Glad to see more of your work back at channel 1. Like Masabo, I enjoy the image of harvesting the wind. I also enjoy the cadence of lines such as the one about the goats. Nice work.
Thank you for giving me five minutes of oneness. When your video ended harvesting only the wind, I heard crickets chirping under the still parching sun outside the window. I could experience another Europe from an oriental room.
when the cobwebs came to view was fitting. I got a strong sense of that shepherd's life and his labour through your musing and this worked for me in a key mode of what poetry can do; open up a sense of otherness and of wonder, setting my own imagination afire. And there is a strong sense of loss too when you turn back to the present with the wind machines (gently but firmly) and all they stand for. Good work. Enjoyed greatly.
@Caspar33 Thanks, Fred. It is quite hard to imagine now how this landscape looked in the past when it was all worked. There are still vineyards but these are hard wrought. This year there has not been rain for 4 months. John Piper's comment of 'beautiful decay' with regards to the English landscape has a kind of validity here, tragic as it is.
Super! It took a while to realise that 720p HD is best viewing mode (for me at any rate) as then the download was better and on viewing again, having absorbed the components you have used, I was able to settle down and appreciate the interaction between the twin screens when employed, the voice over and palpable magic of the stone shelter and the landscape. It's clear that this was a labour of love and is communicated effectively. The 'silken thread' puzzled me for a moment then -(contd)
It's good, it must have been unusual circumstances under which you felt the need to disable the ratings.

I liked the encounter of present and past in the narrative, like a fleeting memory carried by the wind (around 2.25). A lovely stroll.

Just gorgeous. The construction reminds me a little of New Grange. A gorgeous, poetic meditation.
