No words can describe the happy feeling you get by looking at all these colours Shades of red and orange Green and grey Beige and yellow Pink and purple Mixed with clouds High up Down low Bright white and rainy grey Moving And then the sun comes out and everything changes again Our earth in Continue reading

The North: shaded. A thousand colours. And more. Breathtaking rock formations. Millions of years. Valles Calchaquíes La Quebrada de Escoipe A private tour, me loves Sun, but not too much Clouds, many In the morning, they hang so low that they touch the foot of the mountains To the right To the left Every direction Continue reading

Eleventh – sixteenth
11th Listening to jazzy notes, in a room that’s not green nor grey, lights dimmed, candles on, the pianist hammering his notes, my thoughts drift away It’s been a while since I last went to a jazz bar. Every time I go I wonder why I always let so much time pass between the last Continue reading
