The great wave at Kanagawa.

The great wave at Kanagawa.
This amazing work by K. Hokusai is one of my favourite works of art: vulnerability and strenght; the paradoxical beauty of imminent death and thousands of waves hidden in the foam -perfect example of the fractal nature of the Universe-.

Summertime

Yes, Summer is here and so are many suprises. Snow in Buenos Aires as we speak, how amazing! To think that last Winter in Manchester lacked its inherent white coating on the trees and a snow man welcoming strangers at the door; and yet, Buenos Aires on the other hand (never a place for frosty winters), sneezes and shakes the linty flakes of snow from its nose as it crosses the autumnal threshold.

Last time such a strange event took place in the Queen of Silver they were celebrating the 1917th winter of christianity. Can we blame then, in all truth, Global Warming for this unexpected week? Could it be that the world has finally turned inside out? Is it upside down at last?
Now days the South, the austral cone points upwards and nothing of what was will ever be the same... or so I want to believe....
Though I may find myself standing on the nothern hemisphere I dream of you, Mother Argentina, whereever I go.
