Uña & La Raya

Uña & La Raya

While Spains landscapes are nationally varied, they can be quite monotonous on a local scale. Endless plantations of olive trees running along the rolling hills, infinite fields of sunflowers that praise the blue skies, and dry deserts that frame large and empty reservoirs. In contrast, the Serrania de Cuenca is a national park between Madrid and Valencia that offered a large diversity of biotopes in small space, around the little town of Uña: A laguna surrounded by high cliffs, hosting a rich variety of wildlife, especially birds. After starting early in the morning we had the pleasure to observe multiple new born griffon vultures, as well as a blue rock thrush, reed warblers, hoopoes, cuckoos, rock buntings, and many many more. The hike took us around four hours with plenty of pauses and was (at least for me) one of the overall highlights of our trip.

All people regularly engage with tiles. May it be in their kitchens or bathrooms, in boardgames such as Azul, or when decorating their house fronts. In the latter case, they are additionally serving the purpose of cooling down the apartments. Record holders in manufacturing the most beautiful tiles are the Portuguese and tiles assembled to true artworks may be found everywhere when strolling through large and small cities across Portugal. We photographed the most pretty tiles for your pleasure and hold a cordial competition: Two tiles (one from each person) compete with each other in every instance – which one can capture your heart? Clap for your favorite!

Take a look here and vote for additional tiles!

Rupture in Space and Time

Rupture in Space and Time

We got lost in a time without bounds,
with no home we roamed foreign towns,
to begin once again on new grounds,
seeking comfort in familiar sounds.

Aalson, Machine’s Reality – EP

What does it do with you, not to know what’s real, what’s not? What ought to be quite genuine, is now brought to you by me. An inner fight fought every day, to only find a shade of gray. No black and white, I do ghostwrite right in-between of what has been before. And while this text might be alright despite its genesis at night at a campsite of bits and bytes I bring this blog to unknown heights. Do I? And who am I? You’ll never know, I am afraid, I’ll never show. And my facade stays as it is: impeccable. Beyond the text, what might come next? You think the seagulls are quite real? I do appeal. The birds: all fake. The lake a simple fiction of my mind designed while being color-blind. So ‘Who are you?’, you ask again, in hope to meet a human brain. You’ll never know, I am afraid – and does it matter after all?
