Wonderful image, Rob!
I love Santana. This is just what I needed to get me over the stress of the barking dog on the other side of my wall.
I’ve always said, when Santana plays guitar, angles come to earth to listen. And they cry out in anguish when he stops!
In the mid 90s I started a novel called “The Guitar Mancer” — I tried to do a re-writer of it (on my blog) a few years ago, but it’s still not published.
Anyhow the first draft had the heroine as a witch. Santana’s version of Black Magic Woman got in my head. I made the guitar solo part of the story. I had that song in my head every time I touched the keyboard to write that story — in the 1990s and the second time. Every time I even think of that story I hear Black Magic Woman.
Thanks for lifting me up with this other Santana song. Wow…!
Hugs on the wing.

Wow Teagan. I know how that feels. When the pace of the story syncs up with the music the feeling is exhilarating.

Thank you, Robbie! I was lucky to get a shot of this mural while it was fresh. It’s long gone now. It’s a wonderful portrait of Santana.

I wondered where it came from. Murals can be so beautiful. It’s sad that they don’t usually stay very long.

I started taking pictures in 2011 to cope with panic attacks.
I have six 3 terabyte hard drives with photos that go back 7 years.
I have a huge collection of beautiful murals that no longer exist.
That might make a good post. 🙂
I decided to emphasize the on lines on this because they’re so graceful.

The murals could be a good alternative to “doors” for the potential project I mentioned off line too.
