Signals on the Cordillera

An ancient proverb says that we should not leave any more mark in life than that of our bare feet on Earth.

The Earth was formed, according to Science, 4,543 million years ago.

The Andes Mountains were born at the end of the Mesozoic era, it was from the dinosaurs, 251 million years, until the end of the late Cretaceous, 66 million years ago.

Millions of years of outburst of megatonic explosions.

Winds, glaciers and waters still leave their mark somewhat calmer.

Also the animals that on the surface or under the sea passed their Life, from the ammonites to the vicuñas, passing through the dinosaurs. Signs are still visible if you look closely.

Our gender, the human, we left our mark, memory that we were there. Not always from our bare feet. Rarely with the respect that Creation deserves. Perhaps we lack knowing how to contemplate with a more mystical Spirit.

Who am I to determine with what gaze we should approach a place like the Balcón del Pissis. There goes each one with his conscience.

I want to see more Balcón del Pissis pictures

Abstraction

Difficult to understand

"The little worms wrote on this stick but I can't read it."

So said Doña Martina.

And if God wrote to us,

water, wind, time his pen,

His message on the sand

Would we know how to read it?

The reason that has been given to us

not enough to understand

as written by the little worms on the stick.

ABSTRACT we are left with the message,

shape, color, proportion, texture ...

Pictographs that we do not know how to interpret,

Ideographies without understanding.

But there they are within reach of our gaze

How much more will be written

and we don't know how to decipher?

Note that the following meditation is not a questioning of the selection of the contest prestigious jury. No criticism of the awards.

There is no Ying without your Yang, action without reaction.

The community that cannot pay € 6,400 in prizes cannot advertise its own contribution to Culture. That is why we make public these photos that did not win, nor did they think to win, any prize, just show another side of the same coin.

There are other realities but they are not in this one
