I posted a photo of this tree last week, from a viewpoint about 60 degrees to the right. Many people liked that shot, so I thought I'd give you all an alternate view, with colour this time, as Scot Howe suggested it might be nice in colour. Well, here ya go, Scot... I've desaturated it a touch in keeping with the mood -- both atmospheric and personal that day. Seen in Co. Mayo, Ireland.

Fábricas del amor.

 

Y construí tu rostro.

Con adivinaciones del amor, construía tu rostro

en los lejanos patios de la infancia.

Albañil con vergüenza,

yo me oculté del mundo para tallar tu imagen,

para darte la voz,

para poner dulzura en tu saliva.

Cuántas veces temblé

apenas si cubierto por la luz del verano

mientras te describía por mi sangre.

Pura mía,

estás hecha de cuántas estaciones

y tu gracia desciende como cuántos crepúsculos.

Cuántas de mis jornadas inventaron tus manos.

Qué infinito de besos contra la soledad

hunde tus pasos en el polvo.

Yo te oficié, te recité por los caminos,

escribí todos tus nombres al fondo de mi sombra,

te hice un sitio en mi lecho,

te amé, estela invisible, noche a noche.

Así fue que cantaron los silencios.

Años y años trabajé para hacerte

antes de oír un solo sonido de tu alma.

 

Juan Gelman.

El mes de las flores... no quería dejarlo pasar...

Siento llevar unos días sin pasar por vuestras galerías... unos pocos problemillas y mucho trabajo me lo han impedido... ya mismo lo estoy solucionando... je

 

BESOSSSSSSSS...

Achill Island, County Mayo, Ireland

 

These hardy creatures are found roaming all over Achill and are found in some pretty inaccessible places being almost as agile as goats.

 

They have these colour markings on the wool to signify that the sheep is part of a particular farmer's flock given that they are grazed on the commons which is nearly the whole island (even the local golf course!).

 

They are also pretty fearless and don't even blink at passing cars while resting on the side of the road. I am so used to slowing right down for sheep at home, it took a while to get used to seeing passing cars speeding past (or being in one!).

 

Also, given their ubiquity on the island, there is a bit of a need to tread carefully when walking across grassy meadows and fields!

 

According to what I was told, their wool is almost of no value but their meat is.

 

This is third third in the series that I am posting from my landscape photography workshop on Achill.

Thanks to Nigel for the title! Clochan Pier, Mayo, Ireland - A revised edit of a photo posted back in November. Matching my mood today; pulled a groin muscle yesterday, and I'm sore and cranky.

With water levels unusually low this summer, this lonely rock stands on what at first glance appears to be a sandy shore, but is actually a massive limestone slab. A harsh environment, but still beautiful.

Noss Mayo in the South Hams Devon is such a beautiful place even in grey overcast weather. On a personal note its nice to get back to my photography as I had not felt much like it since my mum sadly passed away in march this year.

Another frosty image from Co. Mayo, Ireland, but this time (obviously) in black and white. With the sun blocked my clouds, the festive frostiness takes a somber turn.

Fragmento de: La canción de Flor de Mayo

Autor: Amado Nervo

 

«¡No me dejes!», Yo le grito;

«¡No te vayas, dueño mío:

el espacio es infinito

y es muy negro y hace frío, mucho frío! »

 

Sin curarse de mi empeño,

Flor de Mayo se alejó,

y en la noche, como un sueño,

misteriosamente triste se perdió.

/

Excerpt from: The song of Flor de Mayo

Author: Amado Nervo

 

"Don't leave me!" I yell at him;

«Do not go, my owner:

space is infinite

and it's very black and it's cold, very cold! »

 

Without being cured of my determination,

Flor de Mayo walked away,

and at night, like a dream,

mysteriously sad she got lost.

 

What can I add? The photo says it all. Seen in rural County Mayo, Ireland.

Castlebar isn't known as a tourist destination, it's more of a workaday middle class city of no special interest to outsiders. On a nice day, with the right perspective, it's rather beautiful. This was taken from a hill about 8 KM away, looking west toward town.
