Castelluccio strips, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

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 monochromatic view 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.

Beautiful composition with an absolute riot of colours. The vibrant reds, blues and yellows among the subtle shades of green is pure visual delight.

Hi Silvio, What a nature abstract and it looks like painting to me too. The perfect exposure delivers great texture and tones of these leaves. Super clarity and mixture of colours. I like its diagonal lines. Thank for sharing

Straordinaria!
La piana di Castelluccio è sempre una tavolozza di colori con l'avvento della primavera ma in questa sei stato geniale.
Hai estratto un particolare per rappresentare il tutto andando a creare un'opera astratta che colpisce chiunque la vede anche se non conosce il posto e si domanda come tu lo abbia potuto fotografare.
Complimenti!. Una foto pensata e realizzata ancora meglio.
Ciao e buon fine settimana
Romano
