Fauna ibérica - La Gavina

Urban Disorder - Mediterranean Balconies

Sábanas, alfombras, mesas, tendederos, persianas, flores, hasta incluso un papá Noel al que se le fue la hora. Y la bombona de butano. Esto es el Mediterráneo. Sólo le falta el mar. Bueno, es lo que está enfrente.

Era el día que cayó esa nevada tan grande... No es que al gatito le apeteciera quedarse en las ramas pelándose de frío, sino que debajo del árbol acechaba un perro. Hay prioridades en la vida.

The End of the World - Finisterre

And then, the day came when the Romans could not step forward anymore. There was no more land to conquer, it was the end of the world. Finis Terrae.

Jungle Crash

This is a real airplane fuselage. It ended here after failing to land in Kathmandu's airport: Kathmandu is in the middle of a valley, surrounded by the tallest mountains on Earth, no need to explain why it was not the easiest landing place ever.

Nowadays, Nepali Army has a camp near this plane, and they use those rests to train the soldiers how to act in emergency situations such as hijackings.

Station Wagen

Those cars were parked on the street. But they are so clean. But they are so perfectly placed. It's all so ordered. It's German. 

This reminds me of this TV commercial we had in Europe after VolksWagen bought Seat. After the scenes showing you the car, or the story, there is always a final second where the name of the company is the only thing you can see, and the slogan. In this case it was "Pasión española. Tecnología alemana". I thougth it was nice, but some Spaniards got hurt by it. No wonder why.

Hand-in-Hand

Okay, so those hands are not real. I mean, of course they are real, but they are not alive. It's not a painting, it's a sculpture. It's a detail of "Ugolino and his sons" sculpture, by Jean Baptiste Carpeux, 1857. I really find it astonishing.

The story itself is quite sad. Those hands belong to a son who is grabbing his father's legs... in hell. It's taken from Dante's Inferno book: Inferno is worse than you think, it is a place where this father is jailed with his sons, and they are all left there, they know they will die from starvation. You should see the angst face of the father... The children know they are going to die, so they ask they father not to hesitate to eat their bodies so at least he can survive.

Cap the Creus

You already saw a similar one (click HERE).
But now you see the sea, the Mediterranean. The Mare Nostrum.
And at the rear plan, the Pyrenees, the chain of Mountains dividing the Iberian Penninsula from France.

I rather like this combination of possibilities.

Fog News

The picture is of my walking home. I was coming back after a visit to the Lycée Français de New York (LFNY). It was quite a feeling, since I spent all my childhood in the Lycée Français de Barcelona (LFB), my hometown. There are obviously so many similarities, that you cannot go out without remembrances.

Impressionism

I also enjoyed those ones... It is amazing how beautiful those paintings can be when you have them in front of your nose. The first picture is "Le pont d'Argenteuil", by Gustave Caillebotte. The second and third picture are from Vincent Van Gogh: Wheat field with Cypresses and Women Picking Olives, both from 1889-1890.

More Metropolitan

More works form the Museum. This is called "Spectrum", by Ellsworth Kelly.

Break Time

There's also Modern art at the Metropolitan. It needs more reflection.
