An exstinguished sun in a solar system of cold rocks, a crab shell castaway finds a quiet place to wait until his story is found and some day rescued.
Alfonsina Y El Mar
Mercedes Sosa
Composição: Ariel Ramirez / Felix Luna
Por la blanda arena
Que lame el mar
Su pequeña huella
No vuelve más
Un sendero solo
De pena y silencio llegó
Hasta el agua profunda
Un sendero solo
De penas mudas llegó
Hasta la espuma.
Sabe Dios qué angustia
Te acompañó
Qué dolores viejos
Calló tu voz
Para recostarte
Arrullada en el canto
De las caracolas marinas
La canción que canta
En el fondo oscuro del mar
La caracola.
Te vas Alfonsina
Con tu soledad
¿Qué poemas nuevos
Fuíste a buscar?
Una voz antigüa
De viento y de sal
Te requiebra el alma
Y la está llevando
Y te vas hacia allá
Como en sueños
Dormida, Alfonsina
Vestida de mar.
Cinco sirenitas
Te llevarán
Por caminos de algas
Y de coral
Y fosforescentes
Caballos marinos harán
Una ronda a tu lado
Y los habitantes
Del agua van a jugar
Pronto a tu lado.
Bájame la lámpara
Un poco más
Déjame que duerma
Nodriza, en paz
Y si llama él
No le digas que estoy
Dile que Alfonsina no vuelve
Y si llama él
No le digas nunca que estoy
Di que me he ido.
Te vas Alfonsina
Con tu soledad
¿Qué poemas nuevos
Fueste a buscar?
Una voz antigua
De viento y de sal
Te requiebra el alma
Y la está llevando
Y te vas hacia allá
Como en sueños
Dormida, Alfonsina
Vestida de mar.
As seen at Wirral Transport Museum. This immediately took me back to my Rochdale childhood on the mid 1960's because I recall petrol pumps like this where my old Dad always bought his petrol for our Morris Traveller. I think the garage was in Water Street but I could be wrong. He worked just around the corner from there in Drake Street managing the Town's Thomas Cook travel agency. I used to love watching the dials go around on the old pumps.
A mussel shell on which seaweed has grown that suggests the pareidolia profile portrait of an animal like a sheep.
Part of Savannah, Georgia's rich texture - sidewalks along the river front are composed of tabby - a blend of oyster shells, lime and sand.
The second day we were on the island our friend Lisa invited us to her birthday party. It was great fun!!! All the 'transplants' got together in one place and what an opportunity to connect.
The cool thing is I was a bit sad that I wouldn't be able to have a party for my fiftieth (yes you read that right... it just seem younger!!!) and it turns out that Lisa and I had our birthday on the same day. (we celebrated early..both born on the first of Oct) So.. I got my party!! How cool is that? If you think that God doesn't care about the smallest details in your life.. think again!
This is a ceiling fan with some cool little scallop shells. (yes Wilson had to stay home!)
This is the same shell that I photographed a couple of days ago, and posted on Flickr. For that image I laid it flat and lit it from the side so that I could reveal the shapes and textures. You can see that version of the shell down below in the first comment.
For this version I wanted to show the translucent quality of the shell, and make it glow, by using back lighting. I propped the shell up by leaning it up against a clear glass shot glass. Lighting came from a YN560-II in a Rogue grid behind the shell, and slightly to camera right. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I have photographed quite a few shells over the years, and if you like this sort of thing, they're in my creatively named Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290
Das Shell-Haus ist ein fünf- bis zehngeschossiger Bau am Landwehrkanal im Berliner Ortsteil Tiergarten am Reichpietschufer 60–62, direkt an der Ecke zur Stauffenbergstraße unweit des Kulturforums. Das unter Denkmalschutz stehende Bürohaus wurde nach einem Entwurf des Architekten Emil Fahrenkamp von 1930 bis 1932 an der damaligen Königin-Augusta-Straße (ab 1933 Tirpitzufer, seit 1947 Reichpietschufer) für die Hamburger Rhenania-Ossag Mineralölwerke AG (ab 1947 Deutsche Shell AG) errichtet. Fahrenkamp erhielt 1929 den ersten Platz im Wettbewerb zum Bau des Hauses, an dem fünf Architekten teilnahmen. Seit 2012 ist es neben dem Bendlerblock ein Teil des Berliner Dienstsitzes des Bundesministeriums der Verteidigung.
