Photographer’s Note

Tangier was once an international city, specially during and shortly after the II World War. Lot of political refugees ended there looking for shelter, among them many spaniars running away from the bloody dictatorship regime of Franco. In fact the mountains on the background are the seaside of Cádiz, at the very south of Europe, of Spain, so probably some of those political refugees stayed there under the red sun, le soleil rouge, waiting for the chance to cross from shore to shore to find whas was their original land...

To all the victims of the Franco regime (1936-1975)

Hola Miguel, que tal?

Me gusta mucho esta composición con la vista en la dirección donde miran las dos personas... toda la foto cuenta una historia que explicas muy bien en la nota...

Saludos
Günther

The dedication alone, to all the victims of the Franco Regime, deserve a thousand points, although we're not here for points.

I like it, amigo, it's a simple setup, but a nice view.

I hope you are well, I juts returned from St. Petersburg and Finland, the choir festival. Would love to get together again with you sometime, spend a weekend somewhere.

M: I immediately took to this composition - nice touch with the jalaba-clad figure in the fore. c

Como es la mente Miguel, en la miniatura ve vino a la cabeza un escenario del medio oeste de una peli de Tarantino, al ver que estaba en Marruecos pensé antes de ver la foto en grande que se trataba de una gran valla publicitaria y la muralla de una vieja ciudad perdida en el desierto, y.... ahora estoy escribiendo todo esto por que es un simple paseo en Tánger.

Un saludo.

Hola Miguel.

Foto y nota muy pero que muy insipiradas.
Sencilla pero llena de una gran carga y belleza.

Carlos.

Hello Miguel

I like the sheer surrealism and graphism of this scene. The echoeing curves, the delicate tones. A very classy composition.
