From Here to Eternity - a photo on Flickriver

Many of the people who will pass through this page will not even read this, this is the rhythm of life…. It's okay ... I'm always interested in knowing what's behind an image or a scene ... there are probably people, events, special moments, feelings ... but there is always, always a story ... this is mine ... And I need to share it with you!

After some time without being able to travel due to the pandemic, in the middle of this month of November we were able to travel by plane to our beloved island of Ibiza to see the family that we have living there. As I have already said on occasion, whenever I go to this beautiful island I take my camera and go for a walk around it ... this time it was not going to be less. I had three important things to do here, as I said, the first was to see my loved ones, the second was to visit a great childhood friend and the third was to go to a magical and mystical place called Es vedrà. I did all three ... the second and third were very special, very spiritual and very emotional for me and I had to do them alone ... a year and a half ago this friend of mine died here on the island, he was very young ... too young, I couldn't say goodbye to him as he deserved, because of the restrictions that existed then ... now I did ... it was a cloudy Saturday in November on the little island of the sun ... that didn't help much .. After talking, laughing and crying spiritually by his side, I got in the car and drove for about ten minutes along a road with many curves, an eternal road ... until I reached the viewpoint of Es Vedrà where I wanted to connect with nature, relax and reflect quietly ... I did so ... then I took out the camera and photographed the immensity of the place that I had in front of my eyes, in that impressive blue hour on a somewhat complicated Saturday afternoon ... I love you my friend, fly high!

Never has music adapted so well to what I experienced and felt that afternoon ... an afternoon with many emotions, mood swings, many memories, feelings, helplessness, sadness, euphoria, nostalgia, melancholy ... yes you want here is the link:

The great British composer and musician Mike Oldfield lived in Ibiza for several years, the cover of his album "Voyager" was made in this same place.

Everyone has lost people they love at some point in their life and have suffered that ... writing this I do not claim the condolences of anyone, nor that they are sad, I only write this to pay tribute to a good friend and to free myself from these chains so heavy I have on me. If I would like to say something to you my friends, remember to say I love you to the people you love ... this is a very short trip ... thank you all very much!
