Crete Senesi, a photo from Siena, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

Crete Senesi
The 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.
They 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.
The 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.
The 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.
The area is also known for producing white truffles in the Crete.

Hi Silvio,

I like the different types of lines going throught the field. The point of view is showing the details of the field. The light is giving good earth tones. Have a nice day.

ciao Silvio
Astrazione pura, bellissimo il taglio obliquo perpendicolare alle tre linee e i solchi dell'aratro che hanno creato una bella filigrana, morbidissimi i colori e le ombre, mi piace.
ciao, Giacomo

Hello Silvio,
Nature is a real artist here, the shapes, textures and colours are very beautiful. The gentle forms of the slopes are wonderful, especially in this fine autumn light. Great photo work!

Ciao Caro Silvio,

This is another fine photograph from your series!
Your excellent composition has turned the ochre hillsides into a pattern of brown, yellow and grey hues, swirling like the grain in wood. The rule of thirds is easy to see!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Silvio,
Another great capture of that very special landscape near Siena.
The many long lines running over the hill slopes give the land a unique view.
Excellently cropped without a part of the sky.
Best regards, Paul

Ciao Silvio

A wonderful study in textures and tones and unusual to see the landscape so dry. Good sharpness & well framed & composed. I like the repetition of the contour lines ploughed into the hillside. Tfs!

alvaraalto (42804) 2017-10-20 5:23

Hello Silvio
I’m sometimes flabbergasted what fascinating designs can be generate by the cooperation of nature and culture. It isn’t easy to find the perfect, balanced composition in such a landscape, but you did.
Have a good weekend

Hi Silvio
Absolutely so well defined landscape with lovely abstract effect, pleasant golden tones, sublime shades and shadows. I love the fact on how those repetitive curvy lines actually hold the focus firmly and bringing the whole depth of the scene alive!!!! Congrats
Best regards
