Update: [15 pictures!] Added sections "feels like june", "We the dump", "Car ride", "Airport" and "Blurs in night life" to the bottom of the page.
The lake and the sky are the same; it is up so is down; blue mantles and whatnot. Unifying a few umbrella terms, I present now the new and improved version of "Sky stuff", as "The sky and the lake II". This is also a second volume album, and the first one is right here. Check it out for a proper intro, and a good look at what I've captured up to now in regards to these unmistakable staples of nature's beauty.

"Wanna hear something funny? In all those years I was locked up in that wagie job, I never had the chance of seeing a sunset like this. When I was younger, it used to be my favorite thing, you know, to just bask in this orangish, violet-ish, blueish light. Cold wind, paper-thin mantle of warmth over my body, I became one wih nature—that's what it felt like. But then I started working, and it was seven whole years without as much as seeing the afternoon sky. When I quit, I was walking this exact same sidewalk, tired, moping, hopeless, I could've just ended it right there, but then this orange light shone on me. I looked up and saw a sky much like this one, and I thought that was the end of me. Worst yet, the end of the world; my heart dropped. When I realized what was actually going on, I just broke down crying. I didn't know it so clearly back then but, this sky is a sign of freedom. To me, at least. It represents me taking back ownership of my own life."
"Well... this is not funny," I said.
I love that you can see the Christmas decorations all tiny in the distance there.

We the dump
The lake at the heart of the poorest side of town is finally being cleaned after years of mayoral promise. Of course the residues occupy the space reserved to the people. Of course it smells, of course we can't avoid it when it's at our doorstep. Of course they can't make the distinction between the dump and our homes.
