Winter is not Forever
Beach Scenes from the Tropics
Anabell Iglesias Chavarría and 13-year-old Andrés from El Salvador
Winter is not forever, so here is a bit of warmer weather and images of a beach paradise in the Tropics.
Jicalapa in the province of Sonsonate in El Salvador has dark volcanic sand beaches and warm water all year round. It is an extension of home and a happy place for a neighborhood family who share it with us as we continue with snow.
The land of my song.
Two lands, throbbing within, were mystery and gift.
I carried both in my blood.
I gathered both in my embrace.
A dual love held close
opposing landscapes:
on the right, proud crests
of galloping palm trees,
and on the left, gray breezes
over sleepless ships.
Here, beaches of sun…
There, rivers of ice…
– Claudia Lars, Salvadoran-American poet
Excerpt from ‘Ballads of the North and South’

Images of the same spot at the same beach in the tropics at different times of day.
Andy's Watercolors depict small fishing craft.
‘Sunrise’ shows a single vessel, sails open and ready to head out to sea.
‘Sunset’ shows a vessel coming back, with activity, cliffs and the shore behind it.
