Siempre hay lugares por donde uno transita casi a diario, pero sin prestarle mucha atenci贸n, y basta una persona ajena para que te haga notar determinadas cosas. Es muy probable que a los habitantes de la Habana Vieja, ver palomas posadas en los aleros no sea algo significativo; sin embargo, a m铆 me encant贸 ver la integraci贸n de la arquitectura m谩s antigua, la escultura moderna y como estas aves se han integrado a ese entorno.
La manera en la que se colocan en los aleros de los edificios y salen luego en desbandada, o como se posan (casi como parte integradora) en la escultura, me fascin贸.
En la primera foto, me gust贸 que ambas palomas estaban haciendo el mismo gesto con el cuerpo, supongo que acical谩ndose, y que sus alas quedaran en una posici贸n que se asemejaba a la propia escultura.
There are always places where you pass by almost every day, but without paying much attention to them, and it only takes a stranger to make you notice certain things. It is very likely that for the inhabitants of Old Havana, seeing pigeons perched on the eaves is not something significant, however, I was delighted to see the integration of the oldest architecture, modern sculpture and how these birds have been integrated into that environment.
The way they perch on the eaves of the buildings and then fly away, or how they perch (almost as an integrating part) on the sculpture, fascinated me.
In the first photo, I liked that both pigeons were making the same pose with their bodies, I suppose preening themselves, and that their wings were in a position that resembled the sculpture itself.
The sculpture is part of a series called "Natura" by Cuban artist Juan N. Quintanilla. It is about 10 meters high and weighs about 8 tons. It is made of marble and stainless steel. It was placed on November 16, 2011, on the occasion of the 492nd anniversary of the Villa de San Crist贸bal de La Habana.
