CAPITALS IN 7 PHOTOS: 7 MORE PICS OF RIO DE JANEIRO - 7 SIGHTS OF RIO - #2 PART

Ipanema's sandy girls @ Ipanema sandy beach in Rio de Janeiro

Seven new sights of Rio de Janeiro. 

A wonderful city that impressed me for its beauty and its variety.

I deliberately added to the six sepia photos of Rio under its wonderful sun, the only one in colours taken inside Rio's Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian, Edgar Fonseca's masterpiece. 

I believe that the contrast between the sepia photos and the one in colour of the inside of the Cathedral represents and celebrates very well the many beautiful contrasts of Rio de Janeiro that make this city so wonderful!

7 SIGHTS OF SALISBURY'S WONDERFUL ENGLISH GOTHIC CATHEDRAL: THE CATHEDRAL OF LIGHT

Salisbury Cathedral in 4 dimensions!

Salisbury Cathedral is one of the highest examples of the English gothic architecture in Britain. Situated in the South of England, near Stonehenge, in the beautiful region of Wiltshire, it is a wonderful example of medieval architecture.

It is a wonderful, imposing building. Most of everything it is the effect of the light on the straight lines of its architecture that impressed me and I tried to portrait and exalt in my photos.
The baptesimal font, in my eyes, acts like a gateway to an unreal 4th dimension. I think the designer of the font is a real genius.

Hope you like my photos.

La Catedral de Salisbury es uno de los mayores ejemplos de la arquitectura gótica de Gran Bretaña.

Situada en el sur de Inglaterra, cerca de Stonehenge, en la hermosa región de Wiltshire, es un maravilloso ejemplo de la arquitectura medieval.

Es un maravilloso, imponente edificio. La mayor parte de todo lo que es el efecto de la luz sobre las líneas rectas de su arquitectura que me impresionó y me trató de retrar y exaltar en mis fotos.
La fuente baptesimal, en mis ojos, actúa como una porta de entrada a una cuarta dimensión irreal. Creo que el diseñador de la fuente es un verdadero genio.

Espero que os gusten mis fotos.

7 SIGHTS OF FLORENCE, TUSCANY - MONUMENTS BEFORE THE STORM

Palazzo Vecchio before the Storm, Florence, Italy

Florence is one of the most famous cities of Tuscany, of Italy and maybe of the entire world. I portraited this capital of art when the air was still and the sky was grey and a big storm was near to come. In that moment the Arno river, the cathedral and the famous statues of Florence were full of energy, they were back somewhere in history, they had a special light. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Florencia es una de las ciudades más famosas de Toscana, de Italia, y tal vez del mundo entero. I portraited esta capital del arte cuando el aire estaba quieto y el cielo estaba gris y una gran tormenta estaba cerca de llegar. En ese momento el río Arno, la catedral y las famosas estatuas de Florencia estaban llenos de energía, que se remonta en la historia en alguna parte, tenían una luz especial. Espero que disfruten las fotos.

THE BRUTAL MURDER OF JAIRO MORA

We broke a rule and we decided to publish a post about Jairo Mora on our blog.

Our blog only posts photos and stories related to travel, but we decided to accept the request made by one of our readers who asked to publish a post about Jairo Mora as a sign of respect for his courage and his death and as a way to increase public awareness about it.

Jairo Mora  was found dead the 30th of May after being beaten with his hands tied behind his back on a beach in Costa Rica. Autopsy results revealed that he had died from asphyxiation after being struck in the back of the head.

He was an environmentalist and he was patrolling a beach in Costa Rica to protect the sea turtles eggs nested in the sand and to avoid them to be stolen by illegal traffickers. He was 26 y.o. and he was brutally killed by the poachers.

Mora received frequent death threats, including an incident just weeks before his death where he was threatened at gunpoint.  He also denounced the lack of support by Costarican police in helping and protecting the environmentalist patrolling the beaches.

We honour the man, his courage and his will for fighting for what is right and what is fair and just.

Please SHARE THIS POST ON YOUR FB WALL, GOOGLE+1 IT, TWEET IT or spread it on other social medias as a way to increase public awareness and force Costarican authorities to effectively take action against his killers.
