Thank you very much everyone for your kind words, it is a pleasure to share this image with you Earth Shots.
This is a Spanish landscape, the region of Castilla La Mancha.
It is a feature of the famous Spanish novel “Don Quijote de La Mancha.”

You’ve caught the magic light AND a magic moment as well. Perfect composition and interesting subject matter. Ah, yes, Don Quixote, read that in my 4th year of High School Spanish. Just as I imagined the countryside.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! I concur with everyone…it’s gorgeous and dramatic, like a beautiful old painting, fabulous light and color, excellent clarity and depth, all the way to the purple mountains. That spot of light on the fields at the foot of the mountains is absolutely perfect! A great work! Completely!

With your good help, Renato, my three sons framed a beautiful , large copy of “The Five Winds” for my 80th birthday. It hangs in my bedroom, where I see it several times daily.
Don Qui is my pen name, over which I hane written humor and satire across the years. It has been part of my email address for many years. Your artistic “Five Winds” Reflects perfectly my imagination of Don Quixote de la Mancha, Rosinante, Dulcinea and Sancho Panza. I urge you to do other similar artistc work!
All the best,
Bob
Renato
Bob Mullinax: Your words make me very happy.
If my picture has served to make people happy … this is the best reward for me.
Thank you very much to you for your interest.
A hug from Spain.
