My experiences of living as a seasoned immigrant in Cordova (Andalusia): humour, culture, history, illustrated. Also includes poetry, quotes, thoughts, and nature.
Hi folks! I hope that you are keeping well in health and spirits…
I just wanted to share a few sunrise and sunset photos that I took over the last couple of days, from here in Posadas (province of Cordova in Andalusia).
Well, that’s it for now. Thanks for visiting! Take care xxx
Hello all!
Yes, I know I should be busy translating and not get distracted by my blog, but I just couldn’t resist putting in this quick one of yesterday’s gorgeous sunset. (Thanks to my daughter’s phone the photos have come out quite well this time — haha!)
The photos remind me of one of the esoteric quotes of Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, the greatest Sufi mystic and poet in the Persian language:
«Only from the heart you can touch the sky.»
Thanks for visiting!
Take care — bye for now xxx
‘Your light is more magnificent than sunrise or sunset…Its the Light that outshines all’
— Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī (Balkh 1207-1273) the greatest Sufi mystic and poet in the Persian language
And here is yesterday’s sunset…
Take care! xxx
Greetings!
The sunset over Posadas (Cordova) last night was inspiring…
The Sunset, Woven of Soft Lights — Katharine Lee Bates (1895-1929, Massachusetts)
The sunset, woven of soft lights
And tender colors, lingers late,
As looking back on all day’s dreary plights,
Compassionate;
— The foolish day of hopes so high,
Who counts her hours by blunders now,
Yet wears at last this jewel-crown of sky
Upon her brow.
Out to eternity she goes,
Not for her failure scorned, but see!
Our poor day flushed with beauty, one more rose
On God’s rose-tree

Hello all! I just couldn’t resist putting up these photos of the morning sunrise and yesterday’s sunset. Rain’s forecast for today so it’s got a bit gloomy since then!
(You can see more of our local sunsets here and here)
Thank you for taking a look — take care! xxx
