La tala afectará a especies como el pico dorsiblanco y el visón europeo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Magnesitas de Navarra (MAGNA) viola el espacio protegido, por la vía de los hechos consumados. La Empresa no ha cumplido con ninguna de las condiciones previas que impone la Declaración de Impacto Ambiental al proyecto y&amp;nbsp;pretende dejar sin efecto la sentencia que tendrá que dictar el TSJ de Navarra al recurso interpuesto por SEO/BirdLife y por la Coordinadora Monte Alduide. &lt;br /&gt;El 24 de diciembre a las 20:00 horas y cuando los vecinos de Zilbeti preparaban la tradicional cena en familia, recibieron un bando firmado por el Presidente del Concejo en el que se comunicaba que Magnesitas de Navarra iba a extraer 800 toneladas de mineral del paraje de Antzeri en Legua Acotada, dentro del Espacio Protegido de la Red Natura 2000 “Zona de Especial Conservación de Monte Alduide”.&amp;nbsp;En el mismo escrito se advertía del corte de hayas para la ampliación del camino de acceso al punto de extracción a lo largo de 400 metros de vía. Se advertía también del paso de camiones con mineral por el casco urbano de Zilbeti. &lt;br /&gt;Estos trabajos, que se salen totalmente del proyecto presentado por Magnesitas de Navarra y no están autorizados por la Declaración de Impacto Ambiental emitida por el Gobierno de Navarra, tampoco están amparados por una Autorización de Afecciones Ambientales y no disponen de los permisos preceptivos de la Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro que debe dar su visto bueno al quedar afectadas las cabeceras del río Arga en zonas protegidas.&lt;br /&gt;Para apoyar una acción urgente contra este proyecto firma en este enlace: &lt;a href="http://actuable.es/peticiones/salvemos-zilbeti"&gt;ciberacción Zilbeti&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706203519545224229-5092505101245026674?l=juanmvarela.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/feeds/5092505101245026674/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2011/12/tala-ilegal-ilegal-logging.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/5092505101245026674'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/5092505101245026674'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2011/12/tala-ilegal-ilegal-logging.html' title='Tala ilegal · Ilegal logging'/><author><name>Juan Varela Simó</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10889939561660556506</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S540cXqC-RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/HVIFAMhfff8/S220/P1040469.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0TVPCtjfC-k/Tvi0ADTtX3I/AAAAAAAAApE/NWoPDLxIivI/s72-c/ciberzilbeti.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706203519545224229.post-5435045531313279334</id><published>2011-12-19T19:05:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-19T19:08:45.486+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Felices fiestas · Season's greetings</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

En revisar la publicación han colaborado Juan Moreno (Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales), Tomás Santos (Universidad Complutense) y Juan Oñate (Universidad Autónoma). Además cuenta con la colaboración desinteresada, entre otros, del fotógrafo Carlos Palacín Eloisa Matheu (ALOSA, sonidos de la naturaleza), y yo mismo. La obra ha sido publicada por Pedro Sánchez (editorial Doce Calles) con el apoyo de la librería del Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales y será presentada el 22 de septiembre, a las 12:00h en la Sala de Conferencias de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

Tiempos en que se confunde la zafiedad, el griterío y la prédica del catastrofismo,&amp;nbsp;con la exposición clara de los hechos y la verdad. Tiempos de apropiación de los medios de comunicación por los poderes politicos y económicos. Y tiempos en que el consumo impera como única alternativa en la busca de la felicidad.

S. XVIII&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Regresamos de un corto viaje a Viena donde se estrenaba una magnífica película cuyo reparto ha sido dirigido por mi mujer, Laura. Brown, black and white (Erwin Wagenhofer, 2011) trata del tráfico de niños marroquíes a través del territorio español, para llegar hasta Centroeuropa escondidos en camiones, con la complicidad de empresarios agrícolas de Almería. No habría que perdérsela cuando se estrene en España, sobre todo porque evidencia una verdad incómoda.&lt;br /&gt;El caso es que aprovechamos el viaje para hacer un buen tour por toda el impresionante centro histórico de la ciudad, sin olvidar los museos: el Belvedere, el Albertina, la casa de Mozart y otros.&lt;br /&gt;En el Albertina estaban las conocidas acuarelas de Durero, humildemente colocadas en una pared, casi de paso, los tres maravillosos dibujos: Liebre Joven, Carraca muerta y Ala de Carraca.&lt;br /&gt;En el Kunsthistorisches Museum nos topamos con una notable colección de obras de Franz Snyders, con temas faunísticos -aves, peces- similares a los que encontramos en nuestra prospección para el libro de Las Aves en El Prado. Además me sorprendieron algunos apuntes sobre tabla de animales domésticos, obra de Jan Brueghel.&lt;br /&gt;Otro interesantísimo artista del que había bastante obra en el museo Belvedere es Philip Ferdinand de Hamilton. Me llamó sobre todo la atención la obra &lt;em&gt;Red Kite defeated by Icelandics&lt;/em&gt; y un formidable retrato de cuatro buitres de distintas especies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nO7R7y2OD4M/TVo6y6k-TJI/AAAAAAAAAe8/U87VHtlnjw8/s1600/Brueghel2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" h5="true" height="239" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nO7R7y2OD4M/TVo6y6k-TJI/AAAAAAAAAe8/U87VHtlnjw8/s320/Brueghel2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;Estudio de animales (Tierstudien).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;Jan Brueghel el viejo.

A film not to miss&amp;nbsp;even if it shows an inconvenient truth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;The fact is that we take the trip to make a good tour around the impressive historical city center, not to mention the museums: the Belvedere, the Albertina, Mozart's house&amp;nbsp;and others. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;At the Albertina were the well-known watercolors of Durer. Humbly placed on a wall, almost in passing, the three beautiful studies: Young Hare,&amp;nbsp;A Roller Wing and&amp;nbsp;A dead Roller. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;In the Kunsthistorisches Museum we came across a remarkable collection of works by Franz Snyders, themed birds or&amp;nbsp;fish, and similar to those we found in our&amp;nbsp;quest for the book on the birds&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;El Prado. I also noticed&amp;nbsp;two unusual&amp;nbsp;oil sketches of domestic animals by Jan Brueghel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;Another interesting well represented artist in the Belvedere museum is Philip Ferdinand de Hamilton.&amp;nbsp;I was specially appealed by two oils&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Red Kite defeated by Icelandics&lt;/em&gt; and a formidable portrait of four vulture species.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706203519545224229-589627944810833446?l=juanmvarela.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/feeds/589627944810833446/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2011/02/viena-vienna.html#comment-form' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/589627944810833446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/589627944810833446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2011/02/viena-vienna.html' title='Viena · Vienna'/><author><name>Juan Varela Simó</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10889939561660556506</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S540cXqC-RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/HVIFAMhfff8/S220/P1040469.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-avngKB4fWiM/TVo6Kdfy-EI/AAAAAAAAAe4/NVz7s1KFnzc/s72-c/Hamilton.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706203519545224229.post-6057824973369532131</id><published>2011-02-07T18:02:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-25T18:50:18.738+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Ejemplares limitados · Signed copies</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TVAppY6envI/AAAAAAAAAe0/igcHn6Omsdc/s1600/Portada+Tremp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" h5="true" height="290" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TVAppY6envI/AAAAAAAAAe0/igcHn6Omsdc/s320/Portada+Tremp.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Hay 25 ejemplares del &lt;a href="http://es.scribd.com/full/43603864?access_key=key-f7fcff0801fs43vtqol"&gt;catálogo&lt;/a&gt; de mi exposición en Tremp firmados y numerados.

Aunque la ciudad ha crecido y ha perdido parte de su encanto en favor de un turismo cada vez más abundante, sigue siendo un placer pasear por las callejas de su zoco, perderse entre los puestos de comida de la Jamaa el Fna al caer la tarde, tomar un café en el France o visitar el jardín Majorelle restaurado por su último propietario Yves Saint Laurent. Marrakech es una de las ciudades más limpias de Marruecos y, desde luego, mucho más que muchas ciudades españolas. Es de esperar que la onda reivindicativa de Túnez llegue algún día a Marruecos y las conquistas sociales de otros países se instauren de una vez en el Magreb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TTnzkNoNcFI/AAAAAAAAAec/vG_4skTV3xE/s1600/Marrakech2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="239" s5="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TTnzkNoNcFI/AAAAAAAAAec/vG_4skTV3xE/s320/Marrakech2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #eeeeee;"&gt;Un puesto de artesanía bereber en el &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #eeeeee;"&gt;zoco de Marrakech&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Essauira ha crecido, y está llena de surfistas que no debían existir en la época en que Jimmy Hendrix la visitaba. De Essauira nos trajimos un par de juguetes fabricados con todo el ingenio y la creatividad del mundo y con la mayor escasez de medios&amp;nbsp;por un abuelo socarrón. También compré unas decenas de gramos de pigmentos naturales con nombres evocadores: rosa caddé, rojo coquelicot, azul majorelle, piedras de azul índigo, verde turquesa... a dirham y medio al gramo. Espero utilizarlos muy pronto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;﻿ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TTn00fvwBbI/AAAAAAAAAek/48iE34eFVtQ/s1600/Marrakech1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" s5="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TTn00fvwBbI/AAAAAAAAAek/48iE34eFVtQ/s320/Marrakech1.jpg" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #eeeeee;"&gt;El colorido de un puesto de hierbas &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #eeeeee;"&gt;aromáticas en el zoco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;﻿ &lt;span style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;I spent a few days of January in Marrakech and the coast of Essaouira. Although the city has grown and has lost some of its charm due to&amp;nbsp;increasing tourism,&amp;nbsp;ít's still&amp;nbsp;a pleasure to walk through the alleys of the souk, to get lost among the food stalls in the Jemaa el Fna in the evening, to drink a coffee in the "France" or visiting the Majorelle garden restored by&amp;nbsp;its last owner Yves Saint Laurent. Marrakech is one of the cleanest cities in Morocco and, of course, much more than many Spanish cities. It'll be desirable that the awakeness that is shaking Tunisia will reach Morocco and the social conquests of other countries will peacefully find its place in all the Maghreb.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Essaouira has grown and is full of surfers who were not there at the times that Jimmy Hendrix would visit it.&amp;nbsp;From Essaouira we brought a couple of toys made with great&amp;nbsp;scarcity of resources but&amp;nbsp;lots of ingenuity and creativity,&amp;nbsp;by a&amp;nbsp;cunning&amp;nbsp;oldman. I also bought a&amp;nbsp;provission of&amp;nbsp;natural pigments with evocative names: cadde pink, red coquelicot, majorelle blue, indigo blue stones, turquoise... a dirham and a half a gram. I hope to use them soon.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;﻿﻿ &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706203519545224229-700157681372996154?l=juanmvarela.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/feeds/700157681372996154/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2011/01/marrakech.html#comment-form' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/700157681372996154'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/700157681372996154'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2011/01/marrakech.html' title='Marrakech'/><author><name>Juan Varela Simó</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10889939561660556506</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S540cXqC-RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/HVIFAMhfff8/S220/P1040469.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TTnzkNoNcFI/AAAAAAAAAec/vG_4skTV3xE/s72-c/Marrakech2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706203519545224229.post-2272738333473547919</id><published>2011-01-14T10:53:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-14T10:57:18.564+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Próxima etapa, Huelva · Next stop, Huelva</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TTAZAO_6HsI/AAAAAAAAAeY/IqyqIw6Mivc/s1600/Milano+Negro.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="285" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TTAZAO_6HsI/AAAAAAAAAeY/IqyqIw6Mivc/s400/Milano+Negro.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Una vez desmontada la&amp;nbsp;muestra de Tremp, la próxima&amp;nbsp;exposición será&amp;nbsp;en Huelva.

Los embalajes por el suelo, la distribución de las obras en una secuencia más o menos coherente, el colgado de los cuadros (que ninguno quede torcido), las etiquetas, de cada uno... En total 34 obras entre óleos y acuarelas y 4 vitrinas con algunos de mis cuadernos de campo y originales de ilustraciones para libros. &lt;br /&gt;Antes de la inauguración dí una breve charla con imágenes de mi trabajo en el campo y en el estudio. Espero que no aburriera demasiado a la gente.&lt;br /&gt;Tengo que agradecer muy sinceramente al Ayuntamiento de Tremp y especialmente a su alcalde Victor Orrit, las enormes facilidades que me concedió para hacer posible esta exposición, y su presencia en la inauguración. También debo a mi gran amigo Eduardo de Juana la presentación, tanto de la exposición como del catálogo, y al Museo la cesión de su magnifico espacio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/juanvarela/?saved=1"&gt;Más fotos · More pictures&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;The usual chaos that precedes the opening at the Museum. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;The crates on the ground, the distribution of works in a more or less  coherent sequence, the hanging of pictures (checking that no one is twisted), the  labels of each one ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;34 works &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;in total&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;, including oils and watercolors, plus 4 showcases with some of my field sketchbooks and original illustrations for books.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;Before the opening I gave a brief talk with images of my work in the field and in the study. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;Hope I didn't not bore the audience too much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;I  have to give my most sincere thanks to the Tremp City Council and especially to  Mayor Victor Orrit, for the great support in making this  exhibition possible, and for their presence at the inauguration. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;I'm also thankful to my good friend Eduardo de Juana for his introduction, both to the exhibition and to the catalog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706203519545224229-4524438586391406447?l=juanmvarela.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/feeds/4524438586391406447/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/12/la-inauguracion-opening.html#comment-form' title='3 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/4524438586391406447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/4524438586391406447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/12/la-inauguracion-opening.html' title='La Inauguración · The opening'/><author><name>Juan Varela Simó</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10889939561660556506</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S540cXqC-RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/HVIFAMhfff8/S220/P1040469.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TQVlntd8S7I/AAAAAAAAAcc/IRT_fE2buZs/s72-c/P1010777+-+copia.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706203519545224229.post-1002268569926894031</id><published>2010-11-29T10:01:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-11-29T10:01:25.295+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Todo listo · Everything's ready</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TPNq6Ax6pLI/AAAAAAAAAcA/_cdjd4AX_o8/s1600/Cajas+Expo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TPNq6Ax6pLI/AAAAAAAAAcA/_cdjd4AX_o8/s320/Cajas+Expo.jpg" width="262" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya están enmarcadas y embaladas las obras, preparadas las cartelas, seleccionados los cuadernos de apuntes, en la imprenta el catálogo y el cartel y a punto para cargar y transportar todo a Tremp.

Toda esta información está ahora recogida, no sólo en el libro, sino en la base de datos del museo.&lt;br /&gt;El libro&amp;nbsp;se puede adquirir a través de SEO/BirdLife y seguramente a través de librerías en un futuro inmediato. Hay más información en la web de &lt;a href="http://www.seo.org/sala_detalle.cfm?idSala=5137"&gt;SEO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;SEO / BirdLife, is the publisher of a new book on birds in the art. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;Las Aves en el Museo del Prado&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(&lt;/i&gt;Birds in the Prado Museum&lt;i&gt;)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt; was presented to the media today morning at the Botanical Garden  of Madrid. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;Is a wonderful book written by biologist Joaquín Gómez Cano after a long research process in the museum's collections.&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span title=""&gt;My work has been to co-direct the work together with Gerardo Orellana, artist and lecturer at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Aranjuez.

Pues bien, hace dos días el cuadro ha sido sustraido a plena luz del día, lo cual no me extraña en absoluto.&lt;br /&gt;Durante nuestra visita pudimos comprobar que las alarmas y cámaras de vigilancia no funcionaban, cuando nos dedicamos a quitar el polvo a unas esculturas de Rodin. La vigilancia era nula y los tres empleados del museo estaban en la entrada charlando. En ningún momento vimos que algún vigilante se paseara por alguno de los tres pisos del museo. Los jarrones chinos de la colección estaban al alcance de cualquier vándalo y el arco detector sonó a nuestro paso sin que se los guardas mostraran ninguna procupación.&lt;br /&gt;Pero, lo juro, no fuimos nosotros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;In an former post I praised the Mahmoud Khalil Museum in Cairo and its modern art  collection, mentioning among others the painting of Van Gogh &lt;/i&gt;Genets et  coquelicots&lt;i&gt;. Well, two days ago the picture has been stolen with total impudence during visiting hours, which does not surprise me at all.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;During our visit we realised that the alarms and surveillance cameras were not working, when we tried to wipe off the dirt of one of Rodin sculptures and nobody came to arrest us &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;Surveillance was null and the three museum employees were chatting at the reception desk. In no time we saw a security guard at any of the three floors of the museum. The  Chinese vases from the collection were available to any vandal. The metal  detector sounded as we passed through but the guards didn't show any concern.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;But, I swear it: It wasn't us.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706203519545224229-2596841982072165837?l=juanmvarela.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/feeds/2596841982072165837/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/08/no-fuimos-nosotros-it-wasnt-us.html#comment-form' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/2596841982072165837'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/2596841982072165837'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/08/no-fuimos-nosotros-it-wasnt-us.html' title='No fuimos nosotros · It wasn&apos;t us'/><author><name>Juan Varela Simó</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10889939561660556506</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S540cXqC-RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/HVIFAMhfff8/S220/P1040469.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/THGncpHtGUI/AAAAAAAAAa4/_c0f_2pxiLk/s72-c/Van+gogh.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706203519545224229.post-7475590104412719354</id><published>2010-08-12T17:00:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-12T17:52:33.000+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Serengueti en peligro · Serengeti under threaten</title><content type='html'>El legendario Parque Nacional de Serengueti (Tanzania) sufre la amenaza de una autopista que cortaría en dos el parque y detendría la migración anual de los ñúes hacia Masai Mara.&lt;br /&gt;Lee las opiniones del famoso antropólogo &lt;a href="http://baraza.wildlifedirect.org/2010/07/05/richard-leakey-comments-on-the-serengeti-highway/"&gt;Richard Leakey&lt;/a&gt;

El paisaje, sin embargo, es memorable. El sur es la zona mejor conservada y libre de los espantosos resort donde se hacinan los turistas en recintos de hasta 150 bugalows. Allí quedan los restos de los antiguos bosques de caoba, cocoteros, mangos, mimosas y mangles, éstos últimos cada vez más escasos, sustituidos por industrias de acuicultura que surtirán nuestros supermercados de insípidas gambas congeladas (yo las tengo declarado el boicot desde hace tiempo).&lt;br /&gt;Las playas del sureste son todavía largas extensiones de arena fina y compacta que uno puede recorrer en bici con la marea baja sin cruzarse apenas con extranjeros.&lt;br /&gt;Si la salida del sol coincide con la marea baja, las garzas ya estarán pescando en el agua somera: garcetas en sus dos variantes de plumaje, garceta dimorfa, garza cabecinegra o garza real. Junto a ellas, algún charrán de Berg o de Saunders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;There isn't a great diversity of birds In Zanzibar, little more than 170 species. Peanuts compared to the mainland Tanzanian territory. The landscape, however, is memorable. The southern zone is the best preserved and free of the dreadful resorts of up to 150 bugalows. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;There are the remains of the ancient forests of mahogany, coconut, mango, mimosa and mangroves. The latter increasingly rare, replaced by aquaculture industries that provide our supermarkets with insipid frozen shrimp (I declared them a boycott long time ago). The  beaches of the Southeast are still long stretches of fine and compact sand feasible for a bike ride during which you'll cross very few turists. &lt;br /&gt;If the sunrise coincides with the low tide, herons will be already fishing in the shallow waters: Little egrets on the two variants of plumage, Dimorphic Egret, or Grey and Black-headed herons. Alongside them, sometimes one or two Saunders' or Greater-crested Terns.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706203519545224229-5018926412243563216?l=juanmvarela.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/feeds/5018926412243563216/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/08/bwejuu.html#comment-form' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/5018926412243563216'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/5018926412243563216'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/08/bwejuu.html' title='Bwejuu'/><author><name>Juan Varela Simó</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10889939561660556506</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S540cXqC-RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/HVIFAMhfff8/S220/P1040469.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TGLlzLW6oHI/AAAAAAAAAZA/hMjrAvh8EpI/s72-c/Black+headed+heron.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706203519545224229.post-3205921370112419019</id><published>2010-08-05T19:24:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-12T17:20:07.307+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Zanzíbar</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TFrwvXricLI/AAAAAAAAAY4/PqhZ3LZA7xU/s1600/Lowtide2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="142" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TFrwvXricLI/AAAAAAAAAY4/PqhZ3LZA7xU/s400/Lowtide2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Al fín en Zanzíbar, (Madrid, El Cairo, Adis Abeba, Dar es Salam, Zanzibar con overbooking incluido). Y el Indico con sus largas mareas. La primera mañana en Bwejuu, en Makuti bungalows, el mar ha desaparecido. Lo sustituye una inmensa playa de arena de coral, de posidonias, de algas, de mujeres recolectando las algas y un amplio verde turquesa hasta la barrera de coral que se extiende protectora, separándonos de los tiburones y barracudas. El desierto de los tártaros, se me ocurre decir. No sé por qué me viene a la memoria la genial novela de Buzzati al ver la espuma que se amontona en el lejano arrecife. Andamos 300 metros por el agua somera encontrando estrellas de mar de colores fulgurantes, erizos lilas, cipreas y venenosos conos.

It's replaced by a vast shoal of coral sand, posidonias, algae, women colecting seaweed and a broad turquoise extending till the  coral reef that stretches itself protective, separating us from the sharks and barracudas. &lt;span title=""&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The Desert of the Tartars, I mumble. &lt;/span&gt;I do not know why I think of the great Buzzati's novel seing the waves on the distant reef.

El palacio en sí, vivienda del matrimonio Khalil, es una joya neoclásica que contiene toda la colección de arte del millonario, cerámica china, mobiliario y pequeños objetos decorativos, pero sobre todo pintura y escultura. De la segunda me llaman la atención varios bronces de Rodin y una importante colección de pequeñas esculturas de Antoine Bayre que cualquier aficionado al Wildlife Art debiera conocer por su destreza en la representación de fauna africana y europea: leones, tigres, caimanes, ciervos, perros de caza, etc.&lt;br /&gt;La colección de pintura incluye obras menores de muchos artistas del XVIII y XIX: Corot, Cottet (maravilloso cuadro de las velas rojas), Monet (Ninfeas y otros), Pisarro, Degas, etc. Me quedo con el recuerdo del color y la fuerza de &lt;i&gt;La vie et la mort&lt;/i&gt; de Gauguin y &lt;i&gt;Genets et coquelicots&lt;/i&gt; de Van Gogh, pero no puedo dejar de mencionar un delicioso retrato al pastel de Mary Cassat y un óleo de Berthe Morisot dos de las pocas mujeres adscritas al impresionismo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TFmd1fVEcLI/AAAAAAAAAYw/1woBJXZbYA8/s1600/Gauguin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TFmd1fVEcLI/AAAAAAAAAYw/1woBJXZbYA8/s400/Gauguin.jpg" width="316" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;La colección de pintura es seguramente la más importante de Oriente Medio y tiene la inmensa ventaja de que las salas del palacio suelen estar desiertas y uno puede tirarse horas contemplando a su gusto las obras sin apreturas. Al lado del palacio, hay una galería donde se muestra una selección anual de pintura contemporánea egipcia. Igualmente desierta y además nos regala el catálogo una guapa recepcionista, feliz de que los turistas aprecien esa parcela de modernidad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Our trip to Zanzibar included a visit to Cairo, where we found a moment to stroll through a museum less known to tourists, the Palace of Mahmoud Khali (1847-1950). The palace itself, home of Khalil family, is a neoclassical gem containing all their art collection: Chinese ceramics, furniture and small decorative objects, but especially painting and sculpture. Calls my a&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;ttention several bronzes of Rodin and a collection of small sculptures of Antoine Bayre (lions alligators, deer, dogs, etc.). &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The painting collection includes works by many XVIII and XIX century artists: Corot, Cottet (&lt;/i&gt;The red sails&lt;i&gt;!), Monet (&lt;/i&gt;Water Lilies&lt;i&gt; and others), Pissarro, Degas, etc. I'll just mention the color and the strength of Gauguin's &lt;/i&gt;La vie et la mort&lt;i&gt; and Van Gogh's &lt;/i&gt;Genets et coquelicots&lt;i&gt;, but I can not fail to mention a delicious pastel by Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot's oil, two of the few women who joined the impressionism. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The painting collection is probably the most important of the Middle East and has the great advantage that the rooms of the palace are usually empty and you can spend hours watching the art pieces on your own.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706203519545224229-4338626272369241932?l=juanmvarela.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/feeds/4338626272369241932/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/08/en-el-cairo.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/4338626272369241932'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/4338626272369241932'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/08/en-el-cairo.html' title='En El Cairo · In Cairo'/><author><name>Juan Varela Simó</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10889939561660556506</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S540cXqC-RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/HVIFAMhfff8/S220/P1040469.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TFmd1fVEcLI/AAAAAAAAAYw/1woBJXZbYA8/s72-c/Gauguin.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706203519545224229.post-6094643396953395717</id><published>2010-07-01T14:10:00.015+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-14T11:13:43.455+02:00</updated><title type='text'>La bella y la bestia</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none;

Las gárgolas de la catedral son impresionantes. Tienen el aire de un grito petrificado, una impresión de infinita tristeza. Están colgadas allí por feas, expuestas a la verguenza pública como el pobre jorobado de Notre Dame. Siempre me producen compasión.&lt;br /&gt;Sobre ellas se posan los cernícalos, como si intentaran comparar su gracilidad y belleza con la desmesura de la gárgola, hecha de los despojos de las pesadillas del cantero que las creó.&lt;br /&gt;Si la obra final llega a buen puerto creo que la titularé "la bella y la bestia".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #9fc5e8;"&gt;These days I have been working the preliminary sketches for a composition about Lesser Kestrels at the Seville cathedral. Gargoyles have the look of an infinite sadness, like a petrified shout, they hang exposed to public disgrace like the poor hunchback of Notre Dame. If I manage to finish this painting I think I'll give it the title of "Beauty and the Beast".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706203519545224229-6094643396953395717?l=juanmvarela.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/feeds/6094643396953395717/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/07/estos-ultimos-dias-he-estado-haciendo.html#comment-form' title='4 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/6094643396953395717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/6094643396953395717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/07/estos-ultimos-dias-he-estado-haciendo.html' title='La bella y la bestia'/><author><name>Juan Varela Simó</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10889939561660556506</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S540cXqC-RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/HVIFAMhfff8/S220/P1040469.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xED77DeIS7I/TDMBE6Z4f-I/AAAAAAAAAYg/y92poiQcn0M/s72-c/Gargola+y+primilla3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706203519545224229.post-1990222647543915822</id><published>2010-06-21T16:35:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-22T11:10:02.044+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Obra perdida</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TB94ecGVpCI/AAAAAAAAAWo/DaLWHosyV1c/s1600/Elanio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="317" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/TB94ecGVpCI/AAAAAAAAAWo/DaLWHosyV1c/s400/Elanio.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Al revisar mi archivo de imágenes digitalizadas he encontrado este apunte de un Elanio Azul que no está en ninguna de mis carpetas.

Entre ellos una rápida nota del American Star, encallado en la playa de Fuerteventura, un lujoso trasantlántico botado en 1939 que sirvió en la segunda guerra mundial con el nombre de USS Westpoint. En 1993 fue comprado por una compañía tailandesa y remolcado hacia el puerto de la Palma cuando una violenta tormenta lo arrojó contra la playa partiéndolo en dos. Hay magníficas imágenes del barco en &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLDuMCBC3lQ&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;You Tube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otros apuntes son de Alaska, Wisconsin, Paraguay, Israel, Perú, Reino Unido y España.

Calanda holds an amazing museum dedicated to his memory. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706203519545224229-6196777020475600135?l=juanmvarela.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/feeds/6196777020475600135/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/05/exposicion-en-andorra.html#comment-form' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/6196777020475600135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/6196777020475600135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/05/exposicion-en-andorra.html' title='Exposición en Andorra'/><author><name>Juan Varela Simó</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10889939561660556506</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S540cXqC-RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/HVIFAMhfff8/S220/P1040469.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S_wLvyDQynI/AAAAAAAAAWI/xAGxmgGqd-0/s72-c/Andorra1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706203519545224229.post-6945720635456776867</id><published>2010-05-17T19:45:00.009+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-22T11:13:42.582+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Escapada a Cáceres</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S_F_69rw2vI/AAAAAAAAAVY/Tm6_TWj-rzo/s1600/Caceres.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="124" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S_F_69rw2vI/AAAAAAAAAVY/Tm6_TWj-rzo/s320/Caceres.jpg" width="219" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S_JW4p2B_VI/AAAAAAAAAVg/5snS-ZpMTcw/s1600/Caceres2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="123" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S_JW4p2B_VI/AAAAAAAAAVg/5snS-ZpMTcw/s200/Caceres2.jpg" width="164" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tenía el encargo de coordinar la exposición de Wildlife Art que por segundo año organiza la Consejería de Cultura de Extremadura, con la colaboración de SEO/BirdLife y AEAN. Para montar la exposición e inaugurarla, me he escapado a Cáceres unos días. Cuarenta obras de 9 artistas colgaban este año de las paredes del palacio de San Jorge y hemos tenido la suerte de que el tiempo ha cambiado en el último fin de semana para permitirnos celebrar el festival de las Aves y la visita de un buen número de personas a la exposición.&lt;br /&gt;Sólo me ha enturbiado el viaje la lectura de la prensa: descubrir que en éste país se puede suspender y humillar a un juez por investigar un genocidio sin que haya una notable protesta popular, mientras una enorme tropa de gente sale, histérica, a la calle en Madrid y Barcelona para celebrar la victoria de sus respectivos equipos de fútbol. ¿Habrá algo que nos salve de la ceguera y el adocenamiento en que estamos cayendo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #6fa8dc;"&gt;&lt;i style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;For second year I was commissioned to coordinate the Wildlife Art exhibition organised by the Council and the Tourism Dept of Caceres. 40 art pieces of 9 artists were hung on the walls of the historic palace of San Jorge in the core of the old city. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706203519545224229-6945720635456776867?l=juanmvarela.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/feeds/6945720635456776867/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/05/escapada-caceres.html#comment-form' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/6945720635456776867'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/6945720635456776867'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/05/escapada-caceres.html' title='Escapada a Cáceres'/><author><name>Juan Varela Simó</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10889939561660556506</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S540cXqC-RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/HVIFAMhfff8/S220/P1040469.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S_F_69rw2vI/AAAAAAAAAVY/Tm6_TWj-rzo/s72-c/Caceres.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706203519545224229.post-7335097849297721287</id><published>2010-05-10T13:20:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-22T11:13:58.447+02:00</updated><title type='text'>In the heat of the day</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S-frw_7VPuI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/DSE058iwFe0/s1600/%C3%81guila+real.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S-frw_7VPuI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/DSE058iwFe0/s320/%C3%81guila+real.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estos días ha estado volando un águila real por el puerto de la Morcuera y me acerqué a la vertiente norte de la sierra, la que cae hacia Rascafría donde tuve el estudio durante un tiempo. Hice algunos apuntes y de ellos he sacado esta composición. El color del plumaje se ha dispersado en algunas zonas sobre el papel húmedo y ese inesperado "contratiempo" no me desagrada. Al contrario da una cierta atmósfera a la obra que he titulado &lt;i&gt;En el calor del día&lt;/i&gt;, quizá en recuerdo de aquella película de Norman Jewison &lt;i&gt;In the heat of the night&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Esta semana estaré en Cáceres, donde me han encargado coordinar la exposicion de la asociación de artistas (AEAN) y dar una charla.

En cualquier caso, mis acuarelas no hubieran recibido un barnizado con resignación.&lt;br /&gt;La exposición y el libro fueron presentados por Hector Garrido, Director de la Casa de la Ciencia. Miguel Delibes no pudo estar presente debido a una reunión inaplazable del CSIC. Por su parte, Javier Hiraldo, Director de la Estación Biológica, se vio atrapado en China por las cenizas volcánicas islandesas.&lt;br /&gt;También fue la primera presentación pública de un proyecto patrocinado por la Fundación Descubre (gracias, Teresa, Ignacio y Carmen), que estuvo en la presentación de la exposición y el libro. La representante de la Consejería de Innovación, cerró el acto de presentación.&lt;br /&gt;Aquí os dejo algunas fotos tomadas por José Sencianes y mi mujer Laura Cepeda.

Planteé la propuesta a Hector Garrido, Chiqui, del CSIC, y él y Fernando Ibáñez me organizaron rápidamente la estancia en la Reserva Biológica. Durante los años 2008 y 2009 dediqué algunas semanas de invierno y primavera a trabajar, tanto en Doñana como en el cercano Paraje Natural del Odiel, y para mediados de 2009 había reunido del orden de 80 acuarelas y cinco cuadernos de apuntes de campo.&lt;br /&gt;Eso era lo fácil. Chiqui me había ofrecido espacio para exponer en el inmenso Pabellón del Perú sevillano, hoy Casa de la Ciencia, y la editorial Lynx quería publicar el libro, pero la situación económica que nos habían legado hizo mella en los posibles patrocinadores de la publicación que fueron declinando la oferta de participar en el proyecto. Hasta que apareció la Fundación Descubre que lo acogió con el mayor entusiasmo, y justo a tiempo para poner la obra en la imprenta y los cuadros en las paredes.&lt;br /&gt;Este blog pretende mantener informados a sus seguidores de las andanzas de la exposición que recorrerá varias capitales andaluzas a lo largo de los próximos meses, e intentará recoger comentarios de los vistantes y la prensa. Espero que sea de su agrado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Sólo me resta en esta primera entrada, reiterar las gracias a los antes mencionados amigos y patrocinadores así como a Miguel Delibes que aceptó participar en el arranque de la exposición en Sevilla y a todos los que de una forma u otra me han ayudado en este empeño.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #6fa8dc;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #0b5394; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Please refer to What's this all about? entry for translation. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8706203519545224229-4369344041473846144?l=juanmvarela.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/feeds/4369344041473846144/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/03/finales-de-2007-comence-darle-vueltas.html#comment-form' title='7 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/4369344041473846144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8706203519545224229/posts/default/4369344041473846144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://juanmvarela.blogspot.com/2010/03/finales-de-2007-comence-darle-vueltas.html' title='Un largo camino'/><author><name>Juan Varela Simó</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10889939561660556506</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S540cXqC-RI/AAAAAAAAAG8/HVIFAMhfff8/S220/P1040469.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_umsKp0kABr0/S5557VW-vmI/AAAAAAAAAIw/33wkqyaQOHA/s72-c/Atardecer.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry></feed>
