Destination




The words on the last photo: Vete a donde tus pies y el viente te lleven ... is on a wall in Málaga's Agua Dulce area.
Go, wherever your feet and the winds take you,
and it contines like this
while Venus, and Night, both favour you: luck be
with you: and carve an epitaph on my tomb,
in fond memory.
from Horace's The Odes. I have posted some other pieces of wall poetry before here and here :)

This week´s theme for Corner View is Destination. More of this at FuoriBorgo.

  4. Poetry - what a wonderful thing to encounter in such a random place. It makes it more special to see it where you don't expect it :^)

  5. The post is very nice. I like the very first photographs, the vast country and sprayed stop. And I like the quote on the wall.

  6. I love the black and white photo--made me lean in and take in all the details.

    Our bus stop shelters in Cincinnati are all glass with just enough steel to keep the glass together, so unless the person wants to somehow get on the roof, there is no graffiti.

    The first part of the quote most appeals to me although I like all of it. I would like to follow that first line's advice.

  11. Such inspiring photos and quote.
    The C.V. journey this week took me from Don's post here, I like the mountains roads and b/w connection from his post to yours.

    Happy week!
