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.

Waves, but not at sea, Silvio.
Light-brown and golden hills in beautiful texture.
Well collected e buona serata,
Ike

Hello Silvio,
At first sight it looks a little like a carpet.
But this golden carpet was then rolled over the many hills of the region.
Excellently cropped!
Best regards, Paul

Hello Silvio
Excellent composition with full concentration on the yellow waving soil. No distraction by other objects. Just the soft lines of the sloping landscape and the smooth yellow structure of the earth.
A marvellous abstraction from nature.
Have a good evening. Groet Rob

ciao Silvio
le colline senesi sono una fonte inesauribile di foto ricercate, di ricerca grafica, begli gli incroci tra le linee del terreno e quelle della trebbiatrice e bello il colore caldo del grano tagliato
ciao, Giacomo

Hello Silvio, a minimal landscape; the tight crop focuses our eyes on the rolling land and the lovely texture.
Good work.
Regards Jean.

Hi Silvio,

I like the different curves or shapes of the field. The point of view is showing the details of the field. The light is giving nice tints to the colors. Have a nice day.

I like the minimalist composition and colors of these brown hills. Good textural and tonal nuances and superb sharpness and composition. The diagonals add dynamism. Tfs!

Ciao Silvio,
Sei impareggiabile a farci scoprire i paesaggi eccezionali d'Italia ! Primo piano magnifico delle onde terrestri formate dal dislivello del suolo nelle colline toscane. Bellissimo colore dorato dopo la mietitura.
Cari Saluti.
Maria-Luigia.

Caro Silvio

Minimalismo straordinario. Adoro i colori dorati e la struttura. Luciano ha ragione, e' un po somigliante di Castelluccio, anche se giallo invece del verde. Ottimo lavoro.

In abbraccio
Lisa
