October Fields by colin campbell Via Flickr: Spiders web, heavy rain and the stubble of harvest. Not as sharp as I would have liked but a difficult shot to get and not sure where to focus on!

Paola by Alexandre Périgo Via Flickr: Here Paola appears in a old shed carrying a pair of baby booties with a hydraulic cart, in a metaphor about the weight - even if composed of love - of the responsibility of raising a child. On the same diagonal line of life appears very discreetly the Darwin´s book "The Origin of Species" which reflects our dialectical-materialist view of motherhood. The mother-to-be is heading toward the light, which is her naturally way. She is also naked, but not completely because of boots, which also metaphorically ironizes the hypocritical view of pregnant woman. The main focus is on the wall in the background, representing the aridity of the pregnant woman's walk. The picture has no colors, because gestation is not a colorful phase for women, despite the male vision preaching the opposite; it is a complicated time in a woman's life, with difficulty walking, nausea, hormonal changes, medical monitoring and anxiety - both in relation to childbirth and the health of her child.
