Corner View: September
September is the best month in Salalah. The blanket of mist and drizzle of the summer has lifted, leaving the mountains beautifully green and covered with wild flowers. The temperature is in the upper 20s and the skies are pale blue, with just a hint of cloud. One thing, perhaps more than any other, that tells you autumn is arriving is the fact that the meadows are dotted with pairs of storks migrating southwards after nesting on the rooftops of Europe.

Hi Ian! Thanks for stopping by! Wish I could make pictures like you!
ReplyDeleteI love The Aleph. I re-discovered Borges ( and reconciled with him!) years ago while assisting to a creative writing lab in Spanish. He was a complicated person; but a great writer. As for The Aleph, it is a fascinating short story about a mystic experience, about a revenge, ,and impossible love for a woman; most of this topics are frequent in his works, like "The Zair", or "Emma Zunz" also in "The Aleph" collection of short stories. I love especially "Emma Zunz".
A curiosity: The inspiration for The Aleph, was a caleidoscope, and the story was dedicated to the only woman he ever loved, the uruguaian writer Estela Canto.
It was a pleasure to share with you this post! Ciao
Salalah has so many faces...
ReplyDeleteI have been away too long. Have to read the adventures you had during the last few months. Looking forward to read about Bhutan.
Have a great week in your beautiful part of the world,
♥ Jeannette
I love these shots. They make the storks look as regal as swans (note to the latter, please, do not get upset, you're still the theme of my favourite ballet). Yes, autumn is finally here! Yippee!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.

ReplyDeleteRecently my oldest son (age 7) asked THE QUESTION.. "Where do babies come from?"
ReplyDeleteFor a minute I seriously thought about blaming it on the STORKS.
Instead I replied, "It's a bit complicated. I'll explain when you're older."
To which he replied, "Just tell me now and I'll let you know whether I understand or not."
HA!
hey - i wonder if those are jane's storks!
