Ojos de gato

Los gatos tienen una mirada especial, quizás por sus ojos, tan enigmáticos.

Cats have a special look, perhaps because of their eyes, so enigmatic.

Fractura caprichosa

Una rotura de un plástico protector nos puede crear una imagen única, en este caso a mí se me parece a Patán, el perro de Pier no doy una. Tú que piensas, ¿a quién se parece? Valdeande, septiembre de 2017.

Luces de Navidad

Lo cierto es que la Navidad se hace más esplendorosa cuándo cae la noche, sobre todo en las grandes ciudades donde todo queda iluminado.

The truth is that Christmas becomes more splendid when night falls, especially in the big cities where everything is illuminated.

Negative votes in Steemit

Yesterday I used the dreaded red flags for the first time. I did it four times and I didn't do it any more because I was running out of voting power and wanted to be able to vote on articles from some steemitians.

In this particular case it was to a user, to call him in some way, that he is dedicating himself to putting links of illegal downloads of books; I counted 13 links to him, without counting, of course, the previous ones because he has many more. 

On a previous occasion I left him a comment, saying that it didn't seem right to me what I was doing, but far from rectifying, he continued to post pirated links. Then I decided to start putting red flags on it, knowing that I would lose voting power, that I could not use it to vote on interesting articles and that I would gain nothing, perhaps an enemy.

I don't like being anyone's policeman, but the promotion of pirate links affects me directly. As you know I am a writer, I have all my novels, stories and plays in the digital portals of Internet, Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, etc.... 

Writing a novel, a play, a book, composing a song, making a film, it takes a lot of time and money and nobody deserves to be robbed of the product of their work.

The robots, @lince and @cheetah, are very aware of the copying and pasting, but I have the sad feeling that NOTHING does NOT do against this type of behavior, which I find equally or more reprehensible perhaps because their computer algorithms do not track illegal download links that proliferate in this community. 

Furthermore, in these cases, there would be no doubt and I think it would be more effective than tracing the plagiarism that, on many occasions, blunders, as I have suffered in person with @cheetah, which he put on his list because there was a coincidence with the title of a story I wrote.

I know that to put negative votes is not pleasant for anyone because because you don't get anything, just to win you some enemies, but I think that this community does not deserve to have users who dedicate themselves to promote PIRACY; if we repudiate the PLAGE, we should also be blunt with piracy because every book, film, song that is pirated you are hurting a third party and we can not spend it in Steemit because here. 

Steemit should be clear of these crummy compartments. 

For that reason, If you come across user who is dedicated to promoting piracy, please don't hesitate and give him or her a negative vote and a comment on why you are doing it, then you will be contributing to a free community and a prestigious community.

Esperando que suba la marea

Esta es fue una escena que me llamó mucho la atención y por eso la fotografié. Tres personas a eso de las diez de la mañana sentadas, contemplando el mar, ahí tranquilos, esperando que suba la marea. Playa de Las Canteras, agosto de 2017.

¡Feliz 2018!

Jugando en la calle

La calle siempre fue el mejor lugar para jugar, pero, con el tiempo, la calle ha sido tomada por las carreteras y los coches, disminuyendo el espacio de juego de los niños. Por esa razón, muchos ciudades están devolviendo las ciudades a sus legítimos dueños, que no son otros que los vecinos, peatonizando los barrios. Valsequillo, octubre de 2017.
