Rice fields in Guinea Conakry

rice fields, originally uploaded by martapiqs.

While I’m stuck in Ireland due to the weather conditions, I started playing around on the Web, something I rarely do anymore. Here’s a photo I uploaded more than five years ago, at my return from Guinea Conakry, where I took part in a language documentation project for the Mani people. Although my job there was to document the Mani language, when I was living with the Mani I tried to suck in their way of life. For instance, I went to the rice fields at different times of the year in order to observe and learn how they grow rice. I really like the colors in this pictures, so I thought I’d share it with you :)

Have a great day!

La Mola i St. Quirze

La Mola i St. Quirze, originally uploaded by martapiqs.

I uploaded this picture on Flickr last Fall, just before moving to Ireland. I was trying my dad’s reflex camera in my hometown.

I’m posting it here today because, with the upcoming trip home next weekend, I now miss the place I grew up and my friends a lot!

The shot was brought up to my attention today when I accessed my Flickr account and found a request to use it in Wikipedia.

He publicat una entrada força breu sobre el que envolta la mani de dissabte al meu blog irlandès, en anglès, esperant que algun dia algun anglòfon hi anirà a parar…

An apple,

I just replaced the template of Exploring life for this one more summery and cheerful :)
I’ll be posting on my Californian blog soon, for I spent my holidays in Baja California and Central California last week and the previous one.

Cheers and healthy eating!

Primavera a Google trends

Avui ha tornat a nevar a Dublín i això m’ha inspirat a buscar ‘primavera’ al Google trends.

Si mai heu provat l’eina, feu-ho, es interessant!

Primavera a Google trends, originally uploaded by martapiqs.

A Espanya, els catalans som els que més cerques fem amb el terme ‘primavera’ a l’estat espanyol.

Per acompanyar, us deixo una cançoneta que m’encanta!!! És alegre i tranquil·la alhora. Espero que us agradi :-)
