This one's for Fred!

This one's for Fred!
Not in the 'Streets of Algete' sequence because it's just over the parish boundary in Fuente el Saz de Jarama. Another from my walk a couple of days ago. Our house can still be seen on the top of that hill.

Roger,
Old Owl,
Thank you both - I came across this ploughed field and immediately though of Fred's ploughed field shots that he does so well ... certainly better than this!

Always a bittersweet time of year, Ulrich.

True, Malik but as I have had this scenery to look at from the top of the hill these past 18 months, it doesn't seem exactly new!
Many thanks!

Interesting shot. I see that there as many rocks in the soil as in Menorca's.

Andy Rodker club has replied to ֎ — Jean Nymer club
I hadn't really noticed the rocks in this soil and wonder if they're not just dried out and hardened clods of earth?
But perhaps you're right!
Thank you, Nicolas!

Malgré la sécheresse, la terre se prépare à recevoir la future semence. Le cycle de la vie. Très graphique.

Lovely light and some nice earthy colours in the landscape. I also like the lines from the ploughed field. Everything looks a bit parched.............as it does here...........and I bet you can't wait for a period of decent rainfall..!!

Nicely captured Andy.............and it's good you're able to get a decent walk..........even though it's much flatter than you would probably like :-)

Thanks Keith! Both my physiotherapist and my sister think I'm bonkers, but I keep proving them wrong - I think I know my own body and capabilities. Compared to 4 months ago when I couldn't get around without the aid of a waking frame, I was quite pleased with my little walk here!

Good for you mate, you should be proud of yourself.

Pleased, rather than proud but very many thanks, Keith!

I think Fred will appreciate this one Andy :-)
It's a very pleasing picture, and it looks like quite a long walk from your house!
Then of course, there is the walk back, so I think you did well.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne
Thank you, Rosa. Yes, I think it's one of Fred's specialities - although his Dutch fields always look far more ship shape and Bristol fashion than these rather less immaculate Spanish ridges and furrows. Possibly something in the different natures of the two peoples!
Yes, I think you gathered that I was quite pleased with myself, and so I was but I don't want to get carried away - I know what hubris is like!

Yes Fred will certainly appreciate this photo - the plowing looks almost identical to the ones he sees in the Netherlands. How wonderful to be able to see this area from your home.

Thank you, Jenny! Yet there are differences - please see my reply to Rosa, above!

Lovely shot!! How nice that you can get out for a walk now.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Eunice Perkins club
Thank you, Eunice! Well, I've been going to the shops and also into Madrid unaided for a couple of months now. The only physical restriction is that I shouldn't travel to crowded places as i'm still immuno-compromised and another bout of Covid could have equally severe consequences as last time! But, yes a walk here carries little risk of that!

great view !

Andy Rodker club has replied to Nora Caracci club
Well, it's always dry at this time of year and it always looks it but as it hasn't rained THIS YEAR and the water table is vanishingly low and the reservoirs are, on average nationwide, at 29% of capacity. So rationing will come in very soon we're all sure of it!
Thank you, Nora!

A nice intimate foray and a nice tribute to Fred's majestic fields! (I thought of him in my last photo but forgot to quote him :-(
Have a great weekend, friend!
