Walking next to tramp steamers.

-

Merchant ports and old ships, docks or cargo marines have a unique kind of beauty with nothing to prove. I love walking around the enormous boats just looking and think on all the places they been, the life on board, the sea and the travels they made.

I been a few days in this coast city which not a long time ago was an important port by the Adriatic sea, an my favourite place are the old docks and the coffee shops by the harbour. I don't know why always felt a great attraction to steamers and old fishing boats, specially after reading all the seven Alvaro Mutis Maqroll's novels. So, I was really happy when I found this old steamer called Amazon, and I had to take a few pictures next to it. Nice way to spent the last moments of my holidays before is officially autumn.
 
 
 Puertos mercantes, barcos oxidados, marinas y buques de carga tiene para mi una belleza especial, un lenguaje único. Me gusta mucho caminar en muelles o astilleros rodeada de barcos enormes solamente mirando sus superficies oxidadas y tal vez pensando en los lugares en que han estado antes, los océanos, las islas, la vida a bordo, los viajes y el regreso.

 He pasado algunos días en esta ciudad marítima que hace no mucho tiempo fue uno de los puertos mas importantes del mar Adriático y mi lugar favorito se ha vuelto sin duda los muelles y los cafés al lado del malecón.
 
 
No se porque siempre me han atraído los barcos pesqueros, de vapor o los cargueros especialmente después de haber leído las siente novelas de Maqrol el gaviero. Así que cuando caminando me encontré este vapor llamado el Amazon, como recién salido de un libro de Álvaro Mutis, no pude evitar querer tomarme muchísimas fotos junto el. Una muy buena manera de terminar las vacaciones mientras el otoño continúa en otros lugares del mundo

The cloud

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder. I sift the snow on the mountains below, And their great pines groan aghast; And all the night 'tis my pillow white, While I sleep in the arms of the blast.  Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers, Lightning my pilot sits;    In a cavern under is fettered the thunder, It struggles and howls at fits; Over earth and ocean, with gentle motion, This pilot is guiding me, Lured by the love of the genii that move In the depths of the purple sea;  Over the ril...

Nicely flat

Lots of them wore beige trench coats and those flat caps that made them look like boys who sold newspapers a hundred years ago. —  A.J. Cattapan   Flat caps were used in England since 14th century,  and their use was even mandatory for a while. This item became really trendy in the 20's, specially among workers and news boys, and was recently popularized by hip-hop culture.    This one tartan flat cap is form the traditional Obach Hat Shop in Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) and is one of my spring favourites.       Las boinas planas pueden rastrearle hasta la Inglaterra del siglo 14th, país en el que su uso incluso fué obligatorio por un tiempo. En los anos 20's se volvieron populares sobre todo entre la clase trabajadora y los niños voceadores.       Esta boina hecha de tartan es de en la tradicional sombrerería Obach de Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) y una de mi...
