a step to freedom..

Martin García


We left the waterfalls, and follow one of the two rivers that delimit our Mesopotamia..
we arrive at the Rio de la Plata..
There is a special place, a small island at middle of it, between Argentina and Uruguay..
Martin Garcia , its name ..
Witness of many facts at our history... battles for our independence at the river...
a prision, for common and for political prisoners..
When it was closed, its inside was destroyed, but they kept the walls, the windows and gates..
I imagined the feeling of those leaving... and I remember something i read long ago..
"As a fish only knows what water means, when it is taken out of it.. a man can only know the whole meaning of freedom when he looses it.. "

Esta foto es magnifica! Una puerta que no esta abierta y no esta cerrada tampoco. Una vista de campanillas. Sombras encantadas. Un cancion de libertad.

Wonderful photograph and interesting freedom message.
It seems the fight for freedom has taken place in many places in our world some succesful and some not.
Nice composition of the gate and the light coming in is perfect.

The open gate, the light and shadows in the foreground, and the church with its white walls in the background, all this adds an elegant composition in light and colours.
The framing is very good, the texture and details are great. This is really a good one :-) V
Kathy Thompson16-Jul-2007 11:03
Excellent shot! You got it at just the right time to get that shadow of the gate - without that it wouldn't be the same.
Vince16-Jul-2007 09:40
A nice composition. It really shows the stark contrast between the inside and the outside. Vote.

globalgadabout15-Jul-2007 18:52
a very strong and evocative image Silvia...the gate to freedom open at last...so often political prisoners are jailed for the wrong reasons, and were probably delighted to see the sky and the earth again, as you show with your excellent framing...V

Es cierto, el ser humano sólo es consciente de lo que tiene cuando lo pierde.
Fenomenal imagen de la sombra que forman los barrotes de la puerta en el suelo. -V-
