Comment Nice picture, but where's the EV? More a Commons-type photo, this... --Janke | Talk 12:07, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently it's representative of a sizable region of Portugal. Sca (talk) 14:02, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a kind of iconic view of the Portuguese region of Alentejo: a rugged wheat field (green or brownish depending on season) and rare cork oaks. Any Portuguese person will recognize it. Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:11, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify: My first thought was "this could be (almost) anywhere"... --Janke | Talk 14:19, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, but a big sign saying "Alentejo" would be rather disturbing . Seriously though, there is a little bit of discussion in the article about the topography of the area, which I checked before voting. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:32, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the Palouse of PNW, to which I compare it above, is similarly a very distinct & distinctive region, too – not just anywhere.

That of course means that this image could be used in the Palouse article, too...

Except for the Cork Oak which is exclusive of southwest Europe and northern Africa, of course -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:12, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Clouds over hills in Steptoe, Washington

Support At first I thought it's near my home :-( so similar Godhulii 1985 (talk) 17:34, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Although this is a nice "artistic" photo, the EV is questionable in my opinion. I get from it that there are fields and occasional trees in that part of Portugal, but not much about the overall appearance of the countryside. The comparison picture "Clouds over hills in Steptoe, Washington" is much more encyclopedically useful in that respect. 81.132.196.151 (talk) 20:10, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
