Roots

© 2006 Armando Salas. ---Today I was at Ortigueira (real name, Santa Marta de Ortigueira) trying to solve an annoying subject (really I was fighting because of a menace from the Council; mi life is a perpetual fight:-))). Ortigueira is my hometown, a little, precious and peaceful village where I lived during 19 years. And today I did something I wished lately: to take photos of my roots:-)))- Upper image: the pink house where I was born (perhaps I'm the Pink Panther:-))), exactly in that room with the opened window (bottom, on the left side). And on the left side of these stairs (bottom image), the house where I lived when I was a baby. Roots, nostalgia... almost tears... 60 years ago...

Very nice images, nice to see how those is other parts of the world live, but even more nicer to be able to revisit a place a friend was born and lived the better part of the begining years of their life. Would be nice now to see images from many years ago that match the same ones you have above only more historical looking from way back when I would imagine. I wish I could go back to where I was born and take pictures now.

Artist Reply: Yes, when I was born, all people laugh. And 60 years after, I still am a bit suspicious... Hmmm...:-)))
