LA DOMINGA . Una vida sin tregua. Por AMPARO G. MARTINEZ- ARANDA
Photographed at La Minga Ecolodge near Cali in Valle del Cauca, Colombia, this juvenile Green Honeycreeper (Chlorophanes spiza) perched briefly on a pale branch, giving me just enough time to work with the soft forest light. The green plumage shows the early stages of its transition toward the brighter blue tones of an adult male, and the yellow along the bill stands out cleanly against the smooth background. The evenly diffused light helped maintain detail across the feathers while keeping the surroundings quiet and unobtrusive.
From a technical perspective, the scene required patience. The bird moved quickly between branches, so I focused on positioning and timing, waiting for a moment when it stepped into open light and held still. The long focal length created natural background separation, and the gentle tones of the forest helped build a balanced frame without distraction. For me, this image reflects how small shifts in light and posture can reveal the early stages of growth in a species that is often seen only in motion.

Before giving a description of this image, I will respectfully request that no comments be made about the rights and wrongs of climbing Uluru. I am presenting these images purely as a show of my own personal experience in visiting an incredible natural wonder of the world and I would prefer no debate about the climb. Thanks.
The word Minga can be quite a derogatory word around the world in various languages. Here the local aboriginals use the word to describe climbers on Uluru, and their translation literally means "ants"!
I was looking at other aspects of Uluru from different positions around the base, and suddenly came across this scene. Ants is a perfect description. This was taken not long after sunrise, which itself is an amazing experience. My next couple of images from here will show two sides of the sunrise at Uluru.

I know they are not my best photos but I want by this means to make known to all the victims of the permanent Colombian conflict threatened and victims of collective massacres.
Essen, Frohnhausen. Die ehemalige Fleischerei Minga. Später war hier der Imbiss Christos.
Die Szene erscheint mir wie ein Blick in eine Zukunft, in der der Fleichverzehr gesellschaftlich geächtet ist und die letzten Metzgereien Gefahr laufen, verwüstet zu werden.

The scene seems to me like a glimpse into a future in which meat consumption is socially outlawed and the last butcher shops are in danger of being devastated.
Minga de Tiradura de Casa
Minga is a rural tradition from Chiloé Archipelago (Chile) which means communal work. The most common task is moving a house from one place to another (which may involve a different island). The traditional way to move the house is using yoked oxen but in modern times they can be replaced with a tractor or a front-end loader.
The family provides food (curanto) for the workers who helped moving the house.
Esta foto se la dedico a Isabel, ya que me pidio una foto de familia y es lo más parecido que he conseguido.
No son todas las que están, pero sí son la gran mayoría :)
Las minguitas os mandan besitos y un poquito de aire fresco, que con el calor que hace nunca está de más... n_n

Help us make ourselves visible internationally. They're killing them!
