Playa Papagayo Lanzarote
Christmas light in Milan near Duomo Square.
Simply jumping down from a flower pot during a long exposure with my Canon G12
[como de la cubierta de un barco]
... and as an association of thoughts,
If this seems like the deck of a ship,
if today is the day that is ... I stay here
with Neruda's verses passing in my mind ...
Here I love you.
In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself.
The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters.
Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.
The snow unfurls in dancing figures.
A silver gull slips down from the west.
Sometimes a sail. High, high stars.
Oh the black cross of a ship.
Alone.
Sometimes I get up early and even my soul is wet.
Far away the sea sounds and resounds.
This is a port.
Here I love you.
Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
I love you still among these cold things.
Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels
that cross the sea towards no arrival.
I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.
The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there.
My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose.
I love what I do not have. You are so far.
My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights.
But night comes and starts to sing to me.
The moon turns its clockwork dream.
The biggest stars look at me with your eyes.
And as I love you, the pines in the wind
want to sing your name with their leaves of wire.
A beautiful moment of light along the road towards Fataga.
The profile of the mountains has something enchanting for me.
All those roads that run through the mountains open infinite possibilities of discovery in my eyes.
Looking at all these possibilities of escape, discovery and alternative routes in this light inevitably leads me to a connection with the lateral thinking ...
"Roscón de los Reyes" is a large ring-shaped cake that is decorated with candied fruits; symbolic of the emeralds and rubies that adorned the Three Kings’ robes. In the middle of the cake sits a gold foil cardboard crown. Hidden within the pastry is a porcelain or plastic figurine of a baby to represent Jesus.
Whoever receives the piece of cake with the baby gets to wear the crown and is declared "King" or "Queen" for the day. It some areas, it also means the person is designated to bring the next year’s "Roscón de los Reyes."
I've got the bean ...
My Best Wishes
This is my greeting card for this year.
It represent very well my mood for the past year.
This year I started to hear even less and then I tried hanging a lot of time alone.
I have read many books, I photographed a little and I tried to travel as soon as possible.
My great hope for the new year is to recover hearing by surgery.
I don't want to feel caged in a silence that I haven't chosen.
I do not like the cold, not here where I live.
There is nothing poetic, the snow gets dirty quickly.
The sky is gray, there is often a feeling of sadness.
The winter colors here are always hidden behind a gray scale.
Holidays for me are the sun and color and whenever I can
I go into the sun.
Like now .. Maspalomas is waiting for me!
