a Shout out , A Happy Birthday to 'Shab'

valdas said:
Happy birthday! I have never been to the Basque Country, the closest was la Rioja, I might have passed some towns belonging to the Basque part when visiting Rioja vineyards but never stayed there. It would be nice to see the coastal side. I hope the vaccination speeds up and we all can travel and enjoy life again. Have a nice celebration!

Thank you very much!! Yes, Bilbao has changed a lot in the last 20 years, from an industrial city to a touristic city. :)

Thank you very much Greg! Today I haven't made any photograph. It has been a non-camera day. Today I have wanted to be with my two eyes, arms, hands, feet... absolutely for them. It has been special. They have wanted to portray me, with their smart phone or Canon AE-1... today I was the subject and I have decided to respect it. It has been very beautiful...
 
Happy Birthday, Xabier!

I enjoy the photos you share with us here.

Also, Basque is a fascinating language and culture. It's probably the last remnant of an ancient European family of languages, now otherwise lost and forgotten.

(I was a student of languages and linguistics, so language and languages are my greatest passion. I grieve every old language lost.)

Thank you so much Murray! I agree with you... I also grieve every old language lost. So, I try everyday to speak and live in Basque, with my sons and daughter, with my friends, in my work, with my students, everywhere I can. As you say it's an old language and culture and it's also my family's language. Thank you so much Murray.

When I was young I didn't think in the same way, but now, the last years, I have been understanding that I'm finding friends in this forum. It is in a different way as I understood before, yes, but it's also so exciting!
