Castilla, una tierra llena de historias y de historia, lugar de grandes enfrentamientos y conquistas, donde hombres libres han forjado sus destinos con gran trabajo y valentía.

 

Recorriendo bellos parajes,

de una castilla,

quizás olvidada.

 

Tierra durante siglos castigada,

por la acción humana,

a pesar de sus pesares,

conserva la esencia, el todo, su alma....

 

Muchas gracias a todos!!

Thanks a lot! :D:D:D

Sunset at this big Loch In Inverness Shire, Scottish Highlands.

It is my almost 15 years since my move to BC and getting away from the cold weather of Montreal. This solitary bench and lamp post looks out amid the ice and snow onto the frozen Lake St. Louis. It shows the bleakness of winter in the West Island of Montreal. Photo was taken along the Lakeshore by Stuart Hall. However, despite the colder weather back East, I still miss the winter seasons there.

Arar, sembrar, segar, hacer gavillas, acarrear la mies, trillar, cosechar… Un microrrelato en el que se recuerdan los viejos y duros oficios de las gentes del campo:

 

—¡Padre, padre… déjeme las botas… que yo iré a arar, que ya se uncir las vacas!—; así le dijo el hijo a su padre, pues veía que el duro trabajo de arar era terrible, y su padre traía las manos ajadas del frío y de tirar del ronzal y guiar.

—¡Madre, póngale a padre manteca en las manos y envuélvaselas en los trapos limpios de lino!—. Y así pasó el duro invierno después de la siembra. Era por principios de julio, cuando en las plazas se ponían aquellos segadores a hoz, para que los contrataran… venían del Bierzo y de la Galicia de interior, y mientras segaban cantaban… —“Ya vienen los segadores en busca de sus amores, después de segar y segar…”—, mientras iban haciendo gavillas; al día siguiente venían los carreteros a acarrear la mies.

 

—¡Ten cuidado con la purridera… que la carga el diablo!,— le gritaba el que estaba encima del carro, al que le subía las gavillas con aquella larga horca… y así se cargaban los carros que luego había que llevar a las eras. A veces moría una vaca, y bueno, el burro para trillar… había que uncir vaca con burro. “Cien haces son suficientes para una “parva” señera…”.

 

—¡A la trilla, trilladoras, que el alba amarilla brilla!—. Después de trillar había que aventar para separar el grano de la paja, al atardecer se hacía esa labor, con la brisa y lanzando la mies al viento; luego llegaron las máquinas manuales, las beldadoras… “Era por julio y agosto, la beldadora se atragantaba con tanta mies… ese año no hacía hambre en las casas del silencio”…

I get a deep sense of inner peace when I see a beautiful bird such as this roseate spoonbill feeding and preening in a glassy surfaced lagoon, bathed in early morning light.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

This store, located at the Herengracht in Amsterdam, specializes in selling buttons and related accessories.

 

Too bad they did not use buttons instead of a padlock to secure the shop ;-)

Reflections of the dirty river

Peričnik Falls is one of the best-known waterfalls in Slovenia. It flows from a hanging valley in Triglav National Park into the glacial Vrata Valley, where the water of Peričnik Creek then flows into Bistrica Creek.

 

I had to deal with persistent showers when I got here although the showers relented from time to time making some shots possible. The valley was bursting with autumn colours and the walk up to the falls is short and intense.

 

The blend of red, orange and yellow colours coupled with flowing water and a big rocky outcrop, makes for a compelling viewing, especially if you love waterfalls. Kinda like xmas coming early :)

 

It is one of the most beautiful waterfalls you will ever see and oh..slap means waterfalls in Slovenian :)
