  1. They are lovely photos. It reminds me of East Anglia where Maalie and I were brought up. There is a famous British artist called John Constable who painted views around the area in which we used to live.

  2. Dear readers,
    each of the images in this post hides a link to other places with big skies, all you need to do is click on them. Enjoy your travels! :-)


    LORENZOTHELLAMA:
    Thank you! :-)
    Constable would miss "The Sea", I'm afraid. ;-)

  3. These are just out of this world! Thanks for the sunshine that has not come around here for the past few days. You brightened my morning.

  4. I'm off to follow the links. Beautiful pictures. The land is not so different from places here. Gives you a feeling of unity.

  7. tutte belle, come sempre il tuo occhio sa dove e come guardare. ma la seconda ha un qualcosa in più. delle piccole macchie di colore che sono le vite che immagini dentro quelle case ...
    ps: sono stato ad istanbul il mese scorso, c'è qualche impressione sul blog

  9. Love all the shots but the second one really caught my eye. The landscape looks like a painting. You should enlarge this one and hang it. Great colors too.

  10. HEY!
    You gave me a link!
    I agree with Charles Gramlich - we all live under the same sky.
    I love your last image - what's that stuff called?
    I've seen it a bit in photos lately, it's so pretty - I don't think we have it here.
    And what are those weird little stumpy trees in the second last photo?

    Thank you!
    Sometimes I happen to be in a place, feel its familiarity, and then I realize that I am in a different country entirely. ;-)

    MAALIE:
    Thank you!
    I love summer days with clouds like these.

    LUC:
    Grazie! :-)
    La qualità e la temperatura colore della luce erano unicamente ideali,
    giuste per scattare queste scene nelle prime ore del pomeriggio (era difficile reprodurre i colori fedeli con le pellicole, ma oramai, col sistema digitale, è più attendibile).

  14. DEE DEE:
    Thank you!
    As I mentioned before,
    I love skies and clouds. ;-)

    PHOTOWANNABE:
    Thank you!
    Would you believe that I shot all these images from a single location, not moving more than a few feet?

    I agree with you and Charles,
    there's always more that unites us!

    I know the flower in the last picture under the name Queen Anne's Lace (from the USA, also "Wild Carrot" - Common Carrot, Daucus carota L., Wikipedia tells me).

    "Those weird little stumpy trees" in the second last photo?
    I was wondering myself, and took a close-up. I think these are very old cornel trees, that have been trimmed back over the years. I checked google, but couldn't find a match.
