Describing a Photo (2)

Juegos de luz en la Selva de Tailandia

In this photo we can see a beautiful lake, that seems clear of contaminations. In the background we can see a blue waterfall and in the bottom left part a tree with orange leaves. We can also see some tree leaves floating in the lake.

I chosed this photo because it's one of the most beautiful forests in the world and it really makes a quite impresion of it.If you see this photo the only thing that comes to your mind is : DETERMINATION, BEAUTY, and RELAX.

Describing a photo

Picture of Mexican border


Okay, In this photo we can see the grand wall that separates USA from the rest of South-America like Mexico. This wall is about 1.204 Km of long, even it's inside the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacifist Ocean. We can see in the photos that the walls passes trough towns and separates a town in one half is Mexico and the other one is from USA. Many people didn't agree with that and tried to tear apart the wall but there are guards around the wall and nobody can approach if you don't have documents.

Seeing this photo I feel sad, because this is a clear sign of racism of USA and Mexico and that there are no signs of mercy of USA for people of Mexico that tries to enter into USA in search of work because Mexico is in a poor state right now. We can also say that those photos are striking and shocking.

Fate or Coincidence?

Many people think that the life has a fate that it's written from the beginning of our lives. But, we must also talk about the people that doesn't believe in fate and thinks that all the actions that happen in you life are just mere coincidences. So, if we think about it in a religious way we see that everyone who believe in God/Al·là, etc. Say that their fate is written from the beginning and the meaning of life is to pray to god to have mercy with their souls. The other way is like: You don't believe in FATE but in the ACTIONS that guides you in differents ways your life. For example, if you choose a way to a park you can find a girl that in the future could be your wife, or choose the other way and die by a car. Those facts, are just mere facts that happened by COINCIDENCE. Many philosophers sought the meaning of life, but, nobody found it because WE CAN'T, WE DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF BE ALIVE UNTIL WE DIE. So this question in my opinion it's ridiculous, anybody can think about ther fate in different ways: A curse, a coincidence, an action, karma, sins... . So feel free to think wathever you want!

Olivia Arthur

I chose one of the magnum photographers, her name's :  Olivia Arhur 


Olivia was born in London and grew up in the UK. She studied mathematics at Oxford University and photojournalism at the London College of Printing.



She began working as a photographer in 2003 after moving to Delhi and was based in India for two and a  half years. 


She continues to return to India - where her long-term work has been supported by a grant from the Fondation Jean-Luc Lagadere in Paris - and to work in London where she lives.


In 2006 she left for Italy to take up a one-year residency with Fabrica, during which she began working on a series about women and the East-West cultural divide. This work has taken her to the border between Europe and Asia, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Undertale



I chose one of my favourite games until now because I played it and finished it like 5 times in a row, 2 weeks ago. I really liked it because it has 3 different endings, we call them in-game "Routes", one of the routes is called "The True Pacifist Route", the opposite of that route is "The Genocide Route", and if you do some things of genocide route and the  pacifist one you end up with the "Neutral Route".  The story is about a place underground were the monsters were sealed by 7 powerful human magicians,  the humans won the "Human and Monsters War" and the monsters had to live underground, under the surface were the humans live. From here comes the name "Undertale" because it's a game about the story of the underground with one human who fell trough a hole in Mt. Ebott, the only entrance to the underground. I could  talk about the endings but I don't want to do spoilers, so I won't tell you! . Oh , of course I must say that the soundtracks of this game are exciting, touching, creepy sometimes (depends wich route you're doing). It's cool for me because there isn't a person singing the song, it's just instrumental. I will show you some right now: 


Imagine this song playing in the background when you fight one of the most difficult battles in the game. Kinda exciting isn't it?

And there are some touching  soundtracks like this one : 



Sorry, I forgot to tell you that this game was created by Toby Fox, the soundtracks included. And the has a category of "RPG" (A.K.A: Role-Playing Game), because when you fight monsters while you are doing the route you can "FIGHT" to defeat them, and gain EXP and LOVE  or "ACT" for then do  "MERCY" and "SPARE"  to spare the monster. If you have low HP you can use items too! So if you're worried about dying you can think about take with you some items before you fight bosses and other stuff to make battles easier! The goal of a battle is not to be touched  by incoming objects, you must protect you SOUL wich is a Heart: 



 I must tell you that the True Pacifist Route was the first one I did and  in the ending it makes you cry ( I cried some too ) , also the story has some unfold mysteries too.

That's all for now! If you're interested in this game you can buy it for 9,99€ in Steam if you like...
