WPC: Variations on a field

A confirmation that everything is cyclical always feels mighty good.

Back in my old bedroom I used to have four photos on the wall closest to bed. They depicted the same tree in four seasons: leaf-shedding, snow-covered, budding, lush. Upon moving to Italy almost five years ago, I immediately chose a tree, well, a big bush, and the exact location from where I shall take a photo each month all so.

I did. The photos looked quite identical.

This is another attempt but not a planned one. Only now I went through my archives and collected several photos of a field that I pass every working day on my way to the station. These days I carry my camera on most occasions. This means a lot of I’ll-delete photos that I never do. No wonder the field was represented enough for me to make this compilation.

An idea! This will be the first post of my new regular “variations” feature! Since I pass a lake too, another field with a stone house, and some cypresses. I have all of these photos gathered right here and their turn will come sooner or later. Yeah!

Here is the first. Let’s call it the Field. I suggest you click on the first photo and let’s run through the year, or better yet, five years, and come back to the green.

February 20 2014: First piercing green.

February 25 2014: Second calm green.

March 1 2017: Photobombed by bestia.

March 27 2017: Third, settled green.

April 29 2013: Sometimes, but not always, the field starts to bleed.

May 2 2013: less than a week later.

May 3 2013: The next day.

May 28 2014: Same month next year is another story.

June 3 2013: Back to 2013. This was the field at its reddest.

June 3 2015: Same day two years after and still no repeat of explosion.

October 20 2017: Summer months are missing. Like this, just more brown and dry.

October 27 2017: Colours optional.

December 15 2015: December and still the same. You can see the Aurelia fast road passing. and to the right leading – you guessed it – to Rome.

December 18 2015: Aha, something is happening.

January 21 2016: Early morning and everything is blue. Just a little longer and we’re back to green.
