Summer: a disconnection time [Eng-Esp]
A big hello to the "Summer Vibes" community. Today I'm here to share what have been a few much-needed days of disconnection. This year has been a year of challenges, and I still have a few tests to overcome before the end of the year.
This isn't the first time I've taken a few days off for this purpose... not knowing anything about what's happening in the world.
I already mentioned in my previous post that I had no intention of browsing social media, including Hive, during those days off.
This intention included not taking any photos for a possible post. However, here's the post I dedicate to that break I took, and it's packed with photographs.
Un saludo muy grande comunidad a la comunidad "Summer Vibes". Hoy vengo a compartir lo que han sido unos días de desconexión más que necesarios. Este año ha sido un año de retos y todavía me queda alguna prueba por superar hasta final de año.
No es el primer año en el que me tomo unos días libres con este fin... no saber mada de lo que ocurre en el mundo.
Ya avisé en mi anterior publicación que no tenía intención de andar por redes sociales, inluido Hive, durante esos días de descanso.
Este propósito incluía la intención de no tomar fotos para una posible publicación. Sin embargo, aquí está la publicación que dedico a ese paréntesis que me tomé y... bien repleteta de fotografías.

Arriving at Terminal 4 of Madrid Airport is quite a spectacle if you look up from above.
The wavy shapes are interspersed with circular openings that let in light from outside. For my part, I've always found great beauty in the design of this modern roof.
As I've already mentioned, I had no intention of taking photographs to share in a post... But suddenly, I came across a small collection of fans and said to myself... I'll take some photographs for @mipiano, as this month is Fan Month.
As explained to me, these fans were small works of art handmade in Valencia. Once the photos were taken, I told myself again, no more... I had to disconnect.
Llegar a la Terminal 4 del aeropuerto de Madrid es todo un espectáculo si se mira hacia las alturas.
Las formas onduladas se suceden intercaladas por aperturas circulares que dejan entran la luz del exterior. Por mi parte, siempre he encontrado mucha belleza en el diseño de esta moderna techumbre.
Como ya he expresado no tenía intención de tomar fotografías para compartir en una publicación... Pero de pronto me enontré con una pequeña colección de abanicos y me dije... tomaré unas fotografías para @mipiano que este mes es el mes del abanico.
Según me cexplicaron estos abanicos eran pequeñas obras de arte realizadas a mano en Valencia. Una vez tomadas las fotos me volví a repetir que ya ninguna más... que había que desconectar.

Inside the plane, I took more photographs... but this time they were just for me. I don't know if the same thing happens to you, but I'm still fascinated by the fact that a mass of metal can fly like a bird. I don't deny that humanity has left behind true feats of engineering for posterity... but flying, flying... only the most modern of humanity has participated in this miracle of technology.
Dentro del avión volví a tomar nuevas fotografías... pero en esta ocasión iban a ser sólo para mí. Desconozco si les ocurre lo mismo, pero me sigue fascinando que una mole de metal pueda volar como un ave. No niego que la humanidad ha ido dejando para la posteridad auténticas obras de ingeniería... pero volar, volar... sólo la humanidad más moderna ha participado de este milagro de la técnica.
From what I heard when I returned to Spain from this trip, it seems I was spared a serious heat wave. This is one of the reasons I try to travel to northern Europe during the month of August... to escape the heat of Madrid.
The truth is, it was quite refreshing to go from the hot Castilian summer 🔥 to the Swedish spring, my apologies... I meant the Swedish summer. 😀
Por lo que me comentaron a la vuelta a España de este viaje parece que me libré de una buena ola de calor. Este es uno de los motivos por los que procuro viajar al norte de Europa durante en el mes de agosto... huir del calor de Madrid.
La verdad es que fue bastante reconfortante pasar del caluroso verano castellano 🔥 a la primavera sueca, mis disculpas... quería decir al verano sueco. 😀
Although at first I fulfilled all my goals with iron discipline, as the days went by I began to interact on Hive... some votes, some comments if I was mentioned in a post... and I started taking photos thinking about the possibility of a new post for Hive... 😁
Aunque en los primeros momentos cumplí con férrea disciplina todos mis propósitos, conforme iban pasando los días comencé a interactuar en Hive... algún voto, algún comentario si era mencionado en alguna publicación.. y comencé a tomar fotos pensando en la posibilidad de una nueva publicación para Hive... 😁
Since a few days had passed before I started taking pictures, this post only captures a few examples of the beauty of the place.
Although I couldn't leave out two murals that I love. I don't know if you know, but Malmö is known as the city of comics, and many of its streets and walls feature pop art references. But that's for another post.
Como antes de comenzar a tomar fotografías pasaron unos días... en esta publicación hay pocos ejemplos de la belleza del lugar.
Aunque no podían faltar dos murales que me encantan. No se si lo saben pero Malmö es conocida como la ciudad del comic y en muchas de sus calles y paredes hay referencias a este arte pop. Pero esto será para otra publicación.

The only disappointment, a small disappointment, was the small number of birds I saw compared to other years. I especially missed the large clouds of jackdaws moving like dark waves beneath the clouds.
However, I did encounter a large, saucer-eyed owl that stared at me for a long time...
La única decepción, pequeña decepción, ha sido la poca cantidad de pájaros que pude ver en comparación de otros años. Especialmente he hechado de menos las grandes nubes de grajillas moviéndose como oscuras olas bajo las nubes.
Sin embargo me encontré con un gran búho con ojos de plato que durante un buen rato puso su mirada sobre mí persona...
Continuing with the boycott of my initial vacation plan, on Friday the 22nd I attended a concert by Sugar Hill Gang and The Furious Five, two of the great groups from the old, very old school of Hip-Hop. A school so remote in time that the term Hip-Hop didn't exist... it was all simply Rap.
In a very festive atmosphere, I had the opportunity to listen to classics like "White Lines," "Rapper's Delight," and anthems like "The Message," four decades after their release. All in a festive atmosphere, far removed from the machismo, the mafia world, and the drugs so prevalent in contemporary Hip-Hop.
Continuando con el boicot a mi propósito inicial de descanso, el viernes 22 acudí al concierto de Sugar Hill Gang y The Furious Five, dos de los grandes grupos de la vieja, muy vieja, escuela del Hip-Hop. Una escuela tan remota en el tiempo que el término Hip-Hop no existía... todo era simplemente Rap.
En un ambiente muy festivo tuve la oportunidad de escuchar a una distancia de cuatro décadas de su estreno clásicos como White Lines, Rapper's Delight o himnos como The Message. Todo en un ambiente festivo y muy alejado del machismo, del mundo de la mafia y las drogas tan en boga en el Hip Hop contemporáneo.
At this point, when the publication is halfway through... I can't help but mention that, speaking of collections... I didn't just come across a fan collection... I also came across a board game collection, and I was reminded of...
En este momento en el cual ya el ecuador de la publicación quedó atrás... no puedo dejar de mencionar que hablando de colecciones... no sólo me encontré con una de abanicos... también me encontré con una de juegos de mesa y volví a acordarme de...

On the last day, I dedicated myself to walking through one of Malmö's great green spaces, Pildammsparken.
A park with a huge pond and enormous trees. A place where you can stroll peacefully, enjoying the different landscapes offered by this vast expanse of vegetation and water.
I think the images speak for themselves, reflecting the beauty of the landscape, which can be observed from different perspectives. Sometimes the vegetation appears organized, as if designed with a set square and protractor; at other times, it appears wild and unruly.
El último día lo dediquá a pasear por uno de los grandes espacios verdes de Malmö, Pildammsparken.
Un parque con un enorme estanque y árboles enormes. Un sitio por el que se puede pasear con tranquilidad dsifrutando de los diferentes paisajes que ofrece esta enorme bolsa de vegetación y agua.
Creo que las imágenes hablan por si mismas de la preciosidad del paisaje que se puede observar desde diferentes perspectivas. En ocasiones la vegetación aparece ordenada, como diseñada con escuadra y cartabón, en otras se muestra salvaje e insumisa.

Sunsets in this part of the world at this time of year are beautiful. The next day I returned to Madrid and took advantage of that afternoon to take my last walk in the reddish, dim light of the twilight.
Los atardeceres en esta zona del planeta y en estas fechas son hermosos. Al día sigueinte volvía a Madrid y aproveché esa tarde para dar mi último paseo bajo la rojiza y tenue luz del ocaso.

I arrived in Madrid rested, which was what I intended with my trip, and I'd say rested despite the thwarting of my initial plans to completely disconnect.
When I got home, an unexpected friend (I'm not sure) was waiting for me... guess who?
Llegué a Madrid descansado que era lo que pretendía con mi viaje, y diría que descansado a pesar del boicot a mis propósitos iniciales de desconexión absoluta.
Cuando llegué a casa me estaba eseperando un amigo o amiga (no lo tengo claro) inesperado/a... adivinan, ¿quién?
I hope you liked this post.
Thank you for joining me here.
Espero que hayas disfrutado de esta publicación.
Gracias por acompañarme hasta aquí.

Resulta tan difícil desprenderse de Hive que entiendo lo que te sucedió jajaja.... Me pasó algo similar en mi reciente viaje a la playa de Varadero donde no pretendía usar el móvil para nada y ya ves, también sucumbí a la tentación jajaja...
Por fortuna para nosotros pudiste hacer estas capturas que nos llevan a sitios y momentos muy agradables de ver y escuchar. ¡Gracias por compartirlos!
Thank you for visiting and commenting... I really appreciate it. From your posts about Varadero, I'll believe that you had no intention of taking any photos... but you ended up with two fantastic posts.
A big hug.
Hello!
Thank you for these kind words!
Big hugs!
Omg, what a great Swedish
springsummer holidays that you had!! Haha, a decision not to take photos...😆 and look how many beautiful images we see here that make us walk there in Malmö with you, see the nice hand fans, fly in the plane and see the shadow of same in the field, go to a concert and even be greeted by the winged inhabitant of your balcony. Awesome summary of your vacation time! 👏Thank you very much @mipiano for dedicating such a lovely comment to me. I'll tell you that, as I heard somewhere, man proposes and God disposes... and so a post that my reason dictated should not exist remained...
A big hug and thank you very much for creating this space. 😀 🤗
And thank you for not forgetting about the summer vibes corner 😉
Btw, the fans from the airport are very, very nice, I see some personalities from artworks who usually live in El Prado haha, a family member of Philip IV ;) and the two red ones (the purple and red with yellow patterns) are so elegant and outstanding. Still, my favourites are these two:
Good morning @mipiano, it's not easy for me to choose just a few fans from among all of them... I know I wouldn't choose the ones from the Prado... But I have no doubt that you have very good taste. The two fans you have chosen are very elegant and two small works of art. I also saw birds on one of them. 😃
Have a great day! 🤗
What beautiful landscapes Pildammsparken has to offer! Truly a paradise of nature, greenery and tranquillity. I think that was what I liked most about the trip. But to tell the truth, the murals cannot be left out, and even less so the fans, which are beautiful. It's good for all of us that you haven't completely disconnected during these days of rest, otherwise you wouldn't be bringing us these beauties in photos.
The flowers of the Swedish spring, I mean... summer are beautiful, and that owl is my emissary; there are many of them all over the world, and it was staring right at me!
I won't forget the board game collection; they're fabulous too! Thank you so much for this tour during these days of disconnection. It's been fabulous!

Hi @avdesing, I'll be honest with you... I actually made the post out of selfishness... I thought it was a good way to get a wonderful comment like the one you left me.
The park is a little green gem with a wide variety of birds, including kingfishers. I went by the pond twice to see if I could get a picture of them... but that day they must have been somewhere else... I don't know... they didn't show up.
There's one mural I love that's missing, but this year it was covered by some kind of scaffolding... I hope they haven't removed it. Here's a black and white photo from last year...
Thanks again... I don't think you can imagine how grateful I am.
It's a spectacular publication!!! And that mural is beautiful! You know, there was a mural painted above it, thank goodness I reviewed it a long time ago, because it's no longer there and it's a shame. I hope that mural still exists because it's very beautiful!! Thank you!🤗
... yo también espero que ese mural siga allí esperando a que lo visite de nuevo y pueda traerlo para acá, a Hive.
Te deseo una gran tarde.
Gracias, gracias 🫂
Igualmente!!! Muy buena tarde!🤗😃
🤗👋
Quedé encantado con las imágenes de paisajes naturales, realmente lo felicito pienso que disfruto mucho el viaje
Muchas gracias @encuentro, que no todo lo que publico tienen que ser sobre cosas raras. Me ha encantado que disfrutaras de los paisajes naturales... se que que tienes muy buena conexión con la Naturaleza.
Un abrazo muy grande.
Buenos días, querido amigo @enraizar
haces muy bien de tomarte días libres y te desconectes del mundo, ojalá todos podamos imitarte y hacer lo mismo, siempre es necesario hacerlo para renovar y cargar las energías
Qué preciosa colección de coloridas fotografías, me encantaron los abanicos, me recordaron a mi abuela, ella los amaba
Soy un apasionado del arte callejero, preciosos los murales que nos das a conocer
Qué pena que no hayas dado con tantas aves como deseabas, el búho es precioso
Qué ciudad tan encantara, con mucha presencia natural como me gusta. Aprecios que nos haya dado a conocer esta hermosa experiencia
Que tengas un dia hermoso
Good morning, dear friend @enraizar
You're doing a great job taking days off and disconnecting from the world. I hope we can all imitate you and do the same. It's always necessary to renew and recharge our energy.
What a beautiful collection of colorful photographs! I loved the fans; they reminded me of my grandmother; she loved them.
I'm passionate about street art. The murals you showed us are beautiful.
It's a shame you didn't find as many birds as you hoped; the owl is gorgeous.
What a charming city, with so much natural beauty, just as I like. I appreciate you sharing this wonderful experience with us.
Have a beautiful day.
Buenas tardes mi estimado @juifer, ya he comprobado que te gusta el arte callejero. Malmö te iba a gustar tanto por su naturaleza como por sus obras callejeras... una pena el clima... casi no tienen verano ni primavera.
La cuestión de las aves ha sido extraño, siempre he visto muchas por todas partes... para mí ha sido un misterio. Pregunté pero nadie me ha sabido dar una respuesta. Me alegro de que te gustaran los abananicos y de que hayas disrutado de este paseo.
Te deseo un gran día.
Good afternoon, my dear @juifer, I've already seen that you like street art. You would have liked Malmö for both its nature and its street art... it's a shame about the weather... they hardly have any summer or spring.
The question about the birds was strange; I've always seen so many everywhere... it's been a mystery to me. I asked, but no one could give me an answer. I'm glad you liked the little fans and that you enjoyed this walk.
I wish you a great day.

Hello! I think you have had a very nice holiday and that makes me happy because I am glad when my friends have a good time and find joy and peace. I guess you know that like others here I'm glad you thought of writing this post and sharing with us all this beauty.
Your winged friend will always be with you. It is a life story that is already part of yours.... But what a joy to be welcomed like this after missing a few days.
I am saying goodbye with these words. I will be absent too... for a few days. A hug.
Hi @nanixxx, I've noticed I've been very well received on this return. I've missed you all. Enjoy these next few days. Big hugs.
Los murales de Malmo son encantadores, me ha gustado bastante el que has mostrado. Las colecciones de juegos son estupendas, ya se de que te has recordado 😀
Parece que no puedes resistirte a pensar en hive, vayas donde vayas, no se cuan bueno pueda ser eso....
Un !HUG
Definitivamente, las aves son tu animal tótem o tal vez lo han sido este año @enraizar 🤗, siempre te acompañan y que belleza que tu amigo inesperado te recibiera, es el mismo de la otra publicación, ¿no? 🤗. Me encantó el paseo y las fotos se ven hermosas, no te culpo por no cumplir del todo lo de la desconexión, Hive es adictivo de cierta manera jajaja. Un gran abrazo, saludos.
Hola mi estimada @vezo, creo que este año definitivamente he descubierto un animal tótem nuevo... Las palomas. Otro que no tengo claro: el colibrí. Que se une (n) a mí animal de poder: la araña.
Sobre Hive, habrá que incluirlo en el listado de sustancias adictivas. 😃
Te deseo un gran día.
🤗
Feliz regreso, de tus vacaciones, aveces no te conectas de ciertas cosas, pero bueno me gusto ver tus fotografías y la ave que te estaba esperando en tu hogar, saludos.
Gracias por la visita y el comentario, en ocasiones no se puede desconectar del todo... Pero fueron unos excelentes días.
Un abrazo, @mariiale1979.
Que bacanas fotos, los abanicos, los juegos de mesas, los aviones, que bacano.
QUE vacaciones mas bacanas.
!ALIVE
!HUG
Muy buenaa vacaciones, muchas gracias @suisver por la visita.
Un abrazo.
That's happened to me a lot. I feel overwhelmed and don't even want to interact with social media, and I always end up taking photos for potential posts. @enraizar, it's great to see you're active. You gave us a tremendous post, a bit of everything, with music included. Awesome 🤗🎉
Hello @karelysk89, it's great to hear from you. In addition to my vacation days, I've been disconnected from Discord for a while. There's time for everything... to disconnect and to come back at the right moment.
You know I wish you the best, un abrazo muy grande. 🤗
Hola @karelysk89, es un gusto saber de tí. Si además de los días de vacaciones llevo tiempo desconectado de los discord. Hay tiempo para todo.. para desconectar y para volver en el momento oportuno.
Ya sabes que te deseo lo mejor, un abrazo muy grande.
Hello, my dear reader 😃 How wonderful that you were able to escape summer for a while. You certainly miss those days 🌅 without connection. But I couldn't help but take photos for when it's time to get active 🤣. I liked the owl statue. An excellent trip 😊 with an unexpected concert. And I think the friend who waited for you was the terrifying summer 👀
Thank you so much for visiting 😊 and for keeping me company... And yes, the terrifying summer awaited me.
A big hug, Sarix.
