PIEL Y TIERRA

We arrived on a typical cloudy, sunny Sunday afternoon. I asked the gentleman sitting next to me if he wouldn't mind opening the shade for me. I could not resist watching the airplane landing in the beautiful "Sabana de Bogota." I couldn't miss looking at the patchy green lands of the flower crops, the white and plastic greenhouses of roses and astromelias, and the red brick walls of the farmer houses. 

While landing, we smiled, and my eyes got watery upon approximation to Bogota, as they always have since I left Colombia 12 years ago. And then, the folkloric clamping during landing that Colombian passengers always do celebrates the arrival to the land of magical realism, Colombia. 

Here some imagenes from La Chamba. Tolima, Colombia.
