The Split that is upstream from the main chamber of the ANZAC storm water drain. Next time we will have to venture up the tunnel on the left side to see where it leads. The right side tunnel is very low and you would have to crawl through it..no thanks!

davanti il prospetto ottocentesco del Convitto Nazionale.
Nei primi anni del 2000 uno scavo archeologico portò alla luce resti di edifici di età romana,
collocabili tra il I ed il II Secolo d. c., che la Sovrintendenza dei Beni culturali si affrettò a proteggere perimetrandola con una staccionata in legno. Negli anni la staccionata si è deteriorata e oggi nel 2013 l’area archeologica punico - romana è diventata una discarica piena di rifiuti.

Nikon D80 - Hoya R72 IR Filter
I have made a few saturation and contrast changes based upon test prints and feedback from other artist/photographers. My goal is to get a closer print color match for all of the images in the infrared series. I will be adding new photos into the series soon but this is the final round of updates I will be making to the past infrared collection. The print collection will be shown at several Seattle locations in the next few months.
All of my infrared images are captured using a Nikon D80 and a Hoya R72 IR Filter.
Thanks to everyone for all of the comments and feedback on this series. Prints are available for purchase - send me an email for more information

This Wayside Shrine - in Austria called "Marterl" - is located in Obernberg, Tirol, Austria on the hiking trail to the Lake Obernbergersee. This Shrine should remind the pedestrian to make a quiet pray or put some flowers or a candle into the Shrine. The style, this "Marterl" is built, is typical for Tirol, Austria - Bayern, Germany and Alto Adige, Italy. In other parts of Austria they are built in another style. So this is very unique and beautiful to look at. Most of the "Marterlen" here in Tirol are in a very good condition and they are mostly filled with flowers or candles.
Shot was taken shortly before sunset - as you may see, the sunlight comes from left behind. It was a wonderful and magic moment for a shot. Luckily I had my camera with me...
Comments are very welcome... 8-)

Cette année, j'ai eu la chance, à l'occasion du brame du cerf, de rencontrer cet animal à l'approche très difficile pour le photographe, en particulier.
En effet, le cerf ne pointe le museau dehors qu'au lever du jour ou à la tombée de la nuit; au moment où la lumière est très faible, de plus il s'expose très peu de temps , a un odorat très puissant qu'il est difficile de tromper.
Pas facile dans ces conditions d'obtenir de bons clichés. Souvent, je suis revenu bredouille, mais quand même j'y suis retourné avec l'espoir d'avoir un peu plus de chance.
J'y retournerai l'annèe prochaine, un peu plus aguerri peut-être.
This year, I had the chance, at the call of the deer, meet the animal to approach very difficult for the photographer in particular.
Indeed, the deer does not point out the muzzle at daybreak or dusk, when the light is very low, the more it exposes a very short time, has a very strong smell that it is difficult to deceive.
Not easy in these conditions to get good shots. Often, I returned empty-handed, but still I went back hoping to have a bit more luck.
I will return next of year, a little more seasoned, perhaps.
Este año, tuve la oportunidad, a la llamada de los ciervos, conocer al animal a acercarse muy difícil para el fotógrafo en particular.
En efecto, el venado no señala el hocico al amanecer o al atardecer, cuando la luz es muy baja, más se expone a un tiempo muy corto, tiene un olor muy fuerte que es difícil de engañar.
No es fácil en estas condiciones para obtener buenas tomas. A menudo, volví con las manos vacías, pero aún así me volvió la esperanza de tener suerte un poco más.
Voy a volver al lado de año, un poco más experimentado, tal vez.
Este ano, tive a oportunidade, ao chamado do cervo, conhecer o animal se aproximar muito difícil para o fotógrafo em particular.
Na verdade, o veado não apontar o focinho ao amanhecer ou ao anoitecer, quando a luz é muito baixa, mais ele expõe um tempo muito curto, tem um cheiro muito forte de que é difícil de enganar.
Não é fácil, nestas condições, para obter boas fotos. Muitas vezes, voltei de mãos vazias, mas ainda voltei com a esperança de ter um pouco mais de sorte.
Voltarei próximo do ano, um pouco mais experiente, talvez.
Bonne journée à tous. merci pour vos visites et commentaires.
Have a nice day. Thanks for your visits and comments.
Buenos días a todos. gracias por sus visitas y comentarios.
Sebbene le origini di Portovenere vengano fatte risalire al VI secolo a. C., quando nel sito fu edificato un tempio dedicato al culto della dea Venere, la storia vera e propria del borgo risale alla prima metà del XII secolo, quando la Repubblica costruì un Castrum vetus sulla punta San Pietro, all'estremità occidentale della baia.
Quel primo insediamento fu racchiuso da una muraglia che dalla chiesa di San Pietro arrivava a proteggere l'intera area del borgo antico.
La chiesa di San Pietro fu eretta tra il 1256 e il 1277, in segno di ringraziamento per la vittoria sui Pisani, in suggestiva posizione prominente sul promontorio.
Fu costruita sui ruderi di una pieve paleo-cristiana, a sua volta innalzata sui resti di un tempio pagano, dedicato a Venere, di cui le tracce sono state trovate sotto l'impianto duecentesco.
Si compone di due corpi separati, di cui il più grande è munito di campanile con bifore ed è rivestito dal tipico paramento a pietre alterne bianche e nere.
Sul pianoro alle spalle della chiesa sopravvivono i resti di due corpi cilindrici che probabilmente erano mulini con funzioni di avvistamento, come se ne trovano di frequente lungo le Riviere.
Edinburgh, Scotland
The Old Town of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has preserved its medieval plan and many Reformation-era buildings.
One end is closed by the castle and the main artery, the Royal Mile, actually made up of four distinct streets named Castlehill, the Lawnmarket, the High Street and the Canongate, leads away from it, down to the now-ruined Holyrood Abbey. Narrow closes (alleyways), often no more than a few feet wide, lead downhill on either side of the main spine in a herringbone pattern.
The topography for the city is known as "crag and tail" and was created during the last ice age when receding glaciers scored across the land pushing soft soil aside but being split by harder crags of volcanic rock. The hilltop crag was the earliest part of the city to develop, becoming fortified and eventually developing into the current Edinburgh Castle. The rest of the city grew slowly down the tail of land from the Castle Rock. This was an easily defended spot with marshland on the south and a loch, the Nor Loch, on the north. Access up the main road to the settlement was therefore restricted by means of various gates and a City Wall, of which only fragmentary sections remain (see Flodden Wall).
Due to the space restrictions imposed by the narrowness, the Old Town became home to some of the earliest "high rise" residential buildings. Multi-story dwellings were the norm from the 1500s onwards. During the 1700s the Old Town had a population of about 80,000 residents. However, in more modern times it had declined dramatically to just 4,000 residents. There are currently approximately 20,000 residents in the various parts of the Old Town. As the population was for a long time reluctant to build outside the defensive wall, the need for housing grew and hence the buildings became higher and higher.

My wife and I went on a no destination bike ride last weekend. We felt like kids just riding our bikes around aimlessly and one of the places we ended up is a garden we hadn't been to in over 10 years. She read a book by the pond while I ran around with my new camera chasing dragon flies. Can't think of a better way to totally clear my head of all the work stuff that seems to consume my life right now.
Super busy with work right now, so I apologize in advance if it takes me a while to get to your photostream =(

Acacia dealbata é uma espécie de árvore nativa da Austrália. Tem crescimento rápido, desenvolvendo-se rapidamente depois dos fogos. Não vive normalmente mais do que 30 a 40 anos, ao fim dos quais é substituída por outras. É conhecida vulgarmente como mimosa, no entanto não pertence ao género Mimosa.
Devido à facilidade de propagação e resistência, é uma espécie invasora em muitos habitats.
pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_dealbata
Acacia dealbata (Silver Wattle) is a species of Acacia, native to southeastern Australia in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory.[1]
It is a fast growing evergreen tree or shrub growing up to 30 m tall, typically a pioneer species after fire. The leaves are bipinnate, glaucous blue-green to silvery grey, 1–12 cm (occasionally to 17 cm) long and 1–11 cm broad, with 6–30 pairs of pinnae, each pinna divided into 10–68 pairs of leaflets; the leaflets are 0.7–6 mm long and 0.4–1 mm broad. The flowers are produced in large racemose inflorescences made up of numerous smaller globose bright yellow flowerheads of 13–42 individual flowers. The fruit is a flattened pod 2–11.5 cm long and 6–14 mm broad, containing several seeds.[2] Trees generally do not live longer than 30 to 40 years, after which in the wild they are succeeded by other species where bushfires are excluded.

Der Aussichtsturm in Dürrenmettstetten ist ein inzwischen auch überregional sehr bekannter Aussichtsturm am Rande des Schwarzwalds, ähnlich dem Vogteiturm in Loßburg.
Er wurde 1998 von den Natur- und Wanderfreunden Dürrenmettstetten mit viel Eigenleistung und Spenden errichtet. Der Standpunkt des Turms ist genau 676 Meter über NN und mit einer Turmhöhe von 24 Metern befindet sich die Aussichtsplattform genau auf 700 Meter über NN.
Schon aus der Weite ist der imposante Turm auf dem Höhenplateau zwischen Oberiflingen und Dürrenmettstetten zu sehen.
Um so weiter ist jedoch die Sicht auf dem Turm, welcher ein lückenloses 360° Panorama ermöglicht!
Dabei reicht die Sicht vom Heckengäu über den Schönbuch bis nach Tübingen. Hier folgt das Panorama der Achalm (707 Meter über NN) bei Reutlingen in Richtung des Albtrauf der schwäbischen Alb. Über den Blick auf die Burg Hohenzollern geht es weiter in Richtung des Plettenbergs bei Balingen. Von hier aus ist bei sehr guter Sicht auch das Panorama der Alpen in der Zentralschweiz sichtbar. Über den Verlauf des Neckartals geht es dann weiter Richtung Südschwarzwald, wo unter anderem bei guter Sicht der Feldbergturm gut erkennbar ist. Dazwischen ist bei sehr guten Sichtverhältnissen der Blick auf das Berner Oberland mit den bekannten Gipfeln Mönch und Jungfrau gegeben. Das letzte Stück des Panoramas folgt vom Südschwarzwals in Richtung Nordschwarzwald. Hier ist unter anderem Freudenstadt erkennbar und ein Stück weiter der Gipfelrücken der Hornisgrinde mit Aussichtsturm.
Das gesamte Panorama (inklusive markanter Orientierungspunkten) wird über vier Aussichtstafeln beschrieben.
Wer mehr zum Turmbau und dessen Entstehung auch in Bildern erfahren möchte, kann dies auf der Homepage der Natur- und Wanderfreunde Dürrenmettstetten tun.
This is Fluorite from Dal'negorsk (Дальнегорск), Russia at the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show.
www.mindat.org/locentries.php?p=2635&m=1576
A famous mining region centered on the city of Dalnegorsk in eastern Russia, 300 km northeast of Vladivostok. The name "Tetyukhe" or "Tetjuche" (meaning "valley of the wild pigs") is the old Chinese name for Dalnegorsk and can be encountered on a few old mineral labels.
The Verkhnee deposit was first developed in 1912. Boron mineralization was prospected in 1945.
The region comprises 9 different deposits.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorite
"Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, CaF2. It belongs to the halide minerals. It crystallizes in isometric cubic habit, although octahedral and more complex isometric forms are not uncommon.
Pure fluorite is colourless and transparent, both in visible and ultraviolet light, but impurities usually make it a colorful mineral and the stone has ornamental and lapidary uses. Industrially, fluorite is used as a flux for smelting, and in the production of certain glasses and enamels. The purest grades of fluorite are a source of fluoride for hydrofluoric acid manufacture, which is the intermediate source of most fluorine-containing fine chemicals. Optically clear transparent fluorite has anomalous partial dispersion, that is, its refractive index varies with the wavelength of light in a manner that differs from that of commonly used glasses, so fluorite is useful in making apochromatic lenses, and particularly valuable in photographic optics. Fluorite optics are also usable in the far-ultraviolet and mid-infrared ranges, where conventional glasses are too opaque for use. Fluorite also has low dispersion, and a high refractive index for its density."
www.visittucson.org/tucson-gem-mineral-fossil-showcase/
"Every year the world-renowned Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase is like a time portal, a trip around the world, and a treasure hunt all rolled into one. Every winter, more than 65,000 guests from around the globe descend upon Tucson, AZ, to buy, sell, trade, and bear witness to rare and enchanting gems, minerals, and fossils at more than 50 gem show locations across the city. If you're planning a winter visit to Tucson, you won't want to miss this three-week-long event filled with shows, related events, a free day at the gem & mineral museum, and much, much more!
"Whether you’re looking for a $5 shimmering crystal necklace or a show-stopping $200,000 crystallized rock from an exotic location, the Tucson Gem, Mineral, & Fossil Shows have something for everyone."

Seen best when Viewed Large On Black
A resort about 2 hours south of Manila. Yesterday, we left at about 0815 and arrived at the venue at about 1430 or approximately 6 freaking hours! There was a vehicular accident in Calamba, Laguna the previous night and it was not yet resolved by the time we passed by.
As we did not have any previous reservation, and only got the name of this resort from one of our passengers, we did not know what to expect. We did not want to go home empty handed after what we have been through that we were willing to settle for anything just as long as we can shoot. And to our delight, the beach front and the landscape of this resort was majestic. Certainly, we saw the Light!
We left the resort at about 2130, exhausted and hungry. We were back in Manila at about 1230 in the morning.
An exhausting but fulflling 18 hour travel and shoot day!
Going out the whole day.. Will catch up tonight. Thanks for your understanding.

I arrived early in Yosemite Valley one day and made my way down a muddy
trail to the shores of the Merced River and was treated to the light from
the rising sun breaking over the east end of the valley. Fog rose off the
Valley floor and I snapped off this shot at the base of El Capitan.

ReaD MY MeSSaGe !!!
Hi, my friends
It is time to announce that I will delete from now on all comments with graphics in it.
I decided to stop the group thing because in my opinion, nobody is commenting in those groups and therefore the groups are here.
The most groups, where we need invites to post have themes, but where are the themes or the comment to the quality for a group?
Hm?
Also I was informed that only a single invite per person is allowed.
When you do 2 invites in one comment, it could be that the shot will be deleted from the groups pool.
So my decision, no more graphic invites.
You can invite my picture to groups by admin invite, if you are admin in a group, so I can be sure, I will be not deleted because of anything.
I am admin in nearly 40 groups, I will do the same.
Hope you respect this fact and understand
Thank you all for your constructive comments in the future
Wish you all a wonderful Sunday
From the bottom of my heart…………..

As I come to the end of my Ol Tukai Elephant series I am posting one of the most serene photos I took there. There are few things more adorable and heart breaking than a baby elephant following its mummy. Don’t you guys think so? I saw loads of such examples in Amboseli; little ones following the elders in their herd, knowing that one day they would have to stop being innocent calves and be an adult elephant in a perilous world. If they are bulls, they have to be out in the world on their own. If they are females, they have to care for each other and seize the best opportunities for finding food, water and mud! And all this amidst an ever increasing threat from the biggest enemy of wildlife out there; humans.
But there is time for that, today is just about enjoying a sunny afternoon in the savannah.

Scabiosa atropurpurea L
Esta planta vulgarmente conhecida pelos nomes de Saudades, Saudades-roxas, Escabiosa-dos-jardins e Saudade-dos-jardins, entre outros, com o nome científico de Scabiosa atropurpurea L. (e sin: Scabiosa atropurpurea L. var. villosa (Coss.) Franco; Scabiosa maritima L.; Scabiosa maritima L. var. amansii Rouy; Sixalix atropurpurea (L.) Greuter et Burdet; Sixalix atropurpurea (L.) Greuter et Burdet subsp. maritima (L.) Greuter et Burdet) tem a sua distribuição confinada à Região Mediterrânica e à Macaronésia, com exclusão de Cabo Verde. Em Portugal distribui-se pelas regiões Centro e Sul do país, surgindo espontaneamente em terrenos incultos e à beira de estradas e de caminhos, em zonas com alguma humidade. Também é cultivada como planta ornamental.
As the day comes to a close, the Old Port in Dubrovnik comes alive. See below for more sunset images captured earlier on a sunset dinner cruise on the Adriatic Sea.
The fortress of Sv. Ivan (St. John) also called Mulo Tower, is [a] monumental building on the south-eastern side of the Old City Port, controlling and protecting its entrance. The first fort of this complex was built in the 14th century and then extended and modified in the 15th and 16th centuries. The present look of the fortress dates from the 16th century and is [the] work of the local builder Paskoje Milièeviæ. This large building, with many gun ports for its primary function, houses today the Maritime Museum and the Aquarium.

Marcel Proust
Mi hanno letteralmente incastrato per cui...
1)Nato il 27-11-1969
2)Amo tutti gli sport in particolare il motocross,il rally e l'hokey su ghiaccio in quanto li praticavo
3)Odio l'opportunismo e le mezze misure
4)Ho il difetto di dirla tutta a costo di farmi odiare
5)Odio il pesce nella fattispecie aragoste, granchi e gamberoni. Non ho pazienza, se me li presentate in un piatto facile che volano via, o vado via io.
6)I miei hobby sono la fotografia,il disegno,la pittura ed i videogiochi. (quelli della serie prima tiri una bomba nella stanza e poi entri con un mitra a finire i superstiti)
7)Anche se sò di essere un orso grigio non sopporto di far male nemmeno ad una mosca
8)Mi piace viaggiare indistintamente per lavoro o per piacere
9)Non sono sposato ma convivo con una (santa) brava persona
10) Non mi lavo da quando ho scoperto che tale cosa è una perdita di tempo e tale tempo posso impiegarlo a fotografare
11)Il mio colore preferito è il nero e blu
12) Odio gli architetti in particolare quello che mi ha incastrato in questa faccenda dei 16 punti
13) Se avessi una bacchetta magica fornirei il mondo di cibo e acqua. Non la ho per cui rimango a guardare le fattorie che sono costrette a buttare il latte in più e non lo possono nemmeno regalare a chi non ne ha. [....]
14) quello che pensano di me gli altri mi è assolutamente indifferente. In breve, non me ne frega niente!
15)Odio i leccaculo, li prenderei a sprangate.
16) Mi rendo conto che in fondo chi sono non lo so nemmeno io per cui mi riservo la facoltà di cambiare qualsiasi dei precedenti punti nel caso ve ne fosse bisogno!
Passo la palla a Mario M, Daniele, Massimo (granmadue) giusto perché sono quelli che mi stanno di più nelle scatole!

Dune di Lancelin - Western Australia
Lancelin Dunes- Western Australia
Lancelin is small sea side town about 130km North of Perth,famous for it’s sand dunes, which are mainly used for off roading activities.
The area was initially a holiday camping place through the 1940s and holiday shacks were probably built in the area during this time but interest in the area grew as it was designated as a possible port to be utilised by the crayfish, or lobster fishery.
The town has a permanent population of over 600, and swells to 2,500 during the peak holiday period around Christmas - New Year.
Kitesurfing and windsurfing are popular in the ocean off Lancelin, as are sandboarding and 4-wheel driving on the beaches and in the dunes behind the town.
Lancelin è una piccola cttà costiera a circa 130 KM da Perth, famosa per l sue dune di sabbia bianca che sono la principale destinazione di molte attività “Off-road”.
Fin dal 1940 tutta l’area fu utilizzata come enorme campeggio per le vacanze ma in seguito l’interesse crebbe quando fu designata come un possibile porto utilizzabile dai pescatori di granhi e di aragoste.
La cittadina ha una popolazione di 600 abitanti che diventano 2500 durante le vacanze tra Natale e Capodanno.
Il kite e l’windsurf sono attività molto popolari nelle acque oceaniche di Lancelin come le escursioni in 4x4 sulle spiagge e sulle dune (Sic!) intorno alla cittadina.
Spooky is a creation of Jhonen Vasquez. The toy can be purchased at www.slavelabor.com/product-exec/product_id/264/nm/Spooky_... (if they ever get more in stock)
I made this wallpaper half out of boredom, half as a class assignment for packaging design. I recreated the box for Spooky, and this was on of the side panels.

[Català] Aquestes torres es van començar a aixecar a partir de 1928 segons un projecte de l'arquitecte Ramon Reventós i Farrarons, qui també va participar en els projectes del Teatre Grec i del Poble Espanyol, ambdós inclosos en el projecte de l'Exposició. Es troben emplaçades entre les dues grans columnates que tanquen la plaça Espanya i el Palau Tèxtil i el Palau de Comunicacions i Transports. Es van servir com model del campanar de la catedral de San Marcos de Venècia, d'on prenen el nom de Torres “Venecianes” com les hi coneix popularment.

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
All of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
They don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
It's true...I was made for you
I will be leaving to visit a relative of mine this coming weekend. Will be back by end of next week. See you around in your photostreams =)
We had a plan to visit the Kambala event this weekend, but it has been canceled due to some unfortunate circumstances. It happens you see. I have been posting black and white pictures in 2010 till now, so thought will post a color one for a change. Also it looked like a picture for the Valentines day. Its not often that we react for some ones pain instantly, we smile for some ones success instantly, the instant reaction happens when something happens to us, because we know what we have gone through to get to that point, so if some one reacts to your feelings, then it clearly shows they live in a different body but still they breath for you when you need it, they smile for you when you feel it, they cry for you when you are in pain, they fight for you when you are down. Such is the power of the emotion called love. It cannot be explained, at some point it may even look insane. But that's how it has been designed. Wish you all a happy Valentine's day.Thanks for all your views, comments and favs
பொக்கிஷமாய் மாறிப்போன அழுக்கேறிய அவளின் பள்ளிக்காலத்து புகைப்படம்,
"என்ன சொல்ல, நீ சொல்லு", "அப்புறம்" என்றபடி ஏதுமே சொல்லாமல் மணிக்கணக்காய்த் தொடர்ந்த உரையாடல்கள்,
ஏதும் பேசாமல் மௌனமாய்க் கரைந்து போன அந்த முதல் சந்திப்பு,
அவள் சிந்திவிட்டுப் போன புன்னகையை நினைத்தபடியே விழித்திருந்த இரவுகள்,
8 எழுத்துப் பிழைகளும் ஒரு மாற்றிவைக்கப்பட்ட ஒற்றுப்புள்ளியோடு அவளுக்கு எழுதிய முதல் கடிதம்,
பயணத்தில் தோள் சாய்ந்து உறங்கையில் அவள் நெற்றிக் குங்குமத்தால் கறையாகிப்போன அந்த நீலச்சட்டை,
புத்தகங்களுக்கூடே என்றோ ஒரு நாள் தூக்கிப் போடச் சொல்லி அவள் கொடுத்த வாடிப்போன பூக்கள்,
காதலுக்கு அடையாளமாகிப் போன எத்தனையோ இதயங்களுக்குள்,
எனக்காக துடிக்கும் ஒரு இதயத்துக்காக நான் சேமித்த வைத்திருக்கும் எனக்கான அடையாளங்கள் இவை.

Last January 24 we headed into Grand Ledge to meet our friends at Toad's Coffeehouse. As Joan drove down highway M-43 I dug out my camera and took pix of the fog and the scenery. (I do this to her regularly.)
All the day's pix were versions of photographs I'd taken before, as we've traveled those eight miles thousands of times. That said, this is the best image I've ever managed of that barn. And the photo I posted a year ago, of the state highway and the highway's sign, is one of my favorites. The framing there is odd, but it came out well.
==========
My Olympus E-M1 Mk II has been my "good" camera for a bit over seven years, now. The 12-40 f/2.8 lens I carried last January was part of the original purchase. It's an excellent lens, the one I mount when I know my first concern is a sharp photo.

Hablo de una traición, hablo de un místico embaucar...
Recuerdo. Una noche de gritos. Yo subía y no tenía posibilidad de arrepentirme; subía cada vez más alto sin saber si llegaría a un encuentro de fusión o si me quedaría toda la vida con la cabeza clavada en un poste. Era como tragar olas de silencio, mis labios se movían como debajo del agua, me ahogaba, era como si estuviera tragando silencio. En mí éramos yo y el silencio. Esa noche me arrojé desde la torre más alta. Y cuando estuvimos en lo alto de la ola, supe que eso era lo mío, y aun lo que he buscado en los poemas, en los cuadros, en la música, era un ser llevado a lo alto de la ola...
Crea un silencio en el que yo reconozca mi lugar de reposo cuando la prueba de fuego de su afección tuvo que haber sido mantenerme lejos del silencio, tuvo que haber sido vedarme el acceso a esa zona de silencio exterminador.
Comprendo, de nada sirve comprender, a nadie nunca le ha servido comprender, y sé que ahora necesito remontarme a la raíz de esa fascinación silenciosa, de esa oquedad que se abre para que yo entre, yo el holocausto, yo la víctima propiciatoria. Su persona es menos que un fantasma, que un nombre, que vacío. Alguien me bebe desde la otra orilla, alguien me succiona, me abandona exangüe. Estoy muriendo porque alguien ha creado un silencio para mí...
No obstante, si no existiera esta correspondencia vampírica, me moriría de falta de una correspondencia así. Alguien que amé en otra vida, en ninguna vida, en todas las vidas. Alguien a quien amar desde mi lugar de reminiscencias, a quien ofrendarme, a quien sacrificarme como si con ello cumpliera una justa devolución o restableciera el equilibrio cósmico.
Su silencio es un útero, es la muerte. Una noche soñé una carta cubierta de sangre y heces; era en un páramo y la carta gemía como un gato. No. Voy a romper el hechizo. Voy a escribir como llora un niño, es decir: no llora porque esté triste sino que llora para informar, tranquilamente.
