FLOOD BREEZE (164). Light, always

Since the street was made pedestrian, the point of view has changed: a new look out which is a side town without a church that dominates the surrounding area, another where two rivers that the house project seems to be moving aside in search of sea And summit: On the one side, Acequia Altawhich stretches until it disappears into the distance, and, on the other hand, behind our backs, Schoonerwhich continues its journey until it reaches the line with the municipality of Firgense.

This is a new vision Arucas, is delimited by two extremes, one And contrary toIt has special light this, blurred and sifted by the beginning haze, seems renewed every morning; An artist, for example, would have to face enormous difficulties not only in finding the perfect frame, but also in capturing the early light that appears in the summer in mid-November; the summer that came to destroy almost everything: emotions and feelings.

lightAlways light.

We are convinced that next month everything will be different: the same landscape will look different, as if it had just been born. May be the birth of landscapes represents an everyday adventure that we don’t even fully appreciate.
