An image characteristic about a city in quarantine, not psycho like someone told, but a city hit by economic crisis. So wandering around the streets, you could see discarded equipment from closed clothing stores, surrounded by favorite animals!
Rain turns the sand into mud
Wind turns the trees into bone
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into somebody loved

Found this mysterious object on a rocky beach in the Azores - brick mashed into stone, worn by the sea into a smooth triangle? No idea what this is, sort of wish I’d brought it home.
The dream I had / had to be fixed / or else / the occupants would fly / and the words / would become too loose.

On the road from Avetrana to Manduria, we stopped at the church of San Pietro, near the beach. The beach was practically deserted; it was clearly no longer peak season. The temperature during this period was around 25 degrees Celsius.
Across the main street from the church is a place where you can enjoy delicious ice cream.
We then continued along the coastline with views of the beautiful beaches. We reached Marina di Maruggio, where we turned off to Manduria.
Some say / I should creates larger artworks. // Now, this is large enough / not to say / one size fits all.
It started by a pick
of very average
art.
After the act of erasion,
and the addition of
new paint, plus
a minor quantity of
iron wire mesh,
and used-up cutting
disc.
this became
a day at the zoo

While walking a bit in the park I saw something blinking hanging in a bush near the path. I had a closer view and found this pacifier someone may have found and put it at this place. I tried a look through my cam and found it looked somehow amazig. This is the small story of this photo. 😄

On the outskirts of an industrial estate bordering the mountain town of Ibi (interior of Alicante province in SE Spain),the accumulated wreckage of domestic and mechanical life sits solidly against a facade of pale stucco and blue industrial columns.
The colour version of this picture shows how the ferrous stack forms an accidental monument. A cast-iron bathtub, still white, lies tilted among bent scaffolding, rusted drums, and the stripped viscera of engines and objects that once served, now rendered mute.
The pile evokes the Roman concept of the rudera, the rubble of fallen buildings repurposed as foundation for new construction, though here no new construction seems imminent. Hopper might have found loneliness in a diner window; de Chirico might have found dread in an empty piazza. This image finds something quieter still: the democracy of obsolescence.
