Saturday Snapshot- Ice and Caves in Chile

Welcome back to another Saturday Snapshot* post! I have yet another set of pictures to share with you from my trip to Chile in 2008. I hope you enjoy these pictures my dad took of natural formations!

A massive block of ice (glacier I guess?)





View from a boat-ride
These caves were extremely dark and scary!

(My favourite picture is probably the first picture- the shades of blue draw me in, almost like a painting).

I'd love it if you guys could let me know your thoughts on the new blog template and background. If you prefer the old one, then I might reverse the switch, because I am currently undecided!

Have a good weekend, and thanks for stopping by!

      No, I've never been to Alaska, but I'd love to explore the state!

      Thank you for visiting Esme, and have a great weekend!

    Wow, what stunning photos! I agree - I live the first one, especially the deep, luminous blue of the glacial ice. Looks like an amazing place to visit!

      It was a great place to visit, but I was only four or five at the time, so I seem to have forgotten most of it!

      Thanks for stopping by Sue!

      Yes it is! Sad to think that it's probably melted by now.....

      Thanks for stopping by Deb!

    Hey!
    The first shoot is definitely amazing!-Not to steal credit from the others though ;)
    Your newer template is different- by which I mean quite a lot to digest... But I am in agreement- I can't decide...
    Have a good day!

      I know- It took me by surprise when I first saw it as well ( I mean the picture, I was too young to have appreciated landscapes at the time).

      Thanks for stopping by!

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place.
