I'm going to send myself a telegram and make believe it came from you

Our times got tangled up like the wires of the old telegraph posts that span the land between us.

Lines whose resistance was once overcome by electrifying reverberations, oscillating faster than the beat of the gull's wings; lighting up inside, outside.

A great gig in the sky

Cords that cannot be followed into the foliage of the trees whose thirst for light is unquenchable.

Looking out the back of your window

Windows lead us to worlds with beauty we cannot imagine from within. Looking back and projecting our shadows are expressions of our long lost wishes.

The curtains, filters and blurs befog our perceptions.

Entangled with a fragmented soul of stone

Even about the shards of a broken heart of stone; if abandoned, the jungle will end tangled up the splinters, smithereens and aiguilles of rock that once embodied a vast and coalesced intimacy with the substratum.

The Trees Revere You

When you walk at night,

the moon envies you.

The sun is jealous

when you're awake.

Grey clouds turn to snow

that blows when you go out.

The trees revere you,

for the only one

who can read the water drops

hanging from their leaves,

is you.

The Fool on the Roof

Probably one of my favourite locations in the world (Not that I have been around much) is the roof at my home. There I have seen countless sunsets and all kinds of cloud formation art. Here I share a couple of the best I have caught.

A great gig in the sky

The above is actually the side opposite to where the sun was setting, but the cloud was reflecting a nicely coloured light.

I'll follow the sun

An orange yellowish sunset with funny clouds. Taken with a pretty old Kodak Retinette, and surprisingly the picture came out fine.

Two too many

In a garage sale I found this pretty old looking little camera. A Brownie Flash IV in perfect working condition, well except for the flashbulb that wasn't quite there any more (Probably used a single shot disposable flashbulbs anyway). I couldn't resist her beauty so I took a few photos of her. And it had a very old roll winded in there.

Definitely too many

The whole package

It even conserved a couple of very old LR6 (AA) batteries, apparently then called Penlight batteries (Pila pluma fuente in spanish), beautiful.

The twins

Both bases down

Antiquities

Definitely Old

Sometimes technology just moves too fast, and before you know it your devices are now ridiculous and you're old. As of today I still have to use my VHS to record stuff from telly and watch later. Strangely enough, DVR's or other devices are difficult to procure where I live, they're only available through TV service provider at ridiculous prices. Nobody sells VHS tapes any more, so I must hang on to the few ones I've got. The Betamax is also operational, it has been saved to transfer all the family stuff recorded in those tapes to a more modern format; but I have failed to find the patience to perform such errand.
