This photo is the most wonderful one I've seen for years! I wish I could, so to speak, go into this amazing photo and take a long, long walk in this peaceful landscape. Just beautiful!!
I do not say this lightly: this is hauntingly gorgeous. This new branch you seem to be following is wonderful, exciting. The presence of the sheep herder is poignant, one reason being that my father-in-law raised sheep for a time on a farm in Virginia, near Charlottesville, the home of Mr. Jefferson's university.
Barbara, thank you. I'd like to think these photographs — if they can be called that (compositions might be a better term?) — encourage viewers to wonder. I won't be abandoning the more literal style, just trying to push myself a little harder.
Zhoen, they're there, everywhere, in some sense.
Leonie, I'm sure you familiar with this kind of landscape. I find this kind of farmland far preferable to the easy, boring flat-land farms.
RR, thank you. Not sure I qualify for the 'Old Master' label, though ;^)
RR, I guess you're right! It's not just the adjective, though...
Zhoen, I find that a fascinating thought, in the same way that I sometimes think of people, birds, and other things I've photographed — those who might by now have long gone but still live on in the photographs.

ReplyDeleteGhosts in the landscape.
ReplyDeleteI want to be there. Right now.
ReplyDeleteI see this as an Old Master portrait of a landscape, in the tradition of the finest landscape artists.
ReplyDeleteAputsiaq, thank you! :^)

It's a magical place you've created. A fascinating work of art. I'd like to see more of these:-) Maureen
ReplyDeleteApologies, but Young Master really doesn't have the same sort of clout.
ReplyDeleteOne day, you will haunt this landscape.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maureen. A few more coming up.
