The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,
and there to meet me is my Mama and Papa.
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry,
and there's that old oak tree I used to play on.

Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Then I awake and look around me, at four grey wall surround me
and I realize that I was only dreaming.
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre -
arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak.
Again I touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
as they lay me neath the green, green grass of home.

(Tom Jones - Green Green Grass Of Home)

Hi Vlad,

looks like you were on the Moon... lol I like your POV exposing very well the mountain(?) hill(?), with very nice contrast against the sky. Good placement of the building giving sense of scale, but enough discrete not to break the composition. tfs

'Neata Vlad,

Faina imaginea greceasca. Ambianta creata de cerul albastru si pamantul gri cu pata de culoare data de casa, este foarte placuta ochiului.

I love the title Vlad!! Very appropriate.

Hello Vlad,
I've never been to Greece, but this photo really gives me the "grey feeling" of being there, in this barren but beautiful landscape. You have also chosen a frame that perfectly fits with that general mood.
TFS & kind regards,
Erik
