This is one of those places that I found almost by chance. It is a place located in the city of Rosario, Colonia, very close to Montevideo. When I arrived at the place, it was cloudy, but after a while, the sun made its appearance, giving me the opportunity to portray the beauty of this place. That old bridge in the background and the contrast of the green grass create a spectacular snapshot in my eyes.
There he was, passing through that place. It was an opportunity that I found very interesting to take out my camera. I rushed in, changed the lens to the long-range lens, adjusted the settings, and in no time everything was ready. The rest is history. The place was Rosario, Colonia, Uruguay.
This old bridge today bears witness to the passage of time. Originally built to withstand the passage of a railroad loaded with raw materials ready to be processed, today it is part of the memory. It shows us how at some point progress was booming and industrialization was an important support for this town. Now, this forgotten bridge in Rosario, Colonia, does nothing but beautify a spectacular landscape.
Not far from Montevideo is this place. Even near the cities, there are places like this that provide us with an escape from our routines. It is a space to think and recharge our batteries to continue with our lives, something very necessary nowadays.
This is the result of soil erosion over many years. It is an imposing mineral quarry, in which one of its areas can no longer be excavated because there is nothing left to remove. Today, it serves as a fascinating landscape for the most curious. A spectacular place for a getaway. It is located in Maldonado, Uruguay.
This is one of my favorite photos, a snapshot that conveys firmness and strength in the face of inclement weather. There is that tree, leafless, almost dry, enduring the climate and the desolation of its surroundings. The camera captured this scene perfectly. It is located in El Pinar, Canelones, Uruguay.
This tree will have a thousand stories to tell. At one time, it was covered in green vegetation. Today it lies dry, in an arid environment, where it is difficult to get what it needs so much: water. However, it reminds us of the strength we must have in difficult times and how to face them with determination. No matter his worn appearance, he is there for us to learn from his resilience.
Another snapshot of the Carrara Quarry, in Maldonado, Uruguay, very close to Pan de Azúcar. It is a place with a nice viewpoint, perfect to spend some time and have some mates. Its imposing beauty overwhelms us and reminds us how an area that was once conceived to be undermined, today is the habitat of birds and other species. A marvel without equal.
At some point you gave us shade, at some point your leaves were green. Today, the passage of time and the inclemencies have defeated you. However, your strong trunk keeps you present, reminding us of the strength we find in your nature. Thank you for transmitting to us what we need so much.
