The Siren of the Seas is a fickle creature: benevolent or spiteful, she can bestow a safe passage & a bountiful catch, or provoke storms & shipwrecks. Sailors have long cast gifts of flowers, food or trinkets into the sea in exchange for good fortune. Talisman – a delicately dry-hopped & golden-hued ale with its tropical & citrusy aroma – may be just the thing to encourage the Siren’s blessing.

Barbie trekked a long way into the forest to buy the talisman from the witch to find her true love.
I have been collecting things for this shot since the beginning of October. It just didn't come together like I envisioned. I wish the glow from the opened glowsticks I poured into the cauldron had shown up better. It is what it is I suppose. They can't all be masterpieces.

Dícese de talismán de "algo" que protege y da suerte al que lo posee, y no, como alguno podría pensar, de que estamos hablando de un hombre de Talis. Bueno, igual el maqui sí era de Talis y le podría valer...
La cuestión es que la parienta, la semana pasada, me recriminó que yo me iba a hacer fotos y nunca la sacaba ningún sitio, algo falso y que seguro muchos de nosotros hemos tenido que oír.
Pues nada. "¿Y porque no te vienes conmigo de trenes?" Va y acepta. Fue con la respuesta cuando mi mente comenzó a trazar el plan. "¿Te parece bien el miércoles a mediodía y comemos en el campo?". Joder, va y acepta. Pues nada, la cosa estaba en marcha...
¿Y porqué el miércoles? Pues porque yendo más allá de Sagunto podría hacer un tren al que tenía muchas ganas y de los pocos siderúrgicos que me faltaba: el Rail Sider Sagunto - Castellbisbal.
Ni por un momento dudé de que lo haría y que no habría Murphy capaz de fastidiarme la tarde debido al efecto de mi talismán particular, el de mi esposa, ya que siempre que me ha acompañado la cosa ha ido sobre ruedas, salvo muy contadísimas excepciones. De hecho este miércoles me llevé también a la saca el balastero que se me negó el lunes anterior. Y dos Talgos, uno de ellos con la 252-070. Y una doble de 447, hecha por hacer. Y dos 130, si bien no tiene mérito. Y una 470. Casi dos horas muy fructíferas, sin duda...
La foto está hecha a la salida (que no es una mujer cachonda) de Sagunto dirección Castellón.
Tachado de la lista, aunque me dejaré pendiente del que baja los martes que tiene mejor luz. Particularmente me parece canela fina...

Small Maneki-neko pencil topper erasers.
The maneki-neko (Japanese: 招き猫, literally "beckoning cat") is a common Japanese figurine (lucky charm, talisman) which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. In modern times, they are usually made of ceramic or plastic. The figurine depicts a cat (traditionally a calico Japanese Bobtail) beckoning with an upright paw, and is usually displayed in—often at the entrance of—shops, restaurants, pachinko parlors, and other businesses.
Maneki-neko comes in different colours, styles and degrees of ornateness. Common colours are white, black, gold and sometimes red.
It is also sometimes called the "Chinese lucky cat" due to its popularity among Chinese merchants.

This is just a gold-painted decoration on an elegant wrought iron fence. But somehow, in beautiful late-afternoon October light, it looks like it could be some kind of talisman (a magical object providing protection against ill will, or the supernatural.) I suppose the deep shadow background and the angle at which I took the photo are part of the effect.
Location: Front porch fence, The Villa at Wenken Park, Riehen BS Switzerland.
