The light that fears the sun.

Sorry, it's just crappy text and crappy pictures.


I just wanted to see the people passing by while I waited for sunset. Almost two hours away was the final minute in which the sun took refuge in the land, or submerged itself in the sea, and I longed to see how the star silently dissolved into the humid horizon of water, but in December the axis of the earth changed, and the sea only has to wait for the return of its powerful and fiery lover.

It was a Monday 4:50 pm, and I was there in front of the sea, sitting on white mountains of quartz and sand, inhaling maresia and salts all over my body.

My damp and salty skin thought about the many times I could always return to the same place, excited by the soft silences of the wind, the fine white lace embroidered by the waves, and the calm sea that spreads its smell of coral and reef in each human life.

It's so relaxing to be there looking at everything...as if you were a spectator that no one notices or that no one sees...am I invisible? maybe.

Not even the birds care about my presence, because I am one more in this picturesque picture.

I decided to take photos of birds, people, friends, the sea. It is so delicious to keep your mind blank while life only exists in this landscape.

People so enjoy walking along the seashore to get away from the world, and to feel that they have arrived at a refuge where responsibilities and emergencies do not exist.

"We are fed up"- they say -, and diving into the sea is like taking a bath in plactonized water and being reborn as half men, half fish. The God Neptune would be proud to know that we are eager for his kingdoms... although I like it a lot of fried fish, and that would not go down very well with the lord of the seas...🙃

We are facing the sea as naked species of modernity.

I think that this December on the beach is a common and happy place for everyone, but I prefer it to any January or any May, because it is my father's month, and he loved both the sea and the very land of his vine.

If I could show you these photos! He would laugh with me at my terrible angular vision, and at the acrobatics that I invent in the air to not let a bird escape by flapping its wings, or at the waves of the sea that in their "come and go" erase a sun that I drew in the sands and no one will notice. The sea dilutes everything.

So much energy within a receding sun!

And through the light, people see themselves as they are, without false attitudes, without false hugs, without false kisses, happy to be happy, just being able to live that sunset with the greatest of simplicity.

And I wake up so light and so grateful, that perhaps I can take flight like all these birds in front of the sea, but I feel that the feathers born are not enough, and that the treacherous light of the afternoon reveals my silhouette contained in the sand to telling me sarcastically that I don't have the soft curvatures of a seagull, and that I'm just a human with wings inside my heart.


Always very grateful for your reading.

It's really a relief that we have this community for those of us who have no idea how to take good pictures.... and although mine are not very good, I loved them and I bring them to the best place....

Thank you so much for gifting us this community of crappy photos.....

Thanks!!!

That's great @adaluna1973! We're excited to see your progress on Hive! We can't wait to see you achieve this next one!

I felt like I was sitting there watching the people passing by and what's going on around me and those great upside down shots of the sun, they were great, I loved them.... it's another perspective!

Muy dear friend, Thanks!!!

I didn't know what pictures I was taking with the sun facing me, and I thought if I could do something with them....everything else is imagination....🙃😅
But sitting by the sea if it was....very nice and de-stressing...I want to live near the sea.....

Thanks..❤️❤️❤️

I wished that for a long time until it was fulfilled... I'm missing the house in front of the sea... I'm 40 minutes walking distance hahaha

😲...😄😂

Well then...good shit right here, totally good shit.

This is bullshit but the good kind!!!!

You reserved early in the afternoon a front row seat to enjoy one of nature's most beautiful spectacles. There is no painter's palette that can emulate the splendor of colors of a sunset by the sea.

I remember my trips to Varadero in January-February, when there was still no "high season" and for Cubans the water was very cold. I felt the absolute owner of so much beauty on a beach almost deserted of other humans. Early in the mornings, the beach still "like a plate", the sand clean ... Beautiful.

Loved the photos. 🌻

This is a seat for people of height ..😆...so beautiful, so relaxing, life itself....with your words I know you enjoyed it as much as I did.....
But I admit I'm a coward, I had no courage to enter the sea beyond my waist...🤣🤣🤣🤣

How beautiful is our land...I love it....
Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate it very much.

I was very young then, I wasn't afraid of the cold. Besides, I almost always went with a couple of Russians who worked in Cuba and for them it wasn't cold. 😂😂😂

But.... like this is not worth it...😂😂😂😂

I promise that if I am invited again I will bathe even if it is 6 degrees Celsius...😂😂😂

To remember is to live again.... Varadero is full of Russians, maybe your friends are around....

I met these friends when I was working in Matanzas. I was a recent graduate and my knowledge of the Russian language was fresh. They were looking for a translator for their jobs and that's when I showed up 😉

When they left, along with all the other Russians who were collaborating, we lost contact. Even the wonder of the Internet was not yet what it is today. They were already in their fifties and it's been over 30 years, so it's unlikely they are among the Russians you saw. 😀😀😀
Maybe their son (we are contemporaries) or grandchildren 😜.

🧡🌻

Mmm...do you studied russian??

😲

I am a graduate of a university in the disappeared USSR. 😜😜😜 Russian language was obligatory 😉.

Nunca te he dicho que tus textos son mis preferidos en Hive? Los disfruto mucho, debieras ser escritora. Bueno, lo eres. Diciembre es mi mes también. Ya tengo mucha nostalgia y no es tan feliz como antes cuando estaban mis papás para celebrarlo conmigo. Tus fotos están lindas cuántos pájaros juntos. Gracias por compartir.

Dear friend, I am super grateful for your comment and I don't want my ego to get the better of me...😅...but I don't deny that you make me happy even though I don't consider myself a writer...and you are, even very good for poetry. There are many fascinating and talented people here and I admire many of them...you just have to discover them little by little.
December: a few years ago I got used to living in absences, and I only regret not having repaid my parents for all the happiness they gave me, but I know that they would not be satisfied if they saw me live with too much sadness...

The photos, as you can see, are shit....😅😂...there are bird wings with strange shadows and some random hands and heads cut off....I had a lot of fun with them...and the text alone It is the complementary part that he had, although I wrote it thinking of easing the mind of someone I admire a lot.

Thank you...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 🙏🏼

The sea dilutes everything.

(esto me nubló los ojos)

It is one of your texts that I liked the most, if not the most...
The photos are not bad, you should just, in some cases, straighten the horizon in editing.
And try not to use filters, only corrections of lights, highlights, shadows, contrasts... I'm not a great photographer, but here are some that in black and white would look wonderful.
