Elegance

Elegance is certain way of moving. It is also to know how to adapt to all the circumstances of life.

Without the elegance of the heart, there is no elegance.

Mama-y-Pepe-Blown-Up

My mother was 14 years old when she left Spain in 1939.

She never went back. Some people do not negotiate with fascists.

This picture should have been taken in the streets of Madrid where she was born. Instead it was taken in France during a visit by her uncle.

I got this image recently and the first thing I thought was “elegance” (because it is my mum and her uncle of course).
