The Wider Image - In search of Don Quixote
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, the enchanting windmills of Campo de Criptana stand tall against a dusky sky, creating an ethereal atmosphere. As the sun sets on April 4,2016, these iconic structures become more than mere landmarks; they embody the spirit of Miguel de Cervantes' timeless tale. Local legends suggest that it was here in Campo de Criptana where Cervantes found inspiration for one of literature's most famous battles - that between Don Quixote and the windmills he mistook for giants. The connection is palpable as we gaze upon these majestic giants ourselves. The image captures a moment suspended in time, with no signs of human presence. The stillness allows our imagination to wander freely amidst the foggy environment and mysterious clouds. The creative use of depth-of-field adds an element of intrigue and draws us deeper into this Spanish landscape. As we contemplate this photograph by Susana Vera, we are reminded not only of Cervantes' genius but also his ability to find beauty and meaning in unexpected places. These windmills transcend their practical purpose; they become symbols of courage, dreams, and the eternal quest for adventure. This remarkable image invites us to embark on our own journey through literature's rich tapestry while appreciating nature's awe-inspiring wonders. It serves as a reminder that sometimes truth can be found within fiction if only we dare to tilt at
