{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A photo – no words – capturing any moment from my past travel experiences. A simple, special, extraordinary moment.
A moment you want to pause, savour and remember.
“This Moment” is a ritual found on Life inspired by the Wee Man adopted from SouleMama which was introduced to me by Sarah-Jane.
This is my moment! If you want to read the story behind the photo, please follow the link (story behind the photo) at the bottom of the page.
If you have a Moment please share your link in the comments section and I will pop in to have a look .. Ciao!
Oh My plastic bottles…. what a waste!
Hi Savira, that is what I thought in the beginning but it is not. It has a deep and religious meaning here in Argentina 🙂
Brilliant how better do worship someone who died of thirst. Loved the history Nelieta.A
Ok, this is going to make me read the story behind the pic…I gotta see what this is about! Very interesting pic, can't see I've seen anything like it! At first I thought it was a photo maybe taken after a big party or concert!My moment: http://ascendingthehills.blogspot.com/2011/04/this-moment-friday-tradition_14.html
Nelieta, how very interesting. Legends are always great to hear about and different cultures, as well. Love the photo!mine is at: http://allergiesandceliac.blogspot.com/2011/04/this-moment_15.html#more
Thank u for this one..Nelieta…really interesting and a learning experience.
meant to say also… bit late though and here's mineMoments
Nelieta,I find there's never a dull moment at your place:) And "This Moment" is no exception! I'm on my way to check out the story now.Have a great weekend! ~ DebraHere's mine: http://debrasblogpureandsimple.blogspot.com
I'm fascinated how they thought of building a shrine out of waste…making something beautiful out of scrap -awesome!
interesting..i've always related shrines to Mexico..always something new to learn..love your blog..
The good thing about it is it encourages people to drop their waste bottles in one place.
Wow a shrine out of plastic bottles and empty at that. Seems odd. Great photo though.xoxoMy moment http://findingonesway.com/2011/04/this-%EF%BB%BFmoment-in-time-41511/
Hi Jessica, all the bottles have a little bit of water in them. They leave it for the woman who have died of thirst when she was looking for her husband after he has gone to the civil war.
Hi Jim, although this looks like a dumping place, it is in fact a very religious place for people. The "story behind the photo" explains why and what happened 🙂
Hi Alfandi, this was quite an interesting discovery here in Argentina. People often ask what they are and represent. Very interesting indeed. I did not know that they have road shrines in Mexico too..wow now I have learnt something new.
Hi Debra, thank you very much. What is interesting for me is not always interesting for other people 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend and I loved your moment!
Hi Corinne, all the bottles have a little bit of water in them. They leave it for the woman who have died of thirst when she was looking for her husband after he has gone to the civil war. People leave all different kind of things at shrines. One place had number plates and they prayed for a car for example.
Hi Alpaina, glad you have enjoyed this one! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Hi Mary, yes there is so much to learn about other cultures. It seems like legends have a way of becoming a part of cultures. That is so cool! Thank you for stopping by.
Hi Jessica M, did you like the story behind the photo? It is very interesting 🙂 Thank you for stopping by and I am on my way now to look at your moment 🙂
Hi Alejandro, I couldn´t agree with you more. It is a touching story 🙂 I have a new respect for shrines when I see them.
Nelieta, if every story paints a thousand words, the story of Delinda Correa is one of them! The photo of the bottles beckoned me back to Argentina and the shrine and the child nursing at her breast. Fascinating story! When will your book be released? All the photos and stories combine to make quite a collection of adventures.
Very cool indeed! Takes recycling to a whole new level!!
Hi Debra, it is a fascinating story 🙂 I am not quite sure when the book will be ready. I still have so much to write about. I guess it will be time when I have used up all my free space for photos! I am hoping to be sitting in my rocking chair one day and read through all my adventures..lol!
Hi Margaret, thanks for popping in and your comment 🙂
Beautiful picture!
Thank you Sailor, yes it is something unusual!
I love your blog, Nelieta! Your photos are all beautiful.
