Holiday time !!!!

   I had the opportunity to travel to Seville recently with my family for a few days yes plenty of sight 
  Seeing! and the Vegetable  Paella (rice!) was the best ever along with the Sangria!!
  The Sevillian people were generous hearted warm and friendly and the weather was lovley too.
  Point

of interest to note was that Ai WeiWei was exhibiting at the Contemporary Gallery its the     
  first time I have seen his work so that was exciting , We went to the Alcazar palace which was  

  stunning  beautiful court yards with fountains and plants here are some images

A quote by Camus ---
Dont walk in front of me I may not follow, 
Dont walk behind me I may not lead, 
Just walk beside me and be my friend . 

It was encouraging to see in today's news that artist musicians are collaborating on behalf of the poor, being reminded that Nelson Mandela's voice in the 1970's can still motivate and resonate with  musicians and artists today........... to use there abilities as a platform to fight against ongoing Injustice.....
So many have done this down through  the years it needs to continue...............I am also  reminded that  'You dont have to be perfect to do somthing good'.
Im reminded of  many courageous ones as       Nelson Mandela 
                                                                          Aung San Suu Kyi
                                                                          Gandi
                                                                          Martin Luther-King 
                                                                          Brian Hawes 
                                                                          Louise Michelle
                                                                          Rosa Luxemburg
                                                                          Chico Mendes 
 to name a few and the many unknown unsung ones and ones yet to be discovered ones yet to be born 
ones yet to rise up. Nelson Mandela ' its time to set them free.... sometimes it falls upon a Generation to be great, you can be that great Generation.
