo we can see a pasture completely killed by the ice and some cows trying to find food there, this year many ranchers were obligated to buy food to give to their cows and many others lost their animals, other farmers who lost the corn, gave it to feed the cows.
Pay attention in the native trees, they preserved their green, because they are adapted to the light frosts.

...............

Temos aqui uma vista de uma área mais baixa do nosso município atingida pelas geadas deste ano. Reparem que o milharal da parte superior ainda tem algum verde, mas a parte de cima está completamente morta.
Já na pastagem morta aparecem alguns animais tentando achar comida. Esse ano muitos criadores tiveram que comprar alimento para dar aos animais, muitos outros perderam parte do rebanho e alguns usaram o milho geado para os alimentar.
Reparem que as árvores nativas mantiveram seu verde, por estarem mais adaptadas às geadas leves.

Hi Jorge,
Very educational note and photo agin. This is such a sad story. Looking superficially I wouldn't think this is so bad. I would just see a field with some crops and cowas enjoying the outdoor.
The note made such a difference to the way we perceive this picture.
Very well done,
M

Hi Jorge,
Indeed this farming landscape no more looks green. Frost is not a good thing to plants that are not adapted for such. Good documentary shot. Uphill view with some cattle looks very nice. Needless to say, corn is not farmed in Finland.

Hi Jorge,

It is sad seeing the result of the frost. The point of view is showing the details of the cow and of the field. The light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Jorge,

Also the meadow it seems very dry maybe not through frost, but through to dryness.
Indeed corn has a burned colour.
Excellent composition also nice presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

hello Jorge,

This is a clear photograph, with a sad message!
The crop has been spoilt and the cows are struggling for nourishment!
I know in some parts of France, the light burners so that the warm smoke floats over the crops, to nullify the effects of the cold weather/frost. I wonder if this would be possible in your region.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Jorge,
The photo clearly shows the consequences of the cold days and nights. The few animals are well scattered around the composition and stand out from the pale green and yellow colours.

Hi Jorge
I guess that you can't be in a serious frost area if the farmers plant corn in winter so the occasional frost can cause havoc. A good informative photo and text.
cheers

Hello Jorge,
Yes, the contrast between the corn and the trees is obvious. I take it farmers were not expecting frost at this time.
