Bellissimi scenari di nuvole e prati in fiore dalle parti del Monte Avena, sopra Feltre (Belluno)
Buona giornata

This series captures the movement of avena fatua, wild oats, being stirred by breezes. Using an iPhone and a little macro clip lens I look for movement, play of light and interaction of the avena “flowers”. This photo is unedited.
These grasses (maybe some kind of wild oat, I have to find out) grow in the Lavendula and wheat fields. They danced so gracefully in the hot summer breeze.
This is one of my own favourite photographs :)
Just looke it up: it is a kind of "Avena Sativa"... but the wild weed kind:
"Other species are nuisance weeds in cereal crops, as, being grasses like the crop, they cannot be chemically removed; any herbicide that would kill them would also damage the crop."

Here are wild oats blowing in the wind. This grass is the non-native Slender Wild Oat (Avena barbata, Poaceae) which is an abundant in local fields and roadsides. This is my photo for the Macro Mondays group, with the theme of "Intentional Blur". Usually I do everything I can to eliminate motion blur, but this time the wind helped me get a photo. HMM!

An unidentified beetle amongst the beautiful wild oats.
Botanical name: Avena fatua.
Family: Poaceae.
Taken in the Moutainside area of Gordon's Bay, Western Cape, South Africa.
The animated, sterile or wild oat is a species of grass weed whose seeds are edible. It is likely an ancestor, and in many places a direct competitor, of modern agricultural varieties of oat. It is native to the Mediterranean Basin and most of Asia. The species is widely naturalized and grows on all continents except Antarctica. In some parts it is registered as invasive and in many parts seen as a pest, because it tends to grow in areas and conditions cultivated oats are grown and is host to pests and pathogens that also threaten commercial cultivation.
I have not found an explanation as to why the word sterile appears in the scientific and a variety of common names. However, many common names for the species (in English the animated part of animated oat) refer to the movement of its panicle in the wind. A panicle is a much-branched inflorescence, while an inflorescence is a set of flowers that together form the shape of one flower.

As I explained before, for two weeks now I have been, if not bedridden, at least mostly housebound as a result of a crippling knee problem. I can still drive around and run errands when mandatory, but it is hurtful and I am definitely not up to lugging photo equipment and go shooting. Furthermore, when this struck, I didn’t have many photos waiting for upload, what with the Winter season coming to an end, the pandemic still with us that doesn’t really encourage outings (the one day I went out, on March 9, on a photo shoot for the Fondation pour la Sauvegarde de l’Art Français, I became a COVID contact case of someone I had brushed against during the day, luckily without any consequence as I never was infected)... not to mention ridiculous wartime gas prices!
The bottom line is, a couple of days ago, I simply ran out of stuff to upload...
So, I had the idea to turn to some older photographs of mine to which I had, in 2021, given a “new life” by creating black-and-white versions of them for the purpose of a photographic essay that had been requested from me by the Department of Mediæval Studies of a US university. The essay’s theme was the emulation, with the tools of today, of the gorgeous black-and-white photography found in the books of the Zodiaque collection La Nuit des temps, devoted to religious art and architecture of the Romanesque age in Europe, and in particular in France. I’m sure many of you have heard about those books and/or own some of them.
Anyway, since those black-and-white versions are available, I figured I might as well upload them to offer you, who are kind enough to follow my stream, something to look at while I recover and until I can resume more normal photo activities...
Thank you in advance for your patience, and I hope you will enjoy this “renewed” content à la Zodiaque! I will put in a short description of each photo below.
A masterpiece of Romanesque sculpture: the altar in the Notre-Dame de l’Assomption church in the village of Avenas, near Lyon, France.

I am quite happy with this photo, as I have never seen one so correctly taken anywhere else. Even Dom Angelico in the Zodiaque book couldn’t quite manage it, because of the lack of space to maneuver a camera and perspective-corrected lens into position...
This is the southern side panel of the masterpiece sculpted altar in the village church of Avenas, near Lyon, of which I showed the front in a recent upload. It depicts the church behind presented (i.e., paid for!) by King Louis le Débonnaire to saint Vincent, patron saint of the church.
