Father and boy at Lisboa

    This image is the pure expression of the life: the reproduction, the descent, the care of our genes. The training of our offspring. The amusement. The education. The The life is perpetuated until the infinite. The alive beings we are not but that an infinite load of life, which it began in an ancient moment, and remains during million and million of years, adapting, mutating, being reinforced. Curious thing, The Life.

    Few things are more tender that to observe a father running and playing with his "puppy". Returning to be a child, and living again through the experiences through that he lived being a small boy.

    And if this occurs in the incomparable frame of the Plaça do Comercio of Lisbon, with its impressive views to the Tajo, its buildings, absolutely used, but alive and attractive, and its romanticism perspired by every centimeter of its stoned streets… then, the image is definitively a delight to watch.

    Esta imagen es la expresión pura de la vida: la reproducción, la descendencia, el cuidado de nuestros genes. El entrenamiento de nuestra prole. La diversión. La educación. La vida se perpetúa hasta el infinito. Los seres vivos no somos mas que una infinita carga de vida, que empezó en un momento ancestral, y se conserva durante millones y millones de años, adaptándose, mutando, reforzándose. Cosa curiosa, La Vida.

    Pocas cosas hay más tiernas que observar a un padre corriendo y jugando con su “cachorro”. Volviendo a ser un niño, y viviendo de nuevo las experiencias que vivió de pequeño.

    Y si esto se observa en el marco incomparable de la Plaça do Comercio de Lisboa, con sus impresionantes vistas al Tajo, sus edificios, absolutamente usados, pero vivos y atractivos, y su romanticismo transpirado por cada centímetro de sus empedradas calles… entonces, la imagen es definitivamente una delicia.

      This is an excellent picture, you tell a story.
      I agree with Lunaryuna, the colour and light adjustments are the right ones, not too much not so few, they enhance the image.

      Y has tenido la delicadeza de pintarles del mismo color la ropa de abrigo. Un detalle que honra la unidad familar.

      Ahora en serio, una gran foto, un momento mágico.

      HOMBREEE!! q tal??

      BIENVENIDO! q ya se te echaba en falta!!!!!!

      no tenia sitio en el flog,asi q te posteo aqui.

      Ese renacimiento tras tres meses de ausencia, se agradece.

      La verdad es q coincido en eso de el cambio (me he mudado de ciudad,ya no voy a tener fotos de paisajes maritimos; estoy en Madrid...tb hacer tb de ama de casa, trabajar, etc).

      Ya habrás podido comprobar q no tengo fotos, y me he dedicado + a esto del stencil, asi q habrá q abandonar ese cascaron y salir al nuevo mundo!

      Un saludazo y ánimo!
