What a beautifully rendered high contrast image! The sharp texture of the hay leads the eye to secondary subjects in the distant background. In the foreground, the - old worn-smooth? - paving has a few surprises of it's own too ;-)
So many scenes so little time right? Say only the perceptive people - most of us walk right pass these scenes without noticing they're there.
Thank you very much, @trumanity! I am so sorry I am only coming to this reply now, I have been guilty of neglecting my replies lately... Love your observation and translation! And I do love high contrasts... :)
Somehow my senses are on over-time when travelling, all the better to absorb the surroundings and take in the mood of the place... especially in case we don't return... :)
