How Do I Mount Medals On A Letter Jacket?

TRAS LAS RAÍCES DE TRIANA: CELINDAS PARA UNA VIEJA TAPIA

In the early nineties began the construction of apartments about the new Ronda de Triana, the road that sent us straight to the expo, ie way of the future. Destroyed factories, warehouses and workshops, the tram depot and humble self-houses, a magnificent land was free for private speculation, it was only built some public housing to rehouse the residents who had previously expropriated, while many young Triana were forced to leave the neighborhood to reside in the Aljarafe and Seville East.

Of those tejares occupy large spaces and gardens, there is only a yard between the street and Tejares Manuel Arellano, on the wall facing the street Uxama , suggestive name for a settlement Celtiberian Soria province, the mock orange try to hide the ugly and dirty stones, give a little life into a narrow street car converted into a bedroom. A little over three quarters of green space that could easily have turned into a long corridor covered with bushes messy, papers scattered bottles, but the gardener in the neighborhood, already quoted in another post, is committed to maintaining a clean floor and several shrubs lawn alive.


the mock orange leaves are opposite , meaning that each node get two, one against the other, have finely serrated edge and nerves very marked, are arranged in branches hung with age, who did not, and deep green enables them to capture the energy hidden in the sun.


When flowering, the petals white light filled the street, the bouquets are made up of little flowers, which exhibit numerous stamens , fine filaments and yellow anthers , among them is the pistil always awaiting the arrival of pollen.

In the old Triana may just look dirty walls, but when they destroyed the pens and the neighboring houses were flying through the air flamenco sounds, smells of stews that went a few doors to others the greetings of men and women who were every day, now some tiles mark to where the river grew and plaques remind us of many celebrities, if I close my eyes and imagine the past this is beyond me.
