Southern Corners 37 - November at Girona

 

It was the last morning of my stay at Girona and the light was so fresh and the colors so crispy that I shortened my breakfast and went with my camera a few steps from our hotel to take some last impressions of this beautiful city. 

Time flys and I can't believe that this was at 2018! 

The Onyar (Onyar in Catalan, Undarius in Latin) is a Spanish river in Girona, Catalonia that begins at the Guilleries massif at the apex of the Catalan Transversal Range and the Pre-Coastal Range. It joins the Ter at the city of Girona, and crosses the city from south to north, separating the city into the old part (on the right side) and the more modern part (on the left side).

Photography can be a way into worlds and memories
that words sometimes fail to convey.

Stacy Martin

The best light was on the river as if this beautiful reflection would say, come back soon! And I did so!

Girona und Rilke - Erinnerung - Southern Corners 17

Erinnerung

Und du wartest, erwartest das Eine,
das dein Leben unendlich vermehrt;
das Mächtige, Ungemeine,
das Erwachen der Steine,
Tiefen, dir zugekehrt.

Es dämmern im Bücherständer
die Bände in Gold und Braun;
und du denkst an durchfahrene Länder,
an Bilder, an die Gewänder

wiederverlorener Fraun.
Und da weißt du auf einmal: das war es.
Du erhebst dich, und vor dir steht
eines vergangenen Jahres

Angst und Gestalt und Gebet.

Rainer Maria Rilke, 1875 - 1926

“So, you see, my heart is held forever by this place," she said. "I cannot leave.” 

― Susanna Kearsley

So it's for me with Girona, I've the feeling that I belong to this special place. Everything inside and around this marvelous city and region feels so right and wonderful to me and this place has stolen a big part of my heart.  So I cannot leave ...

Girona - a jewel at Catalonia

“As we get older, the biggest things that we will remember are the times that we spent with our friends. The good times are always good and we always know how to make the best out of everything. Friends are often fleeting, but the memories we make with them will last for the rest of our lives. Memories with friends make up the majority of our memories.”


Last November I've absolved a gorgeous Watercolor Workshop with Endre Penovác, perfectly organized by Angela Barbi, EPC Art Courses in this beautiful and very charming city of Girona.  We'd a great and intensive time with hard work, fantastic excursions, lovely dinners and a fantastic group with so kind and inspiring new friends from all over the world.
