A few months ago, when we were in winter here in Venezuela, that is to say in the rainy season, I climbed a mountain I had never been to before. Apart from hiking, which is something I love, I wanted to see the city from there, but what struck me most was all the intense greenery around.
Hace unos meses, cuando estábamos en invierno aquí en Venezuela, es decir en época de lluvias, subí a una montaña que no conocía. Aparte de hacer senderismo, que es algo que amo, quería ver la ciudad desde allí, pero lo que más me impactó fue todo el intenso verdor que había alrededor.
The hike started very early, around 6:15 in the morning, it was not yet dawn and everything looked a little opaque.
La caminata comenzó muy temprano, como a las 6:15 de la mañana, no había amanecido bien aún y todo lucía algo opaco.
But just a few minutes later the light changed, it seemed that someone had opened some windows and everything looked sharper.
Pero apenas unos minutos después la luz cambió, parecía que alguien había abierto unas ventanas y todo se veía más nítido.
There were a few clouds, but they were moving quickly, giving way to the sun.
Había unas cuantas nubes, pero iban moviéndose rápidamente, dándole paso al sol.
As we progressed uphill, the green world became more present and I didn't want to miss the opportunity to take those images with me.
A medida que avanzábamos en la subida, el mundo verde se hacía más presente y no quise perder la oportunidad de llevarme esas imágenes conmigo.
Right now all these mountains are sepia-colored, with almost no vegetation and many of them suffering from the fires that occur every year in the summer months or drought (December to April).
Ahora mismo todas estas montañas están de color sepia, con casi nada de vegetación y muchas de ellas padeciendo los incendios que cada año se dan en los meses de verano o sequía (de diciembre a abril).
Witnessing these changes makes you understand that everything in nature is cyclical and transforms.
Presenciar estos cambios te hace comprender que todo en la naturaleza es cíclico y se transforma.
So we must value the present, what we have at any given moment, both rain and drought are necessary.
Entonces debemos valorar el presente, lo que hay en cada momento, tanto la lluvia como la sequía son necesarias.
You see? Hiking is not only for exercising the body, the mind is strengthened when you find yourself among natural landscapes, you get many good thoughts in your head, with each route you end up a little wiser I think hehe.
¿Ven? El senderismo no es sólo para ejercitar el cuerpo, la mente se fortalece cuando te encuentras entre parajes naturales, te llegan muchas buenas reflexiones a la cabeza, con cada ruta terminas un poco más sabio creo yo jeje.
But back to the greenery. As we were reaching the top of this mountain the views became more incredible, both towards the city and the hills.
Pero volvamos al verdor. Cuando estábamos llegando a la cima de esta montaña las vistas se volvieron más increíbles, tanto hacia la ciudad como hacia los cerros.
I was impressed by that kind of grass everywhere, green handfuls that in many places were even aligned, they had symmetry, but they were not planted by humans.
Me impresionó esa especie de grama que hay por todas partes, puñados verdes que en muchos lugares hasta estaban alineados, tenían simetría, pero no fueron sembrados por los humanos.
Undoubtedly we owe a lot to birds, they are great cultivators of the land, when they leave their droppings around they also leave seeds that they have consumed and this is how much of the vegetation in wild areas arises.
Sin duda le debemos mucho a las aves, ellas son grandes cultivadoras de la tierra, al dejar sus heces por ahí dejan también semillas que han consumido y así surge gran parte de la vegetación en zonas silvestres.
We spent about half an hour on the summit and its surroundings, how different the air you breathe in the mountain! I leave you with a few more shots of this greenery, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
En la cima y sus alrededores estuvimos como una media hora, ¡qué diferente el aire que se respira en la montaña! Los dejo con unas tomas más de este verdor, espero lo hayan disfrutado tanto como yo.
All photos are my property and were taken with a Fujifilm FinePix XP90 digital camera / Todas las fotos son de mi propiedad y fueron hechas con una cámara digital Fujifilm FinePix XP90
It's lovely to see how the photos evolve as the light increases... Beautiful colors, excellent contrasts... An impressive symbiosis between nature and the urban in the photographs where the city can be seen in the valley... It's nice to look at this series of photographs... Where were these photos taken?... Thanks for sharing @sofathana friend...
