Spring springs eternal…in the brash yellow splashes of the rapeweed fields sprinkled throughout the warming rural landscape.
These days, as I am out and about, I try to see if I can come up with a unified mini-photo essay–say, six to twelve related images. I did so even on this harshly-lit, afternoon walk with friends near the small town of Corçà in Catalunya.
The sky was almost completely empty, so I tried to think in terms of layers, lines, angles, shapes, and perspective.
The series…
Four layers–possibly five if you look hard. And one very slightly angled horizontal:

A T-intersection:

A lone tree and four different spaces:
Rapeweed Fields, #6. Corça, Catalunya, 2018
In this one, the tree and the cane were nice, but I especially liked that I caught everyone walking in step with the right foot off of the ground:

Prepping the field with lines and curves. Rapeseed negative space, so to speak:

Some layers and lines, yes, but it was the one solitary cloud above the trees that clinched it for me:
Rapeweed Fields, #9. Corça, Catalunya, 2018
Perspective…and the fence appears to be holding back the flood of yellow rapeseed from spilling enthusiastically into the next section:
