How Do Memories Look Like ?









In motion, in colors impossible ever to reproduce.
They look perfect and have smell, sounds, even music perhaps.





I was walking up to the hill and turned my self around. I discovered such a sight lying behind. The wind blowing the golden autumn leaves, dead but waiting for another live to arrive. I enjoyed the sight and kept staring while the time swept the day´s light.
Lots of conclusions and thoughts, the past so remote that seemed impossible, only the present which exists with its lies, so glorious.

The fear had came to an end, long live the peace.
I followed my way up to the hill, waiting for newer sights.
Down there in the playground, some lines written over a roof:

"They said ¡sit down!!. . .
. . .but i stood up"

And that was what i did ever since, to stand up, despite it all.

so stand and look with all our wounds exposed and really see, observe the life before us honest
and the beauty will surface in the courtyard of fallen leaves and the promise of tomorrow.

Great writing and photographs Alberto.

Thank you for sharing this morning.

Du har en veldig flott etterbehandling på bildene dine, noe jeg liker veldig godt. De gjør bildene litt maleriaktig!
Og de flotte og vakre ordene til bildene griper meg. All ære til deg for de vakre ordene. Ser frem til flere:)
Ha en fin dag :)

VALKYRIEN said...

Kjenner meg igjen i det du sier om minner som smaker, dufter - lyder som bringer deg tilbake til en annen tid.

Vakre ord og nydelige bilder.

Yes, living truly in the present gives us the strength to stand against the tide! I love this poem...and the images: the beauty in the stark trees against the lovely buildings. Autumn.

Zondra, Berit, Elisa, Robert, William, Gry, Rune, Adelina, Val, Tone, Susanne. Thanks for all those incredible comments and thoughts.
There is no doubt that, the only poem, is that what you all have written here.

Og så glad blir jeg hver gang at "leser" deg Anne ;)

“Good days are to be gathered like grapes, to be trodden and bottled into wine and kept for age to sip at ease beside the fire. If the traveler has vintaged well, he need trouble to wander no longer; the ruby moments glow in his glass at will.”
Freya Stark (French adventurer and explorer 1893-1993)

Have a great day, my friend!
Wonderful images!
Best regards!

Viola said...

Så fint skrevet, og så dyp en mening.. Ja det er rett, Stand up for your Right! Men noen ganger er det vanskelig.. Minner er vanskelig å skrive ned med blekk eller "keybordtaster", for det er så mange SANSER! Noen ganger kan vi få det til nesten å bli visuelt.. De fleste ganger ikke.. Du er flink til å få det til tror jeg.. :)

Ha en god natt og en fin fredag og helg!! :) Fine bilder, sa jeg det..?

Tommy Andre Nekkoy said...

Jeg lurer på hvilke minner du har til det stedet - Hmmm - Liker bilder som setter i gang fantasien - Well done

Wind said...
