Bears! Icons of the Wild


Hi Everyone!!
This Thursday, we must to write about any photograph that we like. However, I don’t know too much about that so I looked for it in the web and of all the photos that I see, I found this; it’s a couple of young bears sleeping in the Canadian Artic. I think that is one of the most cute and tender image of nature that I have ever seen. They are a little puppy animals that are curled up into the snow. The photograph was taken by Jenny E. Rose on 2008 and she was nominated to Windland Smith Awards because that photograph personifies the most innocent nature. Also, the white color of the image gives us the peace of a baby when he sleeps; that’s makes me choose that; it gives me peace J
The photographer, Jenny E. Rose, it’s really good. In fact, she has exposed nature’s photographs a lot of times. She loves Africans animals, like elephants, rhinoceros, cheetahs and lions. Rose, have photographed Pacific Islands, where she found the Three Fern Forest. However, her favorite photographic exhibition is about bears around the world. She loves bears!! Jenny spends much of her time studying those animals, their behavior, their daily lives, their diet ways and everything!! Her exhibition, opened on 2002, is called Bears! Icons of the Wild, it’s about images from United States, British Columbia, the Canadian Artic and Asia and she wanted to become aware in the people because some are endangered animals.
I think that activity made me notice that the photography it’s a beautiful way of art and that the nature it’s the most fantastic that we can found in the earth.
See you!!

This time to Africa


Hi Everyone!


Recently, we have been invaded by a big and huge amount of information about the most important event of the month…or for the more fanatics, of the year. Perhaps it is one of the most exciting sport tournament on the last four years or is the simple fact of it is happening in one of the most distant country of Chile…I don’t know, but all of us (we…perhaps not all, but the great majority of the people, yes) have been infected by the “FIFA World Cup” fever…it’s a bit crazy, but where you see…you see football: posters in the city, the news on the TV, people talking about what country won at the last match or listen to the typical song “Waka waka”. Who haven’t listened that classic WAKA WAKA EH EH!!! All the people is dancing the song; on internet, on TV on South Africa (obviously) and even in the children in the school….EVERYONE!!!!
I must to recognize that when I listened to the Shakira’s song I didn’t like really much…but finally, since two weeks ago, I liked the song. However, the problem now is that everybody listens and listens and listens and listens the song and I don’t like it now. Today, we must to be patient and wait two weeks until World Cup finish. After, we will listen to another kind of artist or music, on Tv or radio, less repetitive than “Waka Waka”.


See you!
