Labyrinth of life, a photo from Kerala, South

Photographer's Note

After what happened in London I feel like life is a labyrinth, like the one created by this brances. I feel close to those afected by the attack, sad as I felt myself back in march 11/2004 when another terrorist action in Madrid killed 191 people and wounded thousand of people, including my sister and her son.
Let´s find the way out of hate and wars, let´s understand each other. Nobody´s better than other. Lot´s of love for all of you. Take care.

Miguel,

I couldn't agree with you more. And I do like this picture very much -- it does a good job of communicating the connectedness of all of us that you are trying to portray.

One thing I like about this photo, besides being symbolic, is that it works on many scales. Looking at the thumbnail I couldn't tell if it was a photo of something tiny (like a system of veins, or the alveoli in a human lung), or something slightly larger (perhaps a coral growth), or something quite big (like a tree!), or perhaps something huge (like a nebula in space).

Congratulations on a very good image, and I join you in the thoughts you express in your notes.

Lee

Hola Miguel, has rescatado una vista natural de las que dan juego, qué es? si, lo sabemos, pero qué puede ser? se me ocurre... rios vistos desde un avión, o unas pinturas en una cueva tipo Altamira, no ves la jirafa blanca del centro o la tortuga de la derecha?. Tu PdV laberintico y... cuantas mas puede haber... cada uno tiene su visión diferente de lo mismo, pero esperemos que con la tolerancia todo el mundo tenga el mismo.
Un saludo
Jaume

Recuerdo una foto que pusiste hace ya tiempo. En ella se veía una flor, una sola flor. Y luego la nota explicaba quee significaba esa foto.
Era en memoria de todo aquello que significó las campos de exterminio nazis, pues justo era entonces el 60 aniversario de su "descubrimiento" por parte de los aliados.

Entonces como ahora, me parece una foto muy interesante, pero la nota que nos das para acompañar la foto nos da una reflexión mucho más importante.
Gracias.

Hola Miguel,
Has acertado plenamente en escoger esta foto para este dia, y tu nota es magnífica.

Well, it seems that from the summit in Azores when the invasion of Iraq was decided that only Portugal is left for a terrorist attack… and that doesn’t rest me as I use one of the main transport routes inside Lisbon during rush hour and probably a spectacular place for a terrorist attack… The April 25th bridge train.

It’s a real sadness that things like NY, Madrid and London happened, and that the main leaders, supposingly wise people, don’t understand that hate feeds of hate.

Nice metaphoric image. A thick black border would work very well.
