Límites

Y ahora ¿qué?

 




La imagen de este post es una de tantas que se pueden tomar en muchas de nuestras ciudades desde hace un tiempo (Dos mil ocho, quizá???). El boom del crecimiento y la construcción parece que se acabó, así, de repente y sin la previsión necesaria- según estamos viendo- y nos dejó pruebas de ello por todas partes.
Y ahora qué, hacia donde, a ninguna parte… Como esta calle, sus aceras absurdas y sus raquíticos árboles.
Mientras estaba ahí, haciendo esa foto, pensaba en el plano de urbanización que la habría definido y lo ajustadamente que quien la construyó cumplió con él hasta la misma línea que define el final de la ciudad, quien lo supervisó consideró que así quedaba bien terminada, seguro que alguien la inauguró y se felicitó por todo ello…
En fin, y ahí está, una de tantas pruebas de cómo ha quedado todo después del tiempo de “bonanza” que hemos estado viviendo…

Wednesday Indulgence

“Las bicicletas son para el verano”

‘Bicycles are for Summer’ is a great play from F. Fernan Gomez, a playwright I really admire. When the sun comes and I’m ready to have a ride in the evening I always remember that play (about a Spanish family during the Civil war, not so funny).
Next weekend I hope we’ll have a ride and take nice photos like this above of Ava Gardner, she looks so happy!
This is from a book titled ‘Hollywood rides a bike’, by Steven Rea,  I just discovered last Saturday at This magazine.
Have a nice Wednesday!

Feet on the ground

Today it’s been a cold and rainy Sunday here in Rioja, only 10ºC in the midday.
But it was only six days ago that we were enjoying this nice weather… not far from here!  So let's wait, summer will arrive soon... I hope!
Have a nice week, sunny or not!

Feet on the ground

Camino de Santiago

 

 

Along the route to Santiago, you can find a wide range of signs to guide you in your way to Compostela.  
Some of those signals are located on the floor, as the bright yellow arrows painted on the ground that you can find along many streets on the route.
However, I just took these pictures from the nearest streets to our house, where I usually go for a walk in the evenings.
I can imagine tired pilgrims looking down at their feet and meeting this nice signs that notice they’re on the right way.

Have you ever seen something like this? Do you want to share your photos?

Hi! Look what I have found in my email this afternoon, from the amazing NY Guggenheim Store




Two nice pieces of jewelry inspired by the Wright Guggenheim Museum of New York.
They are both from Pico Design, an incredible jewelry brand of 'Little architecture'. I've just discovered and I recommend you, all architecture lovers, to visit the site and see other pieces inspired in  Wright's designs and works.
And, as mom’s day is coming… I won’t say anything else.

Have a nice Wednesday!
