Joy of Life


This immense cactus just grows from a pot in a very small terrace in front of a house pressed against a window. Its huge  beautiful white flowers celebrating life  –as it looks to me!  I found it in  the town Tilcara, province of Jujuy in the Andes Mountains in the north of Argentina.

Life and Death

Autumn, Scorpio-time, Samhain and Halloween, when the veil between the world is thin…. In all cultures, from Mayan, Celtic to catholic these times have been celebrated and honoured. 
I am aware of the ongoing cycle of live and saw it confirmed by these plants growing from a large mausoleum tomb in Buenos Aires at Recoleta, at which cemetery also Evita Perron lies buried; her spirit still alive for lots of Peronistas.  Look at a cemetery to see how people and how a culture deals with death.
