Found my Path to success --- monomad --- Eng/Esp

Seascapes with pillars of old docks, is what I always look for when I walk the coast. I almost know by heart a good coastal strip in my area. I realized that I could also go to the towns near the sea in search of those dreamlike landscapes of abandonment or domination of the sea over human work. For this reason, only three or four words were enough for two photographer friends to convince me to go to Guanimar, some 85km from the city. A town that has many humble wooden houses and canals that drain the tides that penetrate to the estuaries full of mangroves and mosquitoes. I had my title in mind: "Road to Success", before I embarked on the journey. I had to find a row of piers, sandstone, an old rock path, or an old pier to fulfill that premise. And boy did I find it: a pier made with more enthusiasm than wisdom, which lasted very little after its inauguration. Many residents came up to me to tell me the story of that pier when they saw me with the tripod and the camera photographing precisely the fiasco. They say that they did not pay attention to the residents, they did not listen to advice, they did not use what was necessary and I photographed the result, such a great honor. Certainly the "Road to Success", or quite the opposite. I accompany this post with other photos I took of the town. Very picturesque, it is worth going back to see what was left when the last hurricane passed, and bring a lot of repellent.

Paisajes marinos con pilares de antiguos muelles, es lo que siempre busco cuando camino la costa. Ya casi me sé de memoria una buena franja costera de mi zona. Me di cuenta que también podía ir a los pueblos cercanos al mar en busca de esos paisajes oníricos de abandono o dominio del mar sobre la obra humana. Por ese motivo, sólo bastaron tres o cuatro palabras para que dos amigos fotógrafos me convencieran de ir a Guanimar, a unos 85km de la ciudad. Un pueblo que tiene muchas casas de madera humildes y con canales que drenan las mareas que penetran hasta los esteros llenos de manglares y mosquitos. Tenía mi título en mente antes de emprender el viaje "Camino al éxito". Tenía que encontrar una fila de pilares, de madera recalada, un antiguo camino de rocas, o un muelle viejo para cumplir esa premisa. Y vaya que lo encontré: un muelle realizado con más entusiasmo que sabiduría, que duró muy poco después de su inauguración. Muchos pobladores se me acercaron a contarme la historia de ese muelle cuando me vieron con el trípode y la cámara fotografiando precisamente el fiasco. Dicen que no le hicieron caso a los pobladores, no oyeron consejos, no usaron lo que hacía falta y el resultado lo fotografié yo, a mucha honra. Ciertamente el "Camino al éxito", o todo lo contrario. Acompaño este post con otras fotos que realicé del pueblo. Muy pintoresco, vale la pena regresar a ver qué quedó cuando pasó el último ciclón, y llevar mucho repelente.

Thanks for the opportunity!
