nature's peace
 |
| Santander (Cantabria), Spain |
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow
into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own
freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop
off like autumn leaves."
-John Muir

mermaid in Santander
 |
| Santander, (Cantabria) Spain |
The ocean breeze, the
smell, the sound of the waves, the different blues of the sky and water
along with the saltiness of the sea altogether contribute to blocking out everything happening around me.
One of the three ships used by Christopher Columbus was the well-known Santa Maria, which was said to have a mermaid as its figurehead. This vessel sank near Haiti in 1492. In honor of this voyage, a replica of the ship was built in Mexico and sailed back to Spain 500 years later. This beautiful statue was the original placed on the front of the boat and given to the city of Santander.
