The two-week heat wave brought extreme fire risk to Galicia and now Ourense province is on fire. 10% of it, 727 square kilometers, has already burned. The fires of Chandrexa and Maceda merged and is now the biggest fire ever on record. Neighbors are organizing volunteer groups via WhatsApp and some villages are left alone to battle the flames, without any firefighters. Many are feeling useless given the situation.

No sur de Lugo e noutros lugares de Galicia, seguimos manifestando contra o xenocidio e apartheid israelí e apoiando a liberación de Palestina.
Living Bridges
Seeing the storks return brings me a quiet joy. Besides being a link to Galicia and Upper Guinea, two places close to my heart, I love them for their grace. I enjoy the way they perch and build their massive nests on poles next to the railway and on old stone churches.
The town has a few pieces of street art with storks.
Cohering
Within and without. I’m not sure what that means for this little blog (except an upcoming migration from WordPress → GitHub Pages).
Enjoy the summer. 🤙🏼
