20 of 24

La Boca, Buenos Aires

Suddenly, I saw an old store, where all kind of good for ships were sold…
it looked like abandoned, but at the roof, this strange kind of ship figurehead made me stop…
An old man walking beside me stopped, too..
I saw traces of many seas, designing his face… he began to whistle a tango’s tune, Mañana zarpa un barco
(Tomorrow a ship weighs anchor) that I had heard before… it came to my mind the lyrics…


Shores that do not change
we touch when anchoring.
One hundred ports
give us the music of the sea.
Sad eyes girls come to greet us
and the taste of the drinks
seems always the same.

And then...

This is so amazing! What a wild scuplture and a feast to the eyes. V!

Hanging on for dear life, what a contrast that figurehead with the restrained person in the window frame. La Boca has plenty to be exited about , what an El Dorado for passionate photographers, bravo Silvia.

This is totally wild. V

What a crazy sculpture... quite intense, really. I think my favorite part of this image though is what looks like a mannequin a little back from the right side window... like the lone inhabitant of an old spooky house. V

Well seen, it is a powerful image!
globalgadabout26-Jun-2007 03:27
well noticed and captured Silvia...what a formidable figurehead....a fierce horse's head...and then a sailor's fantasies...or nightmares...like an image from H. Bosch...and juxtaposed on the austere, functional building...it's surreal...the tango lyrics are so appropriate too...with a tone of resignation about the shores, the sad-eyed girls and the taste of the drinks....V

excellent done.

Igual que la poesía, para algunos autores, el contenido de esta galería es una realidad espiritual que está más allá del arte.
Es una pena que el contador ya esté diciéndonos que sólo nos quedan cuatro entregas de esta maravillosa poesía. Mis elogios y mi voto.
