Me and Him... or mute conversation.
I always talk to any dog or cat which I meet by my friends, acquaintances, or even on the streets. I’m not crazy, I just love them all and personal contact with animals gives me much more pleasure than senseless talking with some humans... If you, my friends, have pets at home, you know they always listen...
So... it was just introduction but now is the story....
Walking through Park Guell I looked for some place where I could sit down, relax and play back all my pictures I made before. I found lonely bench right at the Gaudi columns on the upper terrace of the park and decided to go there but something stopped me. I felt somebody’s attention... looked down and saw the dog right in front of me. In his smart eyes I red a mute question: Who are you, what are you doing here in my place? I confused and couldn’t say any word. What could I tell... I’m here because I dreamed to see Barcelona... Gaudi... Park Guell... I just asked: Can I make a shot? He didn’t answer, just continued to look at me. I automatically pressed the button of my camera, turned back and got away... The dog left there but I remember his wise eyes for long time... He didn’t look like regular dog, may be he was the host of that place, or eternal guardian of Park Guell... who knows...
