the wheels of time, a photo from Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha

Photographer's Note

From one windmill onto others,
the silhoutte of time
turning.

---

What will time bring? Will 2022 be a return to normality? Will we be able to travel freely anywhere we want to? Will prices be affordable or will they go crazy? Will people get tired of restrictions or will they remain patiently waiting? Looking for time lost. Who knows where time goes? Who knows...

THIS PICTURE is a return to the quixotic and most picturesque windmills of Consuegra.

Hello Benny,
It was a good idea to include a part of the nearest wing. It fills an empty area well, is graphically nice and creates a connection between me and the two windmills. It's a very clear and bright photo with good colours and sharpness.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Benny, the inclusion of the latticed windmill sail points our eyes very neatly towards the two windmills on the small hills.
No sign of Don Quixote today!
A beautiful blue sky completes the scene.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Benny
A very well balanced image. The mill standing proud against the lovely blue sky.

Hello Benny,

Ik zou het niet durven, de wiek gebruiken als decoratie.
Maar ik moet toegeven, echt mooi geslaagd.
De bekende toegang creëert diepte en perspectief.
De ene molen naar links de wieken de andere kant, twijfel aan de werking.
Heerlijk foto werk, bedankt

Prettig weekend,
John

Ciao Benny,in fact there are many questions that are difficult to answer, hoping to return to normal in the summer, like last year, at least to be able to take a trip in peace and safety. The photo is spectacular, but in your gallery it is not a surprise but a rule, you are really great! Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Hallo Benny,
Heel wat vragen en in de nabije toekomst nog geen duidelijke antwoorden.
Je bezoek aan Consuegra heeft je heel wat mooie foto's opgeleverd.
Het uiteinde van de wiek zorgt voor een framing bovenaan.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hi Benny
A great original POV - through the blade of 1 towards the others. A perfect exposure.
cheers

hello Benny, We all hope that the new year 2022 will be better and will bring us normality. Iconic view from La Mancha. I like the composition with a part of other mill framing from above.

Best regards MAlgo

Hi Benny
I like your take on what must be a rather popular subject in Toledo. You turned an ordinary image into an unusual image by adding this creative frame at the top. Well spotted!
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Benny,

You recognised the possibility of creating a very strong composition, by including the sail of one mill into the f/g of the other mills. It works exceptionally well, filling the blank sky and giving the photograph a real 'wow' factor.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Benny
Striking picture with perfect landscape, very interesting history on the mill and super colours and sky. Personally I love you have filled the negative space on the top hence balancing the vertical format. Excellent work and your narrative
Best regards

Hi Benny,
Brilliant composition. At first I was wondering: what is the crate doing up there but then seeing the other mills details I realized it is a fragment of the other mill. It all made sense and knowing what is going on, allowed me to better appreciate the creativity of the composition.
The perfectly blue sky makes a great background for it.
Fantastic angle at the windmills.
Excellent work!

In England Boris already announced that he intends to remove all restrictions from 27 Jan in England. I think it is a reasonable approach at this stage. However of course we will see what the other countries will do. Especially that some suffer currently quite a lot, especially those where the take up of the vaccination was not great, like for example in my home country Poland.

Hi Benny.
Wonderful composition with these windmills that stand out wonderfully in that beautiful blue sky, I love the effect of part of a blade in the upper part, it gives a very original touch to the composition.
Great color, good sharpness and lighting.
Very good work. I like it.
You have a good day. Very best regards.
Luis.

benny

one of the most famous scenarios in spain.
I liked the the way you use the grid of the wind mill in the upper part creating something new.

take care
