Mi tierra, Uruguay

Photography in Uruguay is a constant dialogue with the stillness of our mountains. Capturing that relief of stone and horizon is not only about searching for the perfect frame, but about honoring the roots and pulse of the land we inhabit. In each shot, the landscape stops being a setting and becomes an identity, reminding us that portraying our surroundings is the most honest way to find ourselves.

A lo lejos algo maravilloso

A vertical postcard that shows us how wonderful our world is, like every day, in its sunsets it reminds us how alive we are. I can only thank you for being part of what surrounds us, and think about how lucky I will be to see you again next day. Looking towards the horizon illuminated by the last rays of the sun fills us with hope and gratitude, makes us reflect on the value of each day and the importance of living fully. So, yes, each new day is a blessing that we look forward to, knowing that it will be filled with new opportunities and wonderful experiences.

Esa grandeza que me nutre

Having spent a morning exploring intricate corners with dense vegetation and then discovering this, only embellishes me with such greatness. This is part of a landscape I found in the Sierras de Carapé, Maldonado, Uruguay. This is the source of the José Ignacio stream. This landscape is more than just a view; It is an experience that will remain etched in my memory as a reminder of the greatness and beauty that surrounds us, waiting to be discovered and appreciated.

Las Cárcavas de Rocha

One of the most frequent walks if we are near La Pedrera, Rocha, are the ancient Cárcavas. Originally created under the sea many years ago, today they remind us how topology and the passage of time have changed. Without a doubt, it is a fascinating place to visit. Each groove and each rock formation tells us a story, inviting us to reflect on the fragility and beauty of our planet. It is a reminder that, although time and the elements can transform the landscape, nature always finds ways to reinvent itself and surprise us with its magnificence.

Sobre el lecho del río

Those trees, leaning on one side, seeming to get closer to the river bed, remind me that these are living beings. And as with other species, water has an irresistible attraction for them. Beyond the fact that it is about their livelihood, they want to tell us something. We just have to know how to listen. Each river carries with it a story, a constant flow of energy and renewal. And as we look at these trees, we realize that we are also part of this story, part of this eternal dance between land and water. We just need to open our hearts and let nature speak to us, teaching us its deepest lessons.

Observando la cantera

There are many places like this in the coastal area, towards the Colonia side, Uruguay. These are old disused spaces that at some point were used for the extraction of minerals such as quartz, marble and granite, among others. Today, a long time later, nature has recovered these spaces in its own way. Walking through these places is like entering a forgotten world but full of life, where every corner tells a story and every stone keeps secrets. It is an opportunity to reconnect with the earth and with ourselves, to reflect on the impact we have on the environment and the importance of preserving and respecting nature in all its forms.

Vida entre nosotros

I love this image, it conveys space, orientation and location in this passing world. The trees, with their roots rooted in the place next to the coast, are witnesses of past and present times, waiting calmly as always. It is unfortunate how human beings have lost respect for trees. Too often, the solution to any problem is to simply cut them down, without considering the vital role they play. A real shame. Trees are much more than mere elements of the landscape; They are guardians of nature, home to countless life forms, and silent companions on our journey through life. Their presence connects us to the earth and reminds us of our responsibility to protect and preserve the natural world around us.

Al olvido y a la deriva

He lost his mooring and was adrift. This important buoy plays a fundamental role in our rivers and seas, guiding those small boats that lack very advanced instrumentation. Who knows what his story will be and how he got there. Without a doubt, it is shocking to find her turned on her side. Another gem that I found on the beaches of Kiyú, San José, Uruguay.

Perdidos en el horizonte

There, in the distance, you can see them. They are immutable witnesses of the place. The steppe predominates in these areas of Maldonado, Uruguay, a rural region located in the highlands. The owners of these fields have found a profitable way to profit from the sale of electricity. On the one hand, the positive thing is that this puts livestock farming in the background, an activity that has devastated our fields. However, on the other hand, something negative is that the birds seem not to adapt and are casual victims of their presence. In short, how difficult it is to achieve a balance between profitability and the environment. These windmills represent a crossroads between economic progress and the preservation of biodiversity. Ultimately, we must find solutions that respect and protect our natural environment while driving sustainable development.
