Photo © 2007 Ana YturraldeWitches night. The eve of the Summer Solstice full of mysticism, spells, magic and wishes. Throughout history, bonfires were lit this night to protect against evil spirits which were believed to room freely when the sun was turning southwards again. Witches were also thought to be on their way to meetings with other evil powers.
Tonight wishes can come true, and the energies are free and ready to light the fire. Witches, fire, the moonlight, the sound of the sea.... The Greek Classical Elements (Earth, Water, Air, Fire) all together in a magical night. But there is a fifth element added by Buddhism and Hinduism: the quintessence that is made of a different, unchangeable and heavenly substance that belongs to the mind. The energy that can make a star. Maybe tonight I can't 'touch' Earth, Water, Air or Fire, but the fifth element will bring me the Magic so my heart will be where I need to be, and I'm sure I'll see a spark of fire in my owl's eyes and my soul will fly free with him to that place where the lions will roar loud and wild.

¿Fuiste a la playa a hacer una hoguera? Aunque no fuera Africa, algo es algo ;-)
Times like this always seem to be very evocative.
I think there might be a wolf wandering around too...something sitting on the edge of the fire too.
Masmi, me fuí a Africa a encenderla, pero shhhh no se lo digas a nadie... ;-)
Oh yes, Matt, there was a wolf wandering around too. In the shadows, close to the fire, instincts alert and thirsty of adventure :D
ñoooooos...como dicen en Canarias. La foto me encanta. amarillo y negro a partes iguales.
Pues me alegro de que te guste, Fanmaki. El amarillo y negro es una muy buena combinación ;-)
No conocía esa expresión canaria. Eso me recuerda que leí sobre tu estancia en Canarias, en un barrio de lo más variopinto, y pensé que era un sitio estupendo para hacer una crónica fotográfica!
Anay: un mongráfico trendy te hubiese hecho con mis vecinos.
el amarillo y el negro es la combinación de Warning (Abejas, avispas)
