if entering any kind of store and browsing amongst the labels of all the products lying on the shelves is still not enough to make a bell ring into our minds, passing through a harbour will do the job. there are no other places on earth where to realise the enormity of global trade.
goods go round our world, goods make our world go round. even when we decide to ignore about that, to ignore about them. as trivial as it may be, they end up being our idols, we end up worshipping them. and harbours are the temples of this new, blind religion we're trapped into.
we can be bad devotees, we may even forget about the religious practice, but no matter how much we deny our gods, they won't cease existing and permeating our lives.
a quick visit to one of the largest cathedrals in the world is enough to remind us about that. like the harbour in hamburg, where i was recently and took these shots.
simply huge. no words.

Finalmente!cominciavo a preoccuparmi per l'assenza di nuovi post. Beh, quando mi mostrerai il resto. A proposito, hai mai pensato di diventare marinaia?
