Me vais a permitir un cambio de registro en los temas que os estoy ofreciendo estos días. No soy experto en Flamenco, pero me gusta, y pensando en esos amigos que tengo por el sur (incluyo a todos aquellos con los que tuve el honor de compartir comida durante su visita a la Ciudad del Cierzo) y aprovechando esta fotografía, quiero ofreceros una pequeña selección de temas
Camarón de la Isla – “Mira qué bonita”
Impresionante camarón de la isla con Paco de Lucía y Ramón de Algeciras (hermano de Paco). Esa voz y esas guitarras… ufffff
Camarón de la Isla - Villancico
Sigue el Arte con mayúsculas. Camarón acompañado de Tomatito a la guitarra.
Triana Pura (Esperanza la del Maera) - Villancicos por tangos
Esta señora tenía un arte grande y una gracia especial que caía bien a todos. A eso se le llama “duende”, o se tiene, o no se tiene.
Estrella Morente – “Canción de los pastores”
El maestro Enrique Morente fue mucho más que un renovador del flamenco. Fue un visionario, un pozo de arte y sabiduría. Su legado es eterno, pero quizás su gran obra haya sido ser el referente y creador de una saga de grandísimos artistas, entre los que destacan su primogénita, Estrella Morente, junto a sus hermanos Soleá y Kiki Morente, y al resto de esa gran familia que son los Morente-Carbonell. El arte de Antonio Carbonell, las guitarras de Montoyita y Monty, el cante de Ángel Gabarre o el baile de La Globo.
“Calle del Aire” es un emotivo espectáculo artístico en el que los espectadores fueron partícipes de una Navidad en el hogar de los Morente. El público formó parte de esa gran familia de artistas con los que compartieron la alegría y la felicidad de estas fechas.
Cuán hermosa es la ventana
que te permite mirar
y encontrarte cara a cara
la Torre que entra en la mar.
Mirar siempre al horizonte
te ayuda a caminar
y a encontrar el destino
que andando debes lograr.
Dame siempre una ventana
que me permita llegar
y encontrar siempre el sueño
al que me he de acercar.
No me des una ventana
de rejas y de castigo,
que quiero ver horizonte
y al mar siendo testigo.
Carlos Nuñez - Mar adentro.
This little sandpiper was not much larger than the pebble it was sitting next to . Knot can be spotted from August right round to May when they migrate to the Arctic where it breeds. A long-distance migrant, the Knot can travel up to 3,500 miles on one journey . Taken at Littlestone beach this little one looks like it had settled down for the night so I left it to it .
Montaigne rechaza la idea de normalidad en la naturaleza, pues a falta de criterios que nos permitan juzgar una norma, todo lo que existe es igual de monstruoso (un monstrum es lo que no tiene ningún lugar dentro del concepto de la naturaleza). El mundo es idiota, estúpido, simple, necio, no tiene finalidad ni causa, es ineludible, único, inexplicable, ilógico e intangible. El resultado es la inquietud intelectual. Guiados por el principio de realidad insuficiente somos presa de las tentaciones transcendentales. Dado que un objeto idiota no tiene nada que ofrecernos, dirigimos nuestros deseos hacia lo que no existe.
En sus intentos por explicar el mundo, los metafísicos recurren a principios tan poco realistas como la Idea, el Espíritu o el Alma Universal. Consideran el mundo como reflejo imperfecto de otro mundo. Gracias a esta duplicación, la existencia deja de ser gratuita y puede ser interpretada.
(...) El pilar oculto de los sistemas metafísicos es el fantasma de la naturaleza. Desde tiempos inmemorables, la naturaleza se ha contrastado, por un lado, con el azar y, por otro, con el artificio. La naturaleza se considera un sistema cerrado de causa y efecto, que responde a una necesidad biológica o espiritual. De este modo se mantiene a raya la idiotez desconcertante y se evita el miedo a los sucesos fortuitos. Es tranquilizador pensar que todo se basa en el orden y la necesidad.
(...) No son la naturaleza ni la cultura, sino la idiotez y la artificialidad las que rigen nuestra existencia. Por ello, los sofistas celebran la apariencia, el efecto y el momento.
(...) Los sofistas nos dicen que la vida es una sucesión de oportunidades excepcionales, que hay que aprovechar en cuanto se presentan. Abrazan la vida en toda su idiotez como una aventura en la que todo es posible. Les complace la inconstancia, la temporalidad y la fugacidad de la existencia. Para el improvisador, la vida es un permanente estado de excepción.
(Enciclopedia de la estupidez, págs. 223, 224 y 225) Matthijs van Boxsel
No sé si se puede llegar al Nirvana, pero en el Casco Antiguo de Vitoria-Gasteiz existen estructuras que, sin necesidad de meditación, ni de buscar la liberación de los deseos, te permiten alcanzar un nivel superior sin ningún esfuerzo.
Glencoe Lochan is a tract of forest located just north of Glencoe village in the Scottish Highlands. It was planted in the 1890s by Donald Alexander Smith, 1st Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal, with trees transplanted from the Pacific Northwest of Canada.
After acquiring the Glencoe Estate in 1895, Smith and his wife, Isabella Sophia Hardisty, moved from Canada to Scotland. Soon after their arrival, Isabella became increasingly homesick for her ancestral lands in Canada. In an attempt to abate his wife's depression, Smith had this forest painstakingly planted, and granted it to her as a private refuge.
The lochan is currently under the care of the Forestry Commission. There are trails around it and fishing for brown trout is possible with a permit purchased locally.

Lo habitual es sacar la siempre elegante Fritillaria lusitánica, con fondos y primeros planos verdes, de las praderas donde es habitual encontrarlas en primavera- Esta temporada la sequia nos ha traído consecuencias nefastas, pero para nuestra afición, también es una oportunidad de nuevas posibilidades fotográficas. En este caso el fondo desnudo de el suelo y el primer plano de la hierba seca, de la temporada anterior que aun perdura, nos permite un diferente escenario para la toma. saludos

The larger of our two seal species (UK), the face of a grey seal bobbing in the waves can be seen around the British shoreline but this is the first one I have seen haul it`s self out on to the beach at Littlestone . This large Bull soon slipped strongly back into the sea and away . Bull Grey seals can grow to well over 8.5 feet long and 500 pounds they seldom live to more than 25 years old.
As the weather warms here, the sunsets from my area start to get a little more drama in them ..
( and even more so with help from photoshop lol)
Thank you for taking the time to comment, time permitting I will always try to reciprocate with a visit back to your stream.
Happy Thursday to you !

En abril de 2008 se inauguró en el Paseo Marítimo de Santander, entre el monumento a los raqueros y el Club Marítimo, esta obra de la escultora local Gema Soldevilla en homenaje al poeta José Hierro, muy vinculado a la ciudad. La escultura recrea la cabeza de Hierro con una serie de paneles paralelos de acero corten de 2 m de alto que forman un cubo de 2 m de profundidad y otros 2 de anchura, sobre una base de hormigón cubierta de piedra en la que una placa permite leer su poema Junto al mar:
Si muero, que me pongan desnudo,
desnudo junto al mar.
Serán las aguas grises mi escudo
y no habrá que luchar

Forbidden City , Beijing , China
The Roofs and Eaves Decorations
One of the most beautiful parts of the Forbidden City’s architecture is its roofs and their eaves.
Yellow Tiles and Stately Roof Shapes
Only the imperial buildings of the Forbidden City were permitted to have yellow tiles: yellow was the emperor’s color.
The roof shape of the Forbidden City’s most important buildings also had significance. Double-eave hip roofs were the classiest roofs in the empire, reserved for the top imperial buildings.
Ever since 1853 the so-called Waterleidingduinen south of Zandvoort aan Zee have provided Amsterdam with clean and fresh drinking water. It's a large nature reserve and protected water harvesting area. But an inexpensive permit will allow you to walk here to admire its beauties.
