The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge has the wonderful theme of Elemental; I’ll be sure to cover all the Ancient Elements of Fire, Water, Earth and Air during this week, as each has presented ample opportunities to me photographically.

In a break from the earlier posts in this series, I am going with a representational image for the Elemental of Earth.  In this image, we look toward the strong connection that humanity has with the earth for its sustenance, materials, living space and many other aspects of our daily lives…

Fields of Tuscany

This image came about from my noticing this particular field, as my wife and I were driving to the town of Pienza in Tuscany.  During the morning there were a number of photographers at this location, so I skipped it, only to find it even more to my liking in the afternoon!

Hope you enjoy!

  2. Grew up on a farm so this photo reminds me very much of that time. One thing stands out in particular, which again reminds me of my youth, is that no sooner had we harvested than new growth would appear.The first signs of green in the field in your photo are quite poignant.

    1. Thank you very much, Alan! That new growth comes in very quickly during the right season.

      Regards,

      Frank
