Il girasole (Helianthus annuus, L. 1753) è una pianta annuale appartenente alla famiglia delle Asteracee, con una grande infiorescenza a capolino.
Il fusto può arrivare a 3 metri di altezza, mentre il diametro del capolino può raggiungere i 30 cm.
Il nome comune italiano deriva dal fatto che il capolino ruota durante la giornata in direzione del sole, comportamento noto come eliotropismo.
Il girasole è originario delle Americhe dove fu coltivato fin dal 1000 a.C. Francisco Pizarro scoprì che gli Incas consideravano il girasole l'immagine del loro dio del sole. All'inizio del XVI secolo furono portati in Europa sia riproduzioni in oro del fiore, sia semi dello stesso. Heliantus è invece il nome greco del girasole.


Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are annual plants native to the Americas, that possess a large inflorescence (flowering head). Sunflower stems can grow as high as 3m (10 ft), and the flower head can reach 30 cm (11.8 in) in diameter with large edible seeds. The term "sunflower" is also used to refer to all plants of the genus Helianthus, many of which are perennial plants.
Francisco Pizarro was the first European to encounter the sunflower in Tahuantinsuyo, Peru, where the natives Incas worshipped its image as a symbol of the sun god. At the beginning of the 16th century, gold figures of this flower as well as its seeds were brought to Europe.

Good Morning, my friend and neighbour,

I love sunflowers; they always make such a happy, colourful shot. In this instance, they have their heads bowed, waiting for the sun to guide them!

Excellent composition. I like how the repeating yellows draw the eyes into the shot, giving a great feeling of depth.

Have a good Sunday,
Bev :-)

Ciao Silvio,

questa bella campagna è un vero sogno. Molto rilassante questa immagine. Ottima foto con colori stupendi, ottima luce e ottima definizione.

Buona domenica e tanti baci,

Stasa

Salut Silvio
Si tu n’avais pas précisé ou la photo a été pris j’aurai dit qu’elle a été pris chez nous en suisse romande.
Le décor y est tout à fait pareil, les couleurs similaires et le relief aussi.
Un être belle image de tournesol. Bravo.
Bon dimancheé

Hi Silvio,
What a great looking field! You were certainly spoiled for choice with sunflowers in this scene. Have never seen so many in my life. Very vibrant colours, the deep DOF is great too. Hope there weren't too many bees and wasps around :). Well captured.

TFS,
Scott.

Ciao Silvio! Wonderful landscape. Amazing country. Superb sunflowers. Nice clouds. Splendid colours. Good shot. Well done!

Hi Silvio,
A wonderful perspective of this sunflower field captured from a marvelous POV!
Great DOF with spectacular scenery and sky!
Nice lighting and accurate sharpness.
Adequate PP work to render such a beauty!
Fabulous work, Silvio!
Best regards e buona Domenica!

Marvellous repetition of the yellow sunflowers, which contrast superbly, against the blue sky, in the bg. Good sharpness, saturation & framing. Well done!

Hi Silvio, Ciao,
What a beautiful field of Sunflowers (Tournesols)
Excellent POV./DOF.. well presented and composed as usual.
good colors and sharpness,
very lovely field of tournesols..
complimenti,
Michel

I like this Silvio! Your clarity here is very nice! Seems to be a spilt screen, half sky, half flowers. Maybe using a super wide angle and getting more flowers would add a punch to the shot! But still a nice work from you again!

Ciao Silvio, hai trascorso una buona domenica?
La tua fotografia mi ha lasciata a bocca aperta per la composizione perfetta e per i colori.
La nota è molto interessante e avrei aggiunto che la forma del girasole è in stretta relazione con i numeri di Fibonacci.
Sulla testa di un tipico girasole, per esempio, il numero delle spirali rientra molto spesso in questo schema: 89 spirali: 55 che si muovono in senso antiorario e 34 che si muovono in senso orario ma meno ripido. Il più grande girasole che si sia mai conosciuto aveva 144, 89 e 55 spirali.
Questi sono tutti numeri che appartengono alla sequenza di Fibonacci. Hai presente rasentare la perfezione? Un caro saluto Mari

Beautiful landscape The sunflowers are magnificent, the weather lovely and colours and details great TFS
warm regards

yellow faces of sunflowers and the blue sky with white cloud make really summer combination of colors.
very wide flat field of sunflowers, distant view is also beautiful.

campi di giarasole nell'immediate vicinanze di Montefalco!.. ti dirò.. mi sono perso anch'io con la mia macchina fotografica nei girasoli umbri di un pomeriggio d'estate.. ai piedi di Todi..
altri tempi (2 anni fa).. cmq raramente si trovano campi cosi belli da fotografare..
ottimo connubbio di colori.. bellissima atmosfera.. e profondità dello sguardo.. che si perde insieme ai pensieri..
un saluto

Ciao Silvio :)

Très beau champ de tournesols ! J'en ai croisé plein sur la route de mes vacances, mais je n'ai jamais pu m'arrêter pour les photographier :( (les inconvénients de l'autoroute !)
Belles couleurs d'été, ma saison préférée que j'aimerais voir durer éternellement !
