Twins
It is a pleasure to participate again in the Week Photo Challenge. The theme of this week is Pure.
My contribution to the subject are these precious and sleeping twins. No one would doubt its purity, yet…
It’Sugar
It’Sugar
Founded in 2006 by Jeff Rubin, IT’Sugar is a modern day playground dedicated to immersing its customers in content that they just can’t keep to themselves. IT’SUGAR was created to satisfy a universal sweet tooth and provide a variety of bold merchandise with tongue-and-cheek attitude.
As the place where candy-obsessed come to indulge in the sights, smells and tastes of their favorite sweets and get immersed in the brand’s irreverent voice and fun-loving nature, IT’SUGAR is a different kind of specialty store. Dedicated to bringing out the child in every adult, the brand mixes unique product and merchandise with mega-sized humor and attitude.

Imagination
Imagination, also called the faculty of imagining, is the creative ability to form images, ideas, and sensations in the mind without any immediate input of the senses (such as seeing or hearing). – Wikipedia.
Imagination is probably what most differentiates humans from other living beings. It is that wonderful ability to create new scenarios in our mind that do not really exist.
Our imagination combines desires, previous experiences, lived sensations, also our fears and hopes. The imagination transports us to new places that probably we would like them to exist.
We will only be aware of the importance of the imagination if we imagine that we did not have imagination. I firmly believe that if we did not have this incredible capacity, we would not be human, humanity would not exist.
A Face in the Crowd
This is my contribution to this Week Photo Challenge: A Face in the Crowd.
This photo was taken some time ago at the Portobello street market in London.
The violinist played his instrument without finding too much attention in the people who went from one place to another looking for something to buy. I was struck by his loneliness among a crowd of people.
In this Week Photo Challenge, Erica says: “These faceless portraits, as they were, captured a sense of being just one in the crowd. Instead of seeing the unique and defining characteristics of a person’s facial expressions, via an emotive gaze or mild smirk, they became anonymized, mysterious figures with stories impossible to guess.”
I think that this photo of the violinist perfectly reflects what Erica asked in her challenge.
Sweet
This is my contribution to this Weekly Photo Challenge, Sweet.
Although I should not like them as much as I like them, I must confess that I love them. Sweets attract many people because of their taste. I do not recommend sugar, but most sweets contain it in various amounts. I try to eat few and always the less sugar, the better.
For me, I admit, they are a temptation. I try not to buy and if I do, eat them in moderation. I do not always get it.
I photographed these beautiful and tasty cookies in a beautiful store in a large and luxurious department store in Berlin.
The ink sketches are handmade by me. I hope you like it.

Silence
In Silence…
Absorb the silence around
Know the silence and it messages
Connect with the inner self
At rest is the soul and mind
Moments that reveals the truth
Silence douses the flames of uncertainty
Rendezvous with silence
As silence is there to be deciphered
Cemetery of Portbou
Silent
There is no more silent place.
Silence is everything there.
the end of a life of noise,
a noise many times unbearable.
Silence fills the atmosphere.
There is no more silent place.
Cemetery of Portbou
Cemetery on the shores of mediterranean sea, in the town of Portbou, in the north end of the Costa Brava, Noth Catalonia and today a border place between Catalonia and France.
Old useless phones
Unknown Lady
The unknown lady
Her gaze captivated me instantly,
her blond hair moving gently in the wind,
her discreet smile, her beauty,
everything about her was intrigued.
From that moment my life is not mine…
My life is in her eyes…
The Library
La Albufera. Valencia
The Albufera is a freshwater lagoon and estuary on the Gulf of Valencia coast of the Valencian Community in eastern Spain. It is the main portion of the Parc Natural de l’Albufera (“Albufera Natural Park”), with a surface area of 21,120 hectares (52,200 acres).
La Albufera
The natural biodiversity of the nature reserve allows a great variety of fauna and flora to thrive and be observed year-round. While once a saltwater lagoon, dilution due to irrigation and canals draining into the estuary and the sand bars increasing in size had converted it to freshwater by the seventeenth century.
