From some of the balconies of the Avila National Park, the city always looks majestic and calmed. It is inevitable not to look at it or, in my case, to register the beginning of an interesting route and the narrow roads.

Once in a route going to Quebrada Quintero, after walking way up to Sabas Nieves, I began to walk by different marks that the trees carried by themselves in certain spots of the route. Some of them seemed to be injured, and for a moment I only thought about how interesting the different kinds of scars the trees have.

I started by shooting some of those textures, just trying the minimum distance of the focus of my lens. The 28-135mm of Canon is a good one, it is very adaptable and good to play with the depth of the field in different opportunities. The only thing I would say it's a disadvantage is the minimum distance to focus, it has a bad macro. I mean, it doesn't focus when it's really really close. In spite of this, the firsts results were kind of interesting, after these shots, I decided to get closer to some textures to define their details.

These were the first shots:

From that moment, the sweet sensation that I felt when I was getting closer to these textures, began to expand and it made me hunt more spaces to explode these natural lines.

From the wood affected by fue water

Until the details landing on the ground

And some of the major differences

From all the close -ups I had with those little details of nature, I decided that it was worth to keep active the title used at this previous post: Los pueños y molestos detalles. Even if the details aren't annoying, they are beautigul and full of life.

I may be sharing more of these kind of works under this title, everything as a part of the same technic and aesthetical treatmentyo createan interesting series of small things.

Before I go...

Something that I cannot tolerate is seeing how actions like these contribute to damage the spaces and the planet, in general. How little sensivity does someone need to be to damage a space where you go to enjoy, and where the main atraction is to connect with the pure beauty of nature.

Can this be the ultimate print that Humankind leaves behind?

I only hope that is not too late when we realize how dangerous our actions can be.

Don't be a part of bad behavior, the very first way to contribute is by avoiding polluting. You can also contribute by picking some garbage you see on your way and complaining with the people you see that are throwing garbage to these kind of spaces.
