Buone vacanze 2013, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

I go away for an holiday of two weeks

Between the end of May and the first days of July, the plateau of Castelluccio is witness of an event of particular importance, the Closing. For various weeks the monotonia chromatic of the pasture, it comes broken from a mosaic of colors, with variations of tones that go from the ocher yellow to the red one. Even if "the Bloomed" festivity of falls back in second Sunday of June, does not exist a precise day in order to admire this charming show. Every year all is entrusted the climatic course of the season. In this period there are a lot of species of flowers in the Large Plane and the Lost Plane, walking along the paths can meet: genzianelle, narcissuses, violette, poppies, ranuncoli, asphodels, viola Eugeniae, alfalfas, acetoselle and other.
Place to 1452 meters on the sea level Castelluccio is the highest inhabited place of the Umbria. Place on the top of a hill that separates the Great Plan from tight the Lost Plan is a delicious small village with narrow lanes and the houses leaned the one to the others, nearly to repair itself from the great cold of winter. The Plan is famous beyond that for its splendid closing, also for the cultivation of the lenticchia, plant annual that blooms between May and August, pertaining to the family of the leguminose.

Silvio!

As a former farmer (for summers while in college, I drove a tractor in Kansas) I love this image. As an aspiring artist, I envy you for this image. As a lover of herbs, I salivate for this harvest.

Howdy Silvio,

I have visited many flower fields, both Nature's and manmade, and your Plateau of Castelluccio is certainly one of the most impressive for the multiple horizontal color lines and immense size.

Nicely created and presented,
Ciao,
Ray

Ciao caro Silvio,

An interesting note and another fabulous and colourful photograph from the plateau of Castelluccio!

Almost like a patchwork quilt, the blocks of glorious vibrant colour make up this almost abstract picture which you have composed superbly well with the aid of your long lens.

Wonderful rich though natural colours, lovely light, perfect exposure and exquisite details and clarity.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

P.S. Enjoy your holiday!!

Ciao Silvio,
e' troppo tardi per farti gli auguri per le vacanze, spero che sono state belle e che quel che rimane sia piacevolissimo. Questa tela ha tutto l' incanto che siamo abituati ad ammirare e che ogni volta ci lascia stupiti di nuovo. Ottima inquadratura, magnifici colori ed alcuni minuscoli "dettagli" per dare uno stupendo senso di scala. Complimenti e grazie!
Tanti saluti e tutto il meglio,
Ourania
