Landscape

My entry to the Mono Monday "Can't live without" challenge. My life is very dependent on this landscape as it's a major part of my farm, and one of my favourite photographic objects. Maybe I could live without it, but I wouldn't want to.

A poem that caught my eye during the visit to the town museum of Valkeakoski last summer fits to the theme quite well:

Every person should have a landscape.
Own landscape.
Not land, not field nor forest nor water or island.
Just landscape.
- Martti Rapola "Vaarin maisema" 1959 (Grandpa's landscape)

The writer was a professor of the Finnish language. Translation by me.

When I saw the sunset colours today, I almost thought I couldn't convert this to monochrome, but after some Silver Efex magic, the result looks quite pleasing to me. The colour version in the extra.
