Songs and places

Songs and places, a photo by powerdubbe on Flickr.

a window into a broken land.
the land has been stomped on, and broken like glass. watch how the people put it back together, piece by piece.
these photos are of friends and comrades in Aysen, fighting back against state repression and a centralized economy. This fight has not been a pretty one. People have been shot, blinded by buckshot, and beaten nearly to death. but as true patagonians, they never give up. in fact that word isn't even in their vocabulary. ni un paso atras. not one step back.
