Location: Blufi (PA) – Blufi è un piccolissimo paesino (889 abitanti) in provincia di Palermo in cui, in prossimità del Santuario della Madonna dell'Olio, poco distante dal centro abitato, si trova un campo di grano che, ad ogni inizio di primavera, si trasforma in un tappeto verde punteggiato di rosso dovuto alla fioritura spontanea di decine di migliaia di tulipani. Si tratta del tulipano precoce di Raddii (tulipa raddii) originario dell'Asia minore e della Siria: il fiore si presenta di un colore rosso scarlatto con caratteristici petali a punta che presentano una macula scura alla base ornata di giallo. La fioritura, spontanea, si verifica generalmente intorno alla metà di marzo e inizio di aprile con un massimo della durata di circa due settimane. Un'antica leggenda persiana racconta di una delusione sentimentale: una donna che per molto tempo aveva atteso il ritorno del suo uomo, cadde mentre vagava alla ricerca del suo amato su una delle pietre aguzze ferendosi gravemente. Pianse con la consapevolezza che sarebbe morta senza rivedere il suo amore. Le sue lacrime si mescolarono al sangue e, cadendo sul terreno, si trasformarono in bellissimi fiori rossi. Da allora, tutte le primavere, questi fiori tornano a fiorire in ricordo di quest'amore infelice. Un'altra antica leggenda narra, invece, di due giovani sposi che, non potendo avere figli, si recarono al Santuario della Madonna dell'Olio per chiedere il miracolo e posero sull'altare dei tulipani bianchi come omaggio alla Vergine. Dopo qualche mese, scoprendo di aspettare due gemelli, tornarono al Santuario per ringraziare la Madonna e, con loro grande sorpresa, videro che i tulipani candidi da loro lasciati erano diventati rossi. Si voltarono stupiti e poterono osservare un immenso campo verde punteggiato di rosso. Inutile dirvi che, leggende o non leggende, la bellezza dei colori (tra l'altro il rosso ed il verde sono proprio i miei preferiti) mi ha consentito di divertirmi tantissimo e di giocare con qualche "esperimento".

Dear Lello, thank you
very much for the time you have dedicated to this image of mine and for the very welcome compliments.
Reading your beautiful comments I'm glad I was able to create an image that was not just a "trivial" field of... Tulips.

We talked about your "Tulip wawes" to try to give an "impressionist" imprint to these floral arrangements, keeping a very low tempo freehand. Well, it seems to me that the experiment has been fully successful and enjoyable.
Instead, I tried it by giving it a light pictorial dress.
Intense and interesting presentation.
Greetings
GG

Excellent work, very suggestive, of considerable charm: good Paul. Congratulations also for your long accompanying note to the image: reading it I was very sorry for the woman disappointed and inconsolable for the distance of the beloved, who falling into a stone and injuring herself to death begins to shed desperate tears not so much for the awareness that she will bleed to death, but because dying she knows that she will no longer see her beloved .... And it occurred to me to think that unfortunately here in my part where there are miles and miles of wheat fields without a single poppy that is one, probably, affections and loves are accorded on registers of another stamp.

A gradient created by the blur effect that makes this scene a mix of two contrasting colors that take movement.
Very beautiful this image of yours.

Before starting I'm glad to read your fun in experimenting in photography, since no one pays us it's nice to have fun photographing :-P
Beautiful visual effect where the movement of tulips is perceived with the effect you made.
We know that legends are part of the cultural tradition, but such a fantastic flowering must have its own story to tell 8-)
Congratulations Paul and thanks for all the beauty you have offered.
Greetings, Loris
