This is the rest of the story that sits behind this image. 

It all started when I decided to buy my DSLR back in November 2015. My idea for this purchase was to be able to make better images of my village - Varbovchets. I wanted to make the perfect image that will describe the village. I was seeing the image in my mind as one that includes the century tree that is in the village. I tried many different angles of photographing it, but the nearby house and road limited me.

Near the small village of Varbovchets, Bulgaria, there is this magical place, where the mountain ends and becomes valley. Most of the fields are workable and last year (2016), just after they cropped the fields and gathered the production I was able to take a shot. This place is special for me for a simple reason – we used to have a small part of the field and it’s just behind the plumtree. Each time we were coming here I was using the plumtree as a landmark in order to find easier our field.
