A picture of Ranquil-Lonquimay

 

I took this photo in the summer of last year, for my vacations. At that moment I was in my grandmother's field, with my family, in Ranquil, near Lonquimay.

I took this photo on the rocks in the field that are very high above the ground, you can see that there are many trees, of different kind of green, you can also see that there is a river that separates the two sides.

On the other side of the river you can see "araucaria pines", these are native trees of the territory and the habitants take care of them, because these trees have a meaning for them: resistance, representativeness, affection and happiness. Every year the "araucaria pines" produce pine nuts that fall down from these heads. For me nature is amazing!

For me nature is our origin, nature is part of our identity, however over time humans have expropriated it. It also means the life of many species, animals and plants that fight for resist catastrophes and human deterioration. For me the photo represents tranquility and serenity, a little bit of calm and breeze that encourages you to slide thinking. Stay in that place means to me connecting with my interior, listening to myself, feeling the joy of forgetting everything.
