Hello hivers. Human beings have been in a constant struggle to take over nature, in many places where there used to be trees, vegetation, rivers and animals, now there are buildings, highways, concrete and people. Green has been losing ground, and little by little gray has been taking its place, however, there is a big difference between the two, and that is that green comes from that great tireless and perfect force in its way of acting, which we call nature, and gray is a product of the human hand, always changeable, imperfect and adjusted to the interests of the moment.
A veces puede parecer que el ser humano domina a la naturaleza, que controla su crecimiento y hasta el curso de sus aguas, pero basta que este se descuide para que la naturaleza retome lo que es suyo, lo que por ley y orden universal le pertenece. Grandes estructuras, templos, coliseos y espacios que en tiempos pasados fueron indicio del ingenio y la creatividad humana, poco a poco, y por diferentes motivos fueron perdiendo su majestuosidad y transformándose en ruinas.
Sometimes it may seem that the human being dominates nature, that he controls her growth and even the course of her waters, but it's enough for humans to neglect themselves for nature to take back what is her own, what by universal law and order belongs to her. Great structures, temples, coliseums and spaces that in times past were an indication of human ingenuity and creativity, little by little, and for different reasons, they lost their majesty and became ruins.
Cuando la mano y la presencia humanas abandonan un edificio, una estructura o cualquier otra cosa que esté puesta en un espacio natural, inmediatamente aparece una oportunidad para que la naturaleza actúe. A diferencia de nosotros, la naturaleza es muy eficiente, trabaja rápido y sin dar concesiones, encuentra su camino incluso entre el hierro, el concreto y la tecnología, y no se detiene, sólo necesita tiempo para transformar hasta lo más moderno en parte de ella.
When the human hand and presence leaves a building, a structure or anything else that is placed in a natural space, an opportunity for nature to act immediately appears. Unlike us, nature is very efficient, she works quickly and without concessions, she finds her way even between iron, concrete and technology, and she doesn't stop, she only needs time to transform even the most modern into part of her.
El protagonista de estas fotos en blanco y negro es este viejo vagón de tren que está en el parque La Estación de La Victoria (Aragua), ahí estaba ubicada una de las estaciones del antiguo ferrocarril de Venezuela que unía a Caracas (la capital), con la ciudad de Valencia (Carabobo), este ferrocarril funcionó desde 1894 hasta 1966. Han pasado más de 50 años, y a pesar de que el esqueleto de este vagón está oxidado, sigue firme, sin embargo, ahora parece estar más cerca de la naturaleza que del ser humano.
The protagonist of these black and white photos is this old train car that is in the Parque La Estación of La Victoria (Aragua), where one of the stations of the old Venezuelan railway that linked Caracas (the capital) with the city of Valencia (Carabobo) was located, this railway operated from 1894 to 1966. More than 50 years have passed, and although the skeleton of this wagon is rusty, it's still firm, however, now it seems to be closer to nature that of the human being.
Entre su firme estructura ya no circulan personas ni se escuchan voces, ahora lo invade el silencio y lo acompañan los cantos de las aves, lo abraza la maleza y diferentes variedades de plantas que crecen a su alrededor y entre sus espacios desnudos, ya no se mueve entre kilómetros de rieles recorriendo ciudades, ahora lo único que se mueve son los insectos, aves y animales que se acercan a curiosear o a sentarse sobre lo que queda de él. Él ya no es un vagón, ya forma parte de la naturaleza.
Among its firm structure, people no longer circulate nor voices can be heard, now silence invades it and is accompanied by the songs of birds, it's embraced by the undergrowth and different varieties of plants that grow around it and between its bare spaces, it no longer moves between kilometers of rails passing through cities, now the only thing that moves are the insects, birds and animals that come to browse or sit on what is left of it. He is no longer a wagon, he is already part of nature.
La naturaleza es la fuerza más poderosa que existe, podemos creer que la hemos dominado pero tarde o temprano y al menor descuido ella recuperará lo que le pertenece. El vagón no le pertenecía, simplemente fue abandonado por nosostros y ella lo adoptó para hacerlo parte del paisaje. Esto nos recuerda aquella famosa frase que dice que nada se pierde sino que todo se transforma, y en el caso de la naturaleza, esto se cumple de una manera perfecta y hasta poética.
Nature is the most powerful force that exists, we can believe that we have dominated her but sooner or later and with the slightest carelessness she will recover what belongs to her. The wagon didn't belong to her, it was simply abandoned by us and she adopted it to make it part of the landscape. This reminds us of that famous phrase that says that nothing is lost but everything is transformed, and in the case of nature, this is fulfilled in a perfect and even poetic way.
