Casca de árvore Eucalipto/Eucalyptus Em minhas viagens tenho fotografado exaustivamente alguns temas. No fundo, sempre na esperança de publicá-los de alguma forma. Tenho perseguido o tema "Cascas de árvores" devido à sua diversidade de texturas, de formas e de cores. In my travels I have photographed exhaustively some themes. In the background, always hoping to publish them somehow. I have pursued the theme "Tree Barks" because of its diversity of textures, shapes and colors. #bark #tree #arvore #casca
#bark #tree #arvore #casca #Nature Bark detail of Eucalyptus The trees of my journeys - VII Poem by Pedro Veludo Translation by Jorge Veludo I feel as if it were on mine, my sister, the wound they laid on your brest. Later, at daybreak, I'll return. I know I won't be able to cure your suffering, but I promise to pick some of your fruits and take them to lands where the only known weapons are the twinkling of sunbeams, at dawn, and the roaring of the children's laughter, when the day is done. Detalhe de casca de Eucalipto As árvores do meu caminho - VII Poema de Pedro Veludo Sinto como se fosse no meu, minha irmã, a ferida que fizeram no teu peito. Logo mais, na calada da madrugada, voltarei. Sei que não serei capaz de sanar a tua dor, mas prometo que colherei alguns de teus frutos e os levarei para terras onde as únicas armas conhecidas sejam o dardejar dos raios de sol, pela manhã, e o ribombar de risos de crianças, ao entardecer.
