The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.
I've been thinking a lot about my more youthful days recently. I remember being 19 years old and thinking I knew everything. But the older I get the more I feel I don't know anything.
Anyway, this photo was taken at a couple shoot I did a while back. It reminds me of the movie Gladiator.
Took this after frantically looking for a place to stop when driving near Bristol, England; the usual story...rushing before the Sun actually got below the horizon, and was just for the clouds mainly. Luckily the side road I pulled into led me to this tree and wind turbine pairing. A bit of processing used to lift the luminosity of the grass helps balance the picture.
One of my first from my newly bought D7100 last January, before I converted it to Infra-Red use.
No more no less
eaten away our days
for a hunger to reign
longing for carefree ways
battered by stormy words
the cruelty of which remains
from embittered souls
where spite never refrains
isn't life a pain, sometimes
our precious space and placement
that feels like home, for a time
until burgled by vitrolic intrusion and defacement
necessitates the sowing of boundaries
no longer fertilising a crop of outlandish vocabulary
closed to the ostentation of ineffable beings
their self-seeking bilge of vile preambulatory
they lead the way in singular arrogant quotation
free from depth, shallow by sly name
their midst be a dumping ground for ungraciousness;
a ruth outcrop crossed by their own disrespectful shame
it's becoming a world away
endured once, but no longer commensurate
for a verbal spillage once is a stain forever
upon the word of Earth such obloquy does supersaturate
our space, no more no less
free to respire without cause to choke
upon the stench of others wasteful tirades
our phoenix-Oak protects from all that the fox may provoke.

These cereal fields are located in Alykos area between Tseri and Analiontas in Nicosia, Cyprus. The local name of the cone-shaped hill is “Vouni tis Rkas” (Granny's hill). According to folklore, the hill was originally a wheat pile which belonged to an old stingy woman. Jesus was passing from the area and asked for some wheat, but the woman refused and the wheat was transformed into soil; on a clear day one can see the inverted sieve of the woman at the hilltop.
Now, the scientific description: “Distinctive sedimentary geomorphology of Nicosia Formation. These hills are formed as their upper part consist of hard rock (usually sandstone or conglomerate) and the sides of soft marl rocks.” [Constantinou and Panagides (2013) Cyprus and Geology: Science, Environment, Culture].
Some technical info for those interested: this is a single RAW shot taken with Nikon D750 and Nikon 14-24 mm f/2.8 @ 14.0 mm and ƒ/8 with shutter speed 1/250s and ISO 100. Post processing first in LR for some basic adjustments and then to PS for enhancement and sharpening using Nik tools.
Let me know what you think!

The last rays of sunlight illuminate a stunning field of poppies on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire U.K
On our way back from Peoria, Illinois, we pulled of the highway to photograph some fields that were covered with yellow flowers. I have no idea whether these were wildflowers or something that a farmer had planted... but the combination of sunbeams streaming from the clouds and the yellow fields below certainly caught our eye.

Walked by this field of sunflowers a couple days ago and knew I had to come back with the camera to see what I could get.
What a lovely bright yellow field of sunflowers! Although the massive, bright blue TransMontana of LTE had priority in the publishing ( flic.kr/p/2q3NiJV ), here is a landscape of some beautiful plants, that I captured around a week earlier. Moreover, as the background highlights them, it's giving more power to the composition, and also makes the landscape more natural.
