Sunpixx, this has been a popular photo. This cropped portion was one of 300 pictures I took in about 30 minutes. I would love to say I took only one. Best wishes from northern England, Bob
Excelente composición..!!! Mi imaginación se remonta al siglo 19 cuando en medio de intensos fríos y grandes borrascas marinas en la sueña tierra del fin del mundo (Isla de los Estados-Argentina) discurrían tensos y grises fríos, inviernos agrestes y crueles, bajo los cuales los prisioneros, se hablandaban, cambiaban su temple de acero por un carisma de compañerismo y ese faro del fin del mundo, recibía el impacto minutos tras minuto de las olas incesantes del brioso océano atlántico.
Esta fotografía me trae recuerdos imborrables, de seres oscos, herrabundos y hostiles quer terminaban sus días y vidas en la prisión más cruel del hemisferio sur, la del fin del mundo.
Mis felicitaciones por cautivar un momento unico, invalorable y mostrar la crudeza del impetuoso océano.
Cuando descubrí esta foto, dejé un breve comentario porque el idioma del autor, Bob, no es el mío y decir mucho, podía causar enredos en las expresiones....pero miro la foto con frecuencia y la asocio siempre con un poema hermosísimo de Alfonsina Storni...dejaré un fragmento de él, aunque no sepa traducirlo al inglés ni al francés, si lo intentara seguramente cometería una masacre literaria y como la literatura es mi profesión, sería una masacre sin disculpa. Así que dejaré algunas partes que recuerdo para los amigos cuya lengua sea la mía
Aniusha, me dejaste con las ganas. ¿Puede ser que tu comentario haya sido eliminado? No lo encontre... Tal vez era la letra de Alfonsina y el Mar, o tal vez era otra cosa. Ahora quiero saber. Copialo porfis. Me interesa eso de que la literatura es tu profesion. Yo estoy tratando de aprender a escribir, dando vueltas por algunos talleres literarios en Buenos Aires. Bueno, si queres escribime. Saludos
"Oh Mar, enorme mar, corazón fiero,de ritmo desigual, corazón malo,yo soy más blanda que ese pobre paloque se pudre en tus ondas prisionero.Oh mar, dame tu cólera tremenda¡Aire de mar!¡Oh tempestad, oh enojo!Desdichada de mí, soy un abrojo y muero,mar, sucumbo en mi pobrezaMar, yo soñaba ser como tú eres,y mírame aquí, pequeña, miserabletodo dolor me vence, todo sueño,mar, dame, dame el inefable empeñode tornarme soberbia, inalcanzable
Me empobrecí porque entender abruma,me empobrecí porque entender sofoca¡Bendecida la fuerza de la roca!Yo tengo el corazón como la espuma!”
