lucky to be alive
Walking toward the cathedral in Real del Monte Mexico. This scene was taken in a centuries old mining town in the mountains above Pachuca Hidalgo Mexico and expresses the sort of worn resignation to tradition and rutine that so depicts life in some small Mexican villages. / Mining for gold and silver started in Real del Monte over 500 years ago under the rule of a Spanish Viceroy. Working conditions were terrible, with miners working knee deep in water most of the time and having to carry large sacks of ore on their backs while climbing 200 to 400 meters up laders made of notched tree trunks. Of course many of the miners died, and those who didn’t were plagued with suffering from the slave like conditions. This photograph captures the emotion one feels when walking through the town and learning of it’s history; a dreary mix of suffering, desperate faith and stained riches. Mining stopped in Real del Monte only a few years ago after passing through ownership by the Spanish, the British, Mexican and American mining companies over a period of many years.

New Beginnings © Vicki Ferrari “Dying is a wild night and a new road” / Emily Dickinson I find these to be very wise words, and self-explanatory! But of course, I have to add more! It can be viewed as a joyous new start for all the old situations and events that happen that we think we will never recover from. And then when we do, with the light of a new day (whenever that day comes), we see a new road. And then we realise the value of what we have learned and how it helps us on our new path… Vicki Purchase Card / Purchase Matted Print / Tech / Nikon D70s / Photoshop (re-uploaded 4th August 2009)

Life is like a painting… you choose your own colors to make your life visible… which color you’ll pick? The colors of joy, kindness, forgiveness, selflessness or the colors of anger, hatred, lies, hypocrisy, unforgiving attitude…? People will see your painting as you go and one day you have to show the ready work to God. Choose your colors that He would be pleased. Matthew 5:16 / Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

A simple but true message about God and His relationship / with you.
A 20×29cm watercolour on Canson 300gsm watercolour paper using a limited pallet. First Snowfall was created by dropping paint onto wet paper and shaping the painting using my imagination to create this frosty snow scene. First Snowfall The snow falls gently all around / glistening ice drops fall without sound. / The trees reach up calling for more / The frosty landscape will sparkle for sure. Linda
