31. Review about the film Kingdown of Heaven.

I´m going to talk about the film Kingdown of Heaven, a fil directed by Ridley Scott in 2005 which is starred by Eva Green and Orlando Bloom.

The story of the film starts with a young blacksmith called Balian in France in the end of the 12th Century, the after his wife dies, and when a group of soldiers with their lord arrive to the small vilage. They are searching for the illegitimal son of the lord, who is the blacksmith, but he didn´t say anything.

After murdering a priest (who had buried his wife without head), Balian go to Holy land asking for  Gog´s absolution for him and redemption for his wife´s soul.

When he arrives to Palestine, he must fight against muslin army and his intelligent commander Saladino, who besieges the city of Jerusalem. Balian became to Christian forces chief and defended its inhabitants until the day which Saladino forgave their lives.

The movie was filmed in Morocco and in Spain. I´m think that is an interesting, historical and action film and I like it very much, especially for the plot and special effects.

30. Smartphone, lights and shadows.

According to recent statistics There are around 2 billion of smartphones in the world at the present moment, but this number will increase in 2020 until they catch up the amount of the people on the planet. I´m going to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of this technology in my opinion.

First of all, it´s necessary to recognise the main advantage that this kind of devices can offer  us like it has in one  electrical appliance tools  which before we had to buy separately (phone, digital camera, connexion to the internet without pc, etc.). Another special characteristic of a smartphone  with relation to previous cellular devices is that every customer can choose  those applications that need or create it and upload to the web store to be used by another users.

On the other hand we are talking about an expensive product, which can´t be bought by many people in the world, and whose raw materials like Coltan cause conflicts among the manufacturer countries because they are limited.

I think that a smartphone is a great tool but its production should be more sustainable and fair and its price cheaper than nowadays. 

29. O Cabo Roncudo/Roncudo Cape

Neste lugar onde a terra se rinde ás embestidas do fero Atlantico e o vento é señor de tódalas cousas, ergueron os homes a atalaia  para salvagardar aos vivos e as cruces para lembrar aos mortos. Uns e outros sempre nas mans dos designios dun caprichoso Poseidón, que unhas veces proporciona o sustento e noutras máis sombrías reclama un cruel pago.

In this place, where  land surrenders to assaults of wild Atlantic and wind is the lord of everything, men built a watchtower for save alive people and crosses for those that have died. Both always in hands of a capricious Poseidon, who in some times gives support but in others, darkest,  demands his tribute.

27. Despedida.

Me hubiera gustado poder despedirme de ti, rodeada por la más impenetrable de las oscuridades, mi nave, abocada a un fin irremediable, se desmiembra con sollozos de metal rechinante. En el puente, como único tripulante a bordo en una misión sin retorno, mi rostro es bañado por la azulada luz de la bitácora donde escribo estas, mis probablemente últimas palabras, para ti, a la espera de que el lejano futuro rescate este pecio del olvido y mi mensaje te pudiera ser entregado. Te quiero, te he querido siempre, desde el primer instante en que te vi, y solo lamento el no haber podido ser la persona que necesitabas, no saber estar a tu lado, las largas ausencias...instantes, horas, días..., que ahora se me antojan desperdiciados. Los meses pasados desde nuestra separación no han conseguido que olvide ni un solo detalle de ti. Me cala hasta los huesos la pena por no poder de nuevo contemplarte, abrazarte, sentirte... más que lo sombrío de mi propio destino. Adiós amor.

Me hubiera gustado poder despedirme de ti, sentada en la arena de esta playa que tantas veces recorrimos juntos tomados de la mano, permito que las olas amigas se acerquen cautelosamente a mojar mi cuerpo y que con ello me brinden el consuelo por tu ausencia. Siempre he sabido que tu y yo somos uno, y que todas tus ausencias no te eran gratas ni deseadas, tus actos siempre tuvieron en el fondo presente mi bienestar y en definitiva que estabas luchando por los dos. Por ello no necesito que una comitiva que llama a mi puerta con gesto afectado me relate formalmente los hechos reales o ficticios por los que habrías de ser considerado un héroe, porque para mi siempre lo has sido, y por ello, este hijo tuyo al que ya nunca podrás conocer y que crece dentro de mi llevará tu nombre, y en cada día de su vida veré en sus ojos al padre al que tanto amé.

26. Igrexa de san Domingos de Bonaval e a exposición On the road.

Estas imaxes recollen parte da exposición denominada On the road, que se realiza en diversos puntos de Santiago de Compostela entre eles na igrexa de san Domingos de Bonaval. A construción baleira é o telón de fondo perfecto para unha mostra de arte moderno, onde a pedra e o vidro, a luz e as sombras, a escuridade e a cor producen unha interesnte percepción para os sentidos.

These pictures shows the art exposition called On the Road in Santiago de Compostela, inside san Domingos de Bonaval church. An empty construction is the perfect place for a modern art composition, stone and glass, light and shadow, darkness and colour, it´s an unique and interesting percepcion for your senses.
