Pyrenees of Huesca, Spain
agua para el erial
This is the bottom of the Mediano reservoir (Pyrenees of Huesca, Spain) in a time of drought (2005-08-10) like now.
They say that the Aragón people aren't in solidarity with other peoples of Spain for failing to yield to water...God knows for what purpose. Who sympathized with drought?.
The title ("water for the wasteland") of the picture is a tribute to the poet, singer and deputy Aragonese José Antonio Labordeta: In this poem “Canta, compañero, canta” (Sings, companion, sings) shows the merger of the struggle for the Land and Freedom: “Agua para el erial,y trigo para el barbecho. Para los hombres caminos, con viento y con libertad…" (Water for the wasteland, and wheat for the fallow. For men paths, with wind and freedom...)
