Free topic: A Personal Voyage

Hello there This time I didn’t really know what to talk about, so I started thinking about some issues from my childhood. I remember when I was a kid I used to play on my computer and review the famous ‘Encarta’. One day my mom came and gave It to my sister and me a CD.  That CD contained the famous TV series 'Cosmos: A personal Voyage'. The series was produced in 1978 and 1979. Despite that, it had incredible special effects and a great montage. What I admire most about the series are the incredible landscapes and its producer, Carl Sagan.  Music is another highlight: it fits perfectly with each scene and is composed by the famous Greek composer Vangelis.  I remember that with this series I began to be interested in science fiction themes, the universe and to have my first existential doubts.  If you are interested in this type of subject, I invite you to search on youtube: Cosmos. It is really a great program and deserves to be valued  To finish,

A photograph you like

                                                      Paperback Writer Hello there, the picture which I most like was taken at Chiswick House in west London, England. The photo was taken by Robert Whittaker on May 1966 and it’s a coloured photograph. In this picture there are four persons and they are wearing mostly a black suit with their musical instruments.  They represent the rock attitude of the 60’s. In this photo you can see that two of them are smoking and with sunglasses. On the left you can see the drummer Ringo Starr with two rings on his right hand and he is sitting in a concrete block. Next to him, you can see George Harrison holding a Gibson SG guitar and in the middle are John Lennon and Paul McCartney sitting in one of the branches of a large tree holding a Epiphone guitar and a Hofner bass guitar, respectively. I like this photo because it shows the beauty of the nature and it’s an omen of the psychedelic age.
