Nostalgia di Castelluccio, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

Between fine May and the first days of July, the plateau of Castelluccio is witness of an event of particular importance, the Closing. For various weeks the monotonia chromatic of the pasture, it comes broken from a mosaic of colors, with variations of tones that go from the ocher yellow to the red one. Even if "the Bloomed" festivity of falls back in second Sunday of June, does not exist a precise day in order to admire this charming show. Every year all is entrusted the climatic course of the season. In this period there are a lot of species of flowers in the Large Plane and the Lost Plane, walking along the paths can meet: genzianelle, narcissuses, violette, poppies, ranuncoli, asphodels, viola Eugeniae, alfalfas, acetoselle and other.
Place to 1452 meters on the sea level Castelluccio is the highest inhabited place of the Umbria. Place on the top of a hill that separates the Great Plan from tight the Lost Plan is a delicious small village with narrow lanes and the houses leaned the one to the others, nearly to repair itself from the great cold of winter. The Plan is famous beyond that for its splendid closing, also for the cultivation of the lenticchia, plant annual that blooms between May and August, pertaining to the family of the leguminose.

Silvio
Il titolo č perfetto di questo luogo nel suo splendore stagionale si puň avere solo una "dolce" nostalgia.
Un altro sentimento sarebbe riduttivo.

Ciao silvio,
Your shot is just delightful, breathtaking but I have to confess that I am fed up with hot weather and I'm looking forward to seeing the colors of the autumn here, but I'm affraid that we will pass from summer to winter this year...

Cheers,
Juan

Ciao Silvio,
sempre affascinanti le foto di questo luogo.
Immagino quanto deve essere affascinante visto di presenza, potendo sentire anche gli odori.
Una delizia per gli occhi. Bello il contrasto tra cielo e terra.

TFS!

Hello Silvio

A striking photo with fantastic colours. The foreground "painted" red by the flowers really stands out in the green fields. A fine composition too, with the hillside running in a fine diagonal across the frame. A beautiful landscape photo, Silvio:)

Best regards, Erling

Hello Silvio,
Now that autumn is well and truly here, it is very nice to look back on a beautiful summer composition like this. What a wonderful deep perspective and such light and colours. Superb sharpness. Thanks for sharing.

Buon fine settimana

Ciao Silvio!
I'm not saying this is a beautiful poppy field :-) But you, you know that it is a weed? :-) Still, I really like. Only one problem: Unfortunately, this flower only blooms for 2-3 days. The picture is very successful, the background of the mountains are like velvet.
Have a nice day.
Your young friend, Csaba
