Negra sombra: youtu.be/gdnVZE5I8Os, Luz Casal con Carlos Núñez, sobre un poema de la poeta gallega Rosalía de Castro.
.
Negra Sombra
Mentiría si dijese que todo era luz en su vida. Había días que la negra sombra se instalaba en el centro de su pecho, y como un agujero gravitatorio absorbía irremediablemente toda expresión de luz a su alrededor. Como si de un sumidero se tratara, una espiral, un torbellino de formas y colores eran atraídos implacablemente hacia ese monstruo invisible que todo se lo comía, insaciable ser que habitaba desde siempre en su interior, que había nacido con ella y que moriría con ella, y que despertaba en los momentos más inesperados, sin motivo aparente, sin aviso previo.
Ella cohabitaba con aquella negra sombra con resignación, como el que llega a un acuerdo en un matrimonio de conveniencia; sabía que habría días que tendría que convivir con él, y otros en los que la dejaría tranquila y podría disfrutar del viento y el calor y la luz del sol sobre su rostro, que era lo que más la satisfacía de este mundo.
Pero, tras tantos años juntos, tampoco renegaba de él... Era —decía— como en las noches más oscuras del año, los únicos momentos en los que podía apreciar las estrellas más distantes, el oscuro firmamento que hacía más bellas si cabe, las constelaciones de su particular universo. Era —decía— un retiro de este alocado mundo, en el que sosegar la marcha, hacer un alto en el camino y saber qué estrellas brillaban realmente a su lado, las que iluminaban su camino, y las que se había extinguido, aunque su luz siguiera llegando todavía a sus retinas.
Eran, en fin, como decía ella, esos momentos para aclimatar las pupilas para, cuando vinieran los días llenos de luz y de color, saborear más lo que la vida le regalaba.
Excerpt from the brochure:
44 Black Shadows by Denise McKay
McKay’s work continuously builds upon and integrates elements from her other artistic practices. “Black Shadows” pulls from her figurative paintings of the female forms and her experience in the performing arts.
In a time of need, you find yourself with no one to turn to.
You alone, your by yourself
The silence seems like a dagger driven in your heart
You go outside and look at the Sky.
You see clouds passing by the blue hue and you find something worth a time to deal with.

I wrote this last night and I took this picture this morning.
The only difference is day and night
and during the afternoon, it rained.
I dont know what this mean.
(lets transition to somethign more cheerful)
Ahaha I sounded depressed right there. Whoops. I was listening to a sad song when I wrote it.
Happy Sunday everyone! :D.
"I am... the Black Shadow."
Oh, quite foreboding.
Tell us about yourself!
"I am... mysterious."
That's because you haven't told us anything about yourself.
Hence our request.
Where are you from?
"I am from... a laboratory."
Oh, I like the way he said 'la-BORE-ah-TORY'.
Is it in the castle east?
Or the master bedroom where the vampires feast?
"I was... created by... Iwao and Kinkotsuman as... the Ultimate Wrestler."
Oh! You're literally from the laboratory!
Kind of... ew...
Also... Iwao??*
And Kinkotsuman??**
We've met them and they're both really.. hm...
Stupid.
Idiotic.
Moronic.
Yeah, those things.
Those two have difficulty navigating a light switch! And they're going to create some warrior in a laboratory??
"I was given... the strength of Kinnikuman..."
Okay, that's impressive.
"the technique of Robin mask..."
Even more impressive!
"...and the brains of Kinkotsu Man"
...
BWAAAHAHAHAHA!!
You poor dear!
How did you even find your way to the stage?
So who did they have you fight?
"I was... to fight Kinnikuman."
And what happened?
"I attacked... Iwao."
HAHAHAAA~~!
Ohhh... this is good.
The brains of Kinkotsuman.
And you know that idiot was the one who thought it was a good idea!
HAHAHA!
"I am... Black Shadow."

this very old drystane dyke runs downhill for about half a mile towards the longfaulds near potholm. between the castle hill, and wrae hill, a ton of stone per yard, there must have been plenty of blood-sweat and tears, carting this little lot almost a 1000ft up and over the hills all those years ago.as where the dyke leaves the picture is very-very steep - almost vertical. the photo was taken from the top of a very old style not long after day break. with the sun behind me, hence the shadows on the ground. langholm, dumfriesshire, scotland. view large
the morning star starts to ride high over whita hill. and starts to heat a cold - early summers morning up, just wish it was hot enough to incinerate those irksome biting midgies for good, as seen from the becks walk. langholm, dumfriesshire, scotland.
Much thanks to my friend, Barry Pate for graciously allowing me to use his excellent picture, titled; “The Chequers Inn as the background theme in this artwork. Barry’s original picture can be viewed here. By the way, I have an open invitation from Barry that if ever I should make it over to England and this pub, the first pint of ale will be on him. I never forget, Barry – keep this in mind. ;)
My knowledge of motorcycles is very limited (of course I suppose many believe that my knowledge of all things is very limited but that’s another story ;). That said, I “think” the depicted motorcycle (with sidecar) is a 1950-52 Vincent Series C Black Shadow model...........but since I neglected to record the information / specifications from the display placard at the time that I took this picture (at the 2013 Barrington Concours d’Elegance), I am at the mercy of whatever information can be found on the internet or through public source materials. * If anyone viewing this print is able to provide more specific information about this vehicle, I would welcome your comments.
Here is what I have gleaned (from internet sources)
Vincent Motorcycles, "the makers of the world's fastest motorcycles", began with the purchase of HRD Motors Ltd less the factory premises, by Philip Vincent in May, 1928.
HRD was founded by the British Royal Flying Corps (RFC) pilot, Howard Raymond Davies, who was shot down and captured by the Germans in 1917. Legend has it that it was while a prisoner of war that he conceived the idea of building his own motorcycle, and contemplated how he might achieve that. It was not until 1924 that Davies entered into partnership with E J Massey, trading as HRD Motors. Various models were produced, generally powered by J.A.P. engines.
Philip Vincent was advised to start production under an established name. He had built a motorcycle of his own in 1927 and in 1928 had registered a patent for a cantilever rear suspension of his own design. With the backing of his family wealth from cattle ranching in Argentina, Vincent acquired the trademark, goodwill and remaining components of HRD from Humphries for £450 in 1928.
In late 1931 Phil Irving first joined Vincent as an engineer alongside fellow-engineer E.J. Massey from the original HRD company after initially working on metallurgy for Velocette, leaving to return to his native Australia in 1949. His first engine design was an OHV 500 cc single-cylinder engine in 1934 called the "Meteor".
Legend has it that Irving accidentally put a side-view tracing of the Vincent 500 motor wrong way up on top of an equally sized drawing of the same view of the same motor, and saw, moving the tracing so the crankshafts and idler gears coincided, that the result looked like a possible design for a V-twin. This resulted in the 47.5° V twin which appeared in 1936. (The single leaned forward 23.75°.)
The company was promptly renamed Vincent HRD Co., Ltd and production moved to Stevenage. The new trademark had The Vincent in very small letters above the large "HRD". After World War 2 Britain had an export drive to repay its war debts, and the USA was the largest market for motorcycles, so from 1950 the HRD was dropped from the name to avoid any confusion with the "HD" of Harley Davidson, and the motorcycle became "The Vincent".
The series "C", which was introduced in 1949, had a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) 50 degree OHV V-twin engine running a 7.3:1 compression ratio.
The 1949 Vincent Black Shadow had 54 hp at 5700 rpm & was good for 125 mph, hence the title “The World’s Fastest Production Motorcycle”. While there seems to be no question that the Vincent’s were fast, they were not without certain drawbacks. Reportedly, the clutches and transmissions were prone to breakage.
Unfortunately, although HRD motorcycles won races, the company ran at a loss. In January 1958 it went into voluntary liquidation. The company was initially bought by Ernest Humphries of OK-Supreme Motors for the factory space, and the HRD name, jigs, tools, patterns, and remaining components were subsequently offered for sale again.
