The sky is the limit
Driving though the countryside roads we pass this one, very picturesque spot I look forward to see every time. The empty hills with just few cork trees around that with one very old farm house on top that nobody lives in.
I am not sure if it is even used to hide sheep from the rain. It's just there.
And yes... there are sheep if we are lucky. Dozens of white and black ones often chill and eat there. Usually in th winter and spring when the grass is green and juicy.
When you are lucky you can also catch some of the big white Cattle egrets slowly walking around. They usually stay close to cows, but from time to time few of them can be spotted on the lawns too walking between the taller grasses.
I keep trying to shoot them, but they do not like humans and get spooked very easily.
One day... one day I will photograph them!
One image in colour just to show how lovely and green the hills are at this time of the year.
Why did I turn them to monochromes? Because I like how the ouds and sky looks like in black and white.
See?
Rain good.
Heat bad.
:)
Monochrome bonus song:
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul To Squeeze
year 1993
Shot with Nikon D5500 + Sigma 105mm lens
All photos and text are my own.
The color burns my eyes! Nice choice of Soul to Squeeze and it fits the bill in the black and white aspect. This was so strange hearing in the film Coneheads haha
Oh I actually haven't seen that one but now I get why they showed up in the video.
Sheep do not forgive. :p
Scotland lookalike.
That sounds scary...
🐑 booohahah!
I wouldn’t mind living on top of that hill in the abandoned house. There must be some amazing sunrises and sunsets visible from the top 😍
One day, one day I’m sure you will capture them 💙
Oh yea... It is a private area so I cant go there, but I can imagine the view is amazing!
Beautiful landscape… so serene.
Hope you will catch them one day. 🤞🏻🍀
I only was lucky a few times to capture them.
Thanks for sharing these stunning photographs @ewkaw 👋🏻😊☀️
One day I will :) They are pretty birdies.
Yes, pretty birdies indeed 😎
One day… 😉
I love those fluffy clouds.
I can never get enough and look enough at clouds.
And the Chili Peppers? Any time!!
They are so much better than a boring blue sky :)
👍
:))
..heat is overrated:))
the third photo: the raindrops on the fence, I love that!! especially in black and white, which it is anyway:)
Yes it is!! :D
Oh my you noticed the little drops :)
of course, in fact I love those drops when going on walks... especially when they freeze on frosty autumn mornings:)
The freeing part will not happen here unfortunately. But yea, frozen would be even better :D
These are so much better in mono than colour, the depth and mood is quite tantalizing. Beautiful place. I always wonder why those types of barns tend to get so run down, but it adds to the photography aspect.
People die and nobody takes care of them after I guess.. It is a shame, but yea - they photographs beautifully.
The clear sky and beautiful natural scenery remove the embarrassment of the house without an occupant, fortunately there are still sheep that faithfully accompany the empty house, otherwise the spirits will Wandering there, he he lol
Maybe sheep are the spirits :p

The last photo looks like the old Windows default desktop background 😂 Everything else reminds me of idyllic movie scene of the country. 😊
