Eyes of the Vagabond

vaga #1/28 ochre annex

PART XXVIII

this chapter is annexed to -vaga #6/7 'a day with Lama'- since it takes place in his hamlet

I need, or miss putting this annex of "ochre " because it is part of the day, outside the adventures already related I had other different sensations, I do not mix them and this one I can not ignore, since my eyes absorbed and enjoyed it in silence. Why did I break it down in this way, but it's all a mix of colour and adventure.

The colour, again, today the "ochre". Not just any "ochre" catches my eye. This natural colour of the clay of the area with which they build the mud houses in this particular town of the Kathmandu Valley. It is an already beautiful, luminous, cheerful, clean clay colour. There are many other more brownish or reddish clays that do not give me the same feeling. The light, in this "ochre" radiates clarity. See how the colour changes with the change of light in the course of the afternoon. It is beautiful to perceive it and remarkable in the change of its ranges on this "ochre", subtle change, at the end of the afternoon it became another "ochre". There was a lot of smog that intensified in the afternoon and created a diffuse filter over the colour. The texture, in which is fine and well finished mud is my favourite. Other different textures in rougher mud creating a play of small shadows and tones, or in the ruined houses that are a great mixture of tonalities, and textures. The dimensions, a large wall of natural and luminous colour, are decisive, for example, versus the same "ochre" in a vase or vessel. The colour here is imposed, it impacts. The lines, in which the colour is held, that is, in its snaking walls, soft curves with the absence of straight and rigid lines, soft and inaccurate angles of roundness versus mathematical angles. I find them friendly, gentle, gentle, peaceful, non-aggressive.

the sum of these characteristics are those that "the eyes of this vagabond" silently absorbs and gives a little gift to the soul.

as all blogs are designed to be viewed on computer screens, there are repeated photos with the vaga#6/7 " A Day with Lama " are part of this too and vice versa.

 
 
 
 

DOORS

I have always loved them and in this hamlet, they were very nice, all without locks. Its worn woods, of different designs, surrounded by "ochre", semi open, almost inviting you to enter, what will be inside?,


LIFE AROUND OCHRES

The first photo was when we had just arrived at 3 in the afternoon, a bright light and a luminous "ochre", the last before we left at 6

 
 

Lama, calling us to lunch from his house of a beautiful "ochre" colour.
