Entering into stories and time travel is one of the things I like the most, especially if it involves art, beauty and history.
Touching the door of certain important moments in the history of mankind or simply opening that door to observe passages, situations, as if nobody would notice me being there.
Feeling invisible, like a being from another plane who only passes by to see what is happening in the streets, the houses, the experiences, to see the looks, the gestures and, as I always say, the precious details of life.
Pay attention to what is important I said today in a commentary, what is important is often not seen with the eyes, but felt, perceived in the air and enjoyed, something that seems strange to this earthly world.
The world of art is so wonderful, I never stop discovering details in it, and it gives me the possibility to make those journeys. When I look at art, there is nothing else because I concentrate on what is important, on the wonderful work that people like you or me have carried out, and often meticulous and miniature work.
I have had the great opportunity in recent days to enjoy this beautiful art, on several occasions and in several places and each time it surprises me, I approach it as if I wanted to look in depth and try to capture everything that is often overlooked.
In life people live in a hurry and overlook many things, they only see, but do not observe life, and the artists put a lot of themselves to make every detail count.
Every basket with food, the birds in different positions with their wings up, the expressions on people's faces, the work their hands do, the chimneys, the fish, the ornaments on the houses, the fishing nets and so many other things you can see in these photographs. All of this is a marvel.
I wanted to go into each place as if I could walk through these houses, streets, mountains, landscapes, experiences and even chat with the people. Scenes that tell a story, moments of the day, daily activities, small and big things in the life of people from another era.
Not only do you travel through time and space, but you can even see grass growing, sheep grazing and an atmosphere that transports you. Every detail counts. The value of the little things, perhaps simple but beautiful. That is what is important.
I felt like I was in a silent movie theatre, that with the gestures of the little sculptures I could tell what was going on and I could even see the smile on their faces. The lights in the perfect places created the right atmosphere for each situation.
I was very pleased to see so many different animals, dogs and cats, a variety of birds and farm animals, so present in the daily life of every household. Look at the presence of details on the walls, the fabrics, the clothes... flowers, ornaments, pots, chests...
I even think my cat accompanied me to this market for natural foods, spices while I could chat with the merchants. Who wants a jar, there are plenty here to choose from.
A carpenter works while the fireplace heats the hearth and the food in the pot is gently made. To be in the moment and the place is to feel the experience.

Show the surroundings of the houses, not in perfect form but in real form. Do you see the rooster? The ladder behind the window? Details.
Passages in the nature, in the rocks, the green of the ground with the pigeons, sheep and an aloe vera plant. More details.
The cat looking behind the pot, very attentive.
The owl mimicking the snowy landscape.
The cat under the table... details.
A landscape in front of another, the light behind this warm scene gives it a unique style.
I think the donkey is sleepy. Although the sheep are just hungry and want to chat.
It looks more like walking slowly than running, the slowness makes you observe things better.
Would you like to choose a photograph and name a detail that you like or that catches your attention? I'll read you in the comments.
Thank you very much for joining me today, I wish you a good Sunday. See you soon.
Amonet.
