Like an old Master

Velada, Spain, 1982

Photograph by James P. Blair

"A farmer in Velada, Spain, displays a traditional toboggan-like device that is used to crush straw and open garbanzo bean pods during harvest. This area, near Toledo, was made famous by the works of El Greco, who journeyed to the region in 1577.

(Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, “The Genius of El Greco,” June 1982, National Geographic magazine)"

Hi katyzzz

What a beautiful photo - if they turned that into a sepia it would make a great 'old fashioned' one... like the photographer had stepped back in time to capture it.

The history of Toledo is very interesting isn`t it?

Ash,

Don't know, not into history, nor art history, but I have heard of El Greco and his Toledo image.

I did a post on him, remember?
