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.

Ciao Silvio,oggi sono positivo,per cui ti dico che questa è la tua peggior foto della serie senese,probabilmente qui hai zommato moltissimo e i dettagli ne hanno risentito parecchio,anche i colori sono un po' andati....buon weekend,Luciano (comunque su TN ho messo di peggio..ehehehe)

Bonjour, cher ami Silvio,
L'on dirait une peinture d'un impressionniste. Le texte dans la note est parfaite, inutile de paraphraser, tout est dit avec talent.
Alors, je contemple !
Amitiés.

Hello Silvio,
I love the soft, gentle shapes of this wonderful landscape, it looks so special and your composition makes it look like a painting. The colours are gorgeous as well. Great photo work.

Hello Silvio,
Beautiful lights and colours for this well realised landscape composition. The green copses supply a lovely pair of contrasting focal points. The gentle undulating hills take on a sculpted character.

Ciao Caro Silvio,

From the thumbnail, I thought this was the inside of a cave!
What amazing colours; not what you would expect at all, but they reveal the gently, undulating nature of the terrain so very clearly.
The trees offer a few little colour changes, acting as separation lines.
A remarkable photograph!

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Silvio,
I think we will never get tired of this fascinating scenery. It was a good idea to keep the sky out of the photo. The view becomes even more like an abstract painting without it.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Silvio,

The different type of lines have a graphical effect. The point of view is showing the details of the fields. There is a good contrast between the colors of the picture. Have a nice day.

Ciao Silvio

C'est la photo minimaliste par excellence. Plein de choses à voir et rien en même temps. Les couleurs sont douces comme le temps d'automne.

Amicalement

Hello Silvio,
A very remarkable landscape in very special tones.
I like the composition with the rolling hills without the sky and with some vegetation and trees on certain spots.
Best regards, Paul

Ciao Silvio
You created an overwhelming painterly effect here with the rolling hills, sweeping vistas and the pastel colours. Photographic impressionism at its best.
Have a nice Sunday

Another great picture for my list of favourites.
Excellent work, Have a good Sunday, Groet Rob

Hi Silvio
Admire the effect of silky smoothness of the landscape and love the fact that the green shrubs in contrast give some ideas of size and reference point. This creates that sensational waves with excellent colour softness and separation to this peaceful nature beauty. Indeed a pleasure to behold, Congrats
Best wishes

bello disegnare linee sinuose con la complicità delle colline, e giocare con le sfumature di marrone ed ocra (le terre senesi, appunto), ed inserire una macchia verde buttata li...

bel risultato anche se il meglio era esserci

ciao, Giacomo

Picture like paint.
Fantastic landscape.
Cozmic landscape.
