A green land

Description

The mountain scenery has a particular charm in some gray and wet days, especially now that Autumn has arrived. The meek donkey, the best of companions in those pathways difficult to access, brings in his back the fruitful result of a trip to the nearby chesnut trees ...
The inspiration for this work came, with a few adapting changes, from a neighboring land where the villages and their architectures and ways of life do not differ that much from my own: The beautiful Galicia, which I love as much as my own Country even if don't know it so well: I believe we all have a "Country of affections" whose boundaries not always coincide with the ones in the maps, and this green land in the north of Spain with a character of its own, and to which I am bound with tenuous ties of blood, is no doubt part of mine.
