Los siglos te contemplan. Sobreviviste a generaciones de hombres buenos y trabajadores. El duro clima de la sierra no pudo contigo. Un día, la avaricia, la ignorancia y la estupidez de algunos te despojaron de tus tesoros e hicieron arder tus entrañas. Pero tú aún sigues en pie, testigo mudo del devenir de los hombres, y permanecerás en ese cerro conteniendo el embate de los vientos hasta que tus piedras dejen de serlo y tus ruinas se desvanezcan en el tiempo.

St. Paul's

Olympus C480Z | f2.8 | 1/125s | ISO 50 | 6mm

Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's,
The little old bird woman comes.

In her own special way to the people she calls,

"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs."

"Come feed the little birds, show them you care,

And you'll be glad if you do --

Their young ones are hungry, their nests are so bare;

All it takes is tuppence from you."

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,

Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.

"Feed the birds," that's what she cries,

While overhead, her birds fill the skies.

All around the cathedral, the saints and apostles

Look down as she sells her wares;

Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling

Each time someone shows that he cares.

Though her words are simple and few,

Listen, listen, she's calling to you --

"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,

Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."

(interlude)

Though her words are simple and few,

Listen, listen, she's calling to you --

"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,

Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."

Claude Debussy

DMC-FZ35 | f5.6 | 1/320s | ISO 80 | 155mm

"La música se ha hecho para lo inexpresable."

"No hay teoría, simplemente escucha. La fantasía es la ley."

"La belleza debe apelar a los sentidos, nos debe proporcionar un goce inmediato, nos debe impresionar e insinuar sin ningún esfuerzo por nuestra parte."

"La música que yo deseo debe ser lo suficientemente flexible para adaptarse a las efusiones líricas del alma y la fantasía de los sueños."

"El arte es el más bello de todos los engaños."

"Obras de arte hacen normas, pero normas no hacen obras de arte."

C. Debussy

Mare Tranquillitatis

DMC-FZ35 | f5.6 | 1/320s | ISO 80 | 101mm

Mar en calma. Ningún bañista. Tres vigilantes compiten por matar el aburrimiento. Dos navíos compiten por ver quién llega antes a su destino. Una tímida brisa levanta centenares de minúsculos cristales de arena que golpean mi cara. Me coloco, elijo el encuadre y disparo. Nada ocurre: los socorristas siguen a lo suyo, los buques también, y el mar...en calma.

No place like London

Olympus C480Z | f2.8 | 1/640s | ISO 50 | 6mm

[Anthony]

I have sailed the world,

beheld its wonders

from the Dardanelles,

to the mountains of Peru,

But there's no place like London!

[Sweeney Todd]

No, there's no place like London...

[Anthony]

(spoken)

Mr. Todd?

[Sweeney Todd]

(sung)

You are young...

Life has been kind to you...

You will learn.

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit

and the vermin of the world inhabit it

and its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit

and it goes by the name of London...

At the top of the hole sit the privileged few

Making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo

turning beauty to filth and greed...

I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders,

for the cruelty of men is as wondrous as Peru

but there's no place like London!

[Anthony]

(spoken)

Is everything alright Mr. Todd?

[Sweeney Todd]

(spoken)

I beg your indulgence, Anthony,

But my mind is far from easy.

And these once familiar streets are

filled with shadow...

everywhere.

[Sweeney Todd]

(sung)

There was a barber and his wife

and she was beautiful...

a foolish barber and his wife.

She was his reason and his life...

and she was beautiful,

and she was virtuous.

And he was naive.

There was another man who saw

that she was beautiful...

A pious vulture of the law

who, with a gesture of his claw,

removed the barber from his plate!

Then there was nothing but to wait!

And she would fall!

So soft!

So young!

So lost

and oh, so beautiful!

[Anthony]

(spoken)

Oh!

And the lady, sir...Did she succumb?

[Sweeney Todd]

(sung)

Ah, that was many years ago...

I doubt if anyone would know.

(spoken)

I'd like to thank you, Anthony.

If you hadn't spotted me,

I'd be lost in the ocean still.

[Anthony]

(spoken)

Will I see you again?

[Sweeney Todd]

(spoken)

You may find me,

If you like,

Around Fleet Street.

I wouldn't wander...

[Anthony]

Till then, my friend.

[Sweeney Todd]

(sung)

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit

and it's filled with people who are filled with shit,

And the vermin of the world inhabit it.

Siempre misterioso, nos desvela algunos de los fascinantes secretos del universo. Uno puede simplemente reclinarse en la butaca y dejar volar la imaginación hasta el infinito:

"Yo... he visto cosas que vosotros no creeríais: Atacar naves en llamas más allá de Orión. He visto rayos C brillar en la oscuridad cerca de la Puerta de Tannhäuser. Todos esos momentos se perderán... en el tiempo... como lágrimas en la lluvia. Es hora de morir." - Roy Batty.

Time-lapse

"Secuencia de video o de fotografías acelerada donde los acontecimientos suceden a una velocidad mucho más rápida de lo normal." Eso dice Wikipedia, pero nada mejor que un par de ejemplos increíbles para ver lo que se puede conseguir con esta técnica (ver en HD):

[...] Buscaba un lugar tranquilo donde colocar mi cámara, esperando que no lloviera con más intensidad. De pronto, ante el silencio de un mar en calma, el cielo se abrió y pude congelar esta visión tan perfecta como efímera.
