My favourite 2017 photo by Gema Mazon https://padlet.com/gema_mazon/73skrfhnm5k3 Post your favourite picture and explain what it is and why you prefer it to the rest. en-us 2017-12-12 09:23:15 UTC 2023-02-26 11:22:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/820b6560e0ce7bea93ef1d8b5db754c5ecc28697/0_0_5250_5250/master/5250.jpg?w=620&q=20&auto=format&usm=12&fit=max&dpr=2&s=b225b6a1a6391328c27127c034ae995c Seahorse with cotton bud gema_mazon https://padlet.com/gema_mazon/73skrfhnm5k3/wish/221181148 I specially like this photo, from the The Guardian link, because it's so very striking in its simplicity. I like the contrast it makes, how such a minute and delicate animal is apparently at ease with a piece of this rubbish we're choking the oceans with. How such a seemingly innocent piece of personal hygiene ended up next to this beautiful and graceful animal. It seems to me like a very clear scream.]]> 2018-01-13 12:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gema_mazon/73skrfhnm5k3/wish/221181148 Plenty of life. https://padlet.com/gema_mazon/73skrfhnm5k3/wish/221284062 I like this photo, from the National Geographic's Best Picture of 2017 link, because it shows us that everything is connected and it is very important to protect our oceans. Seas are plenty of life, even a little kelp island which attracts a lot of animals around it.

You can see in the middle of the picture how two firefighters are standing while they are looking the huge fire. This situation is sad and amazing at the same time because you can imagine all the mountains burning and the disaster that it can made and you can contemplate how beautiful the picture is.

We need hope.]]> 2018-01-15 08:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gema_mazon/73skrfhnm5k3/wish/221364479 Colima Volcano https://padlet.com/gema_mazon/73skrfhnm5k3/wish/221426803 I love this picture of Colima Volcano (the most active in Mexico). It shows us the beauty and the danger of the nature at the same time. 
The picture was taken with a slow shutter speed during an eruption on January 26.

I've choosen this photo from The Guardian link because it is certainly the worst notice in 2017 and probably in the next five years.

In the middle of the picture, you can see, a huge Whale and on the top, in the right side,  the hands of a fisherman.
Normally, the whale would be threatened by the fisherman, but in this picture they look like a friend. And the image is very peaceful.

Two children conforting each other...Their faces reflect the fear that thousand of children are living in this unjust place called world, right now. Their names are Zeid and Hodayfa, they are 12 and 11. They have already lost some members of their family and their home under the rubble, during a fighting between Iraqui forces and Islamic State in Mosul on June 24. This picture should be stir consciences all over the world...

It´s incredible to think that even in the 21st century there are underdeveloped countries like Africa while other countries enjoy unnecessary luxuries.
In this picture we can see a group of women attending a class to learn how to use tablets and in this way to be able to teach their children about the new technologies.
As we can see, most women feel happy with this activity. We can also observe in other expressions the difficulty that it implies for them.
While in Europe children already know how to use these devices, there is still a long way to go in the development of some countries.
On the other hand, we know they are wonderful craftswomen in manufacture of their colorful and striking dresses and ornaments.

I am that kind of person who tolerate very bad violence so, even if they are named 'best top 100 photos of 2017' I can't put up with it. So I like this Time's photo because you can see in it a lot of different people in races, economy or even religions, gathered without any troubles or bad actions, just to observe how a solar eclipse was going to happen. And just showing how differences don't exist, only when we want to them show up.

She wearing a curtain and a cardboard crown and she feels calls herself "the tundra princess" in the Nenets camp near the Kara Sea.
  She is 8 years old and she says her happiest time summer, when a helicopter sent by Gazprom and the regional government brings her and other kids home from school to their migrating families.
  I have chosen this photo because it show how a dream really do come true whith a few things.

In it we can see a boy of about 11 years old in his bedroom posing with his air gun collection instead of toys, a computer or video games. 
I can corroborate the doble moral and supremacy of the American Society. They always want to brag to be the best society in the world, which they are not.

Lastly, we are used to seeing tragedies in social media, most of them are wars, damages, murders and something like this. In this scene we can see a group of goats, they are eating leaves on the top of an argan tree in Essaduira, Morocco. This photo is like a Christmas Tree but, we have got goats inside crystal balls, for this reason, it is really funny and happy, in contrast to the rest of the photos, this picture make me laught and only for this reason it is noteworthy. https://padlet.com/gema_mazon/73skrfhnm5k3/wish/228182762 Blanca Martínez de Oporto

In addition, something more important is the equality between men and women, and with this things where women fight together is more easier achieve the goals. Besides, I love this picture because there is a current point due to womans in Holliwood. Some productors use their works for abuse, and  womans inform againsd them and people are little by little more conscious. It is something bad that it would be better if doesnt happen, but for this kind of things people think about it and maybe changes their actitudd about the inequality and one day men and women fight together.
