Ukrainian fields, a photo from Odeska, West

Photographer's Note

Kind of minimalistic photo. One sees such endless fields going in Ukraine. The photo taken from the bus. I do not know what grows here, I suppose that it is wheat.

From New York Times:

Russia and Ukraine together produce nearly a quarter of the world’s wheat, feeding billions of people in the form of bread, pasta and packaged foods. The countries are also key suppliers of barley, sunflower seed oil and corn, among other products.
Food prices have already risen globally as a result of pandemic-related shipping disruptions, rising costs for farmers and adverse weather, and wheat is no exception.
if farmers could not harvest due to lasting military operations, or if port facilities and railroads have been damaged, the situation will be particularly gloomy. Many countries in North Africa and the Middle East are particularly dependent on wheat from Ukraine and Russia and likely to be hard hit.

Today, i.e. on March 18, at 09.00 the number of refugees in Poland from Ukraine exceeded 2 million. They are mostly women with children. There are many problems connected with it. Most people need accommodation, food, work, medical assistance, children need teachers in school. Another problem is that many people are not vaccinated, there are people ill with tuberculosis.

Two more minimalistic photos in Workshops.

Hi Malgo,

The length of the field is creating depth. The point of view is showing the details of the cereal field. The light is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

Hello Malgo,
You were clearly inspired by the Ukrainian flag, but this photo is better balanced than the flag according to photographic rules. ;-) We don't often see such views of endless fields on TE, so this is a nice change from the important buildings in the big cities. You managed good sharpness through the bus window.
Thank you for your kind remarks on my latest photo.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Malgo, this reminds me of paintings of wheat fields by Van Gogh.
A minimalistic scene, but your words give us all the information we need.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Ciao Malgo,I am glad that you have addressed this issue, in recent weeks in Italy we have discovered that our pasta, famous all over the world, is produced with 70% Ukrainian wheat. The lack of supplies and the increase in prices have put this leading sector of our economy in crisis and many pasta factories suffer greatly. And a good season is not expected, here in the north it hasn't rained for 100 days and the rivers are dry. 3 beautiful photos that address different themes, excellent details on Pushkin's sycamore tree and the famous Potiomkin staircase. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hi Malgo,
Golden tone of the crops fits perfectly on the Ukrainian theme. And wide panorama to this vast landscape. Slight motion blur further emphasizes the impression of endless fields.

Hello Malgo,
A beautiful view of the endless golden field with a bit of green in front of it and all underneath a blue sky. Good shot with excellent clarity, especially considering it was taken from a bus.

HI Malgo
Ukraine is one of the world's largest exporters of wheat so wheat it must be. A good minimalist panorama.
cheers

Hello Malgo,
I like the minimalism of this frame. Let us hope that they will be able to plant the crops this year, and, if so, that the crops will grow undamaged.

Hi Malgo,
Good format to evoke this product of Ukraine and the problem with war and the risk of food shortages for some countries ... Hope the end of this sad war !

Hi Malgo,

A nice tribute to Ukraine. Definitely a minimalist composition, but it also gives us a feel for the vast steppes of Ukraine. As you mention, the war produces many bad effects around the world, not just Ukraine.

nessa foto nгo aparece trigo, a imagem nгo й muito nнtida, apesar de ser bonita, mas acho que й um milharal. sim, o trigo ucraniano vai fazer muita falta. meu pai vendeu o trigo dele essa semana depois que o preзo subiu. lindas as outras fotos.

Hi Malgo,
A magnificent composition of these fields, with the wide plain planted with cereals and due to the color close to harvest, a perfect line of the horizon in this good perspective.
An effective color, along with a good management of lighting and sharpness.
Very well done. I like.
All the best for you. Have a great day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Cześć malgorzata,
these are the colors of the Ukrainian flag. Endless fields of grain, necessary to feed the world. It's a pity and a shame what happens there. Whoever said that "War is merely the continuation of policy with other means", was wrong. There is no justification for the beginning of a war.
Great capture of this endless seeming plain of grains.
Kind regards,
Roland
