Casale con torre colombaia, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

Farmhouse with dovecote tower

Today we finally got out of the red zone in Umbria and I can show you a new photo.
The plain that goes from Madonna di Lugo to Azzano is characterized by the great concentration of dovecote towers, one of the densest places in Italy. The breeding of pigeons, in addition to procuring precious food proteins, allowed a large availability of pigeon guano, a valuable fertilizer: "Merchants go to Azzano more than any other place to prove it, while that People are usually stabbing Canapines with Palombino, and here I am pleased to recall what I said in the Annotation of Chapter 1. that our Ancestors had not built so many Divers for our Campaign to eat the Pigeons, but to have the pen, and especially for the Canapine. " .
The area was, in fact, famous for the cultivation of Hemp, as Ancaiani always remembers: "in the aforementioned Places of Azzano, and Beroide, more Hemp is harvested than in the rest of the Places in our Territory"; cultivation was facilitated not only by the availability of low-cost fertilizer, but also by the rich presence of water.

Hello Silvio,
This is a beautiful composition. Although the dovecote tower is mentioned in the title and the start of the note, it is no doubt the blossoming tree that captures my attention. Actually, the tree, the green field and the hill are all more attractive than the distant farm. The light was perfect and created very good colours.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Silvio
I'm glad there's a shadow there, that gives the scene a little more of a visual interest. very pretty mixture of colors with the pale blues and soft greens. lovely mood you've created
cheers

the tree is well positioned and balances the white farmhouse very nicely with the shadow leading the way.

Pozdrav.
Lepo rascvetalo drvo i zeleno polje, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom, perspektivom i dobrim tekstom.
Lepa kuca, zeleno drvece i planina u pozadini.
Lepa fotografija i uhvaceni trenutak sa senkom.
Zelim vam lepo popodne, sve najbolje.
Paja.

Hi Silvio,

The length of the field is creating depth. The point of view is showing the details of the trees and of the mountains. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Silvio, beautifully composed with the tree set to one side so that we can see the buildings and the cypress trees across the flat green field.
The shadow of the tree adds to the scene.
A perfect blue sky.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Silvio,

The clear blue sky makes a great backdrop and compliment the large hill at right, also in blue tones. The fg green field and flowering tree, possibly a magnolia? complete the scene. Good sharpness and framing too. Tfs!

Ciao Caro Silvio,

Although the main thrust of your notes is describing a dovecote, it is perhaps a tiny building in the b/g. But that does not matter, for this is an excellent composition, with the flowering tree perfectly positioned in your composition, with its shadow forming a delicate guide towards the b/g buildings.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Silvio,
Spring has clearly arrived in Spoleto.
Beautiful composition with the long shadow of the tree with its blossoms on the grass in the foreground.
Best regards, Paul

Ciao Silvio,
this is such a beautiful sight for me. TThe tree decorates the scenery so nicely! I like very much great weather here with well saturated natural colors. The tree has quite an extraordinary shape and is decorated with flowers.
Excellent work,
M

Hi Silvio
Interesting write up accompanying this rural capture with the lone tree offers a strong focal guiding us along the scene with nice hint of the mountain. Detail, colour and contrast are spot on. Excellent capture
Best regards
