Eliades Ochoa, the last great troubadour: ‘People in Cuba have lost their joy’

Now on the brink of his 80th birthday, he learned to play the tres, his country’s traditional guitar, by watching his father — before becoming the youngest member of the legendary Buena Vista Social Club

GORGEOUS MONSTERS & THEIR PETS
Welcome to my new interview series. I am the official human spokesperson for the Guardian Monster Guild, editor of the Monster Times & Review and author of the glamorous tell-all book, What Monsters Want. These are hard-won credentials that I have worked tirelessly to obtain. As an ordinary human being, entering the realm of Monsterdom requires a rigorous determination, and an ego that can survive all manner of taunts, threats and indignation. I have endured countless nips, pokes and licks from numerous monsters whose intent, it seems, was to provoke me into giving up. I have proved them wrong! NOTE: This latest set of interviews on monster pets is for human eyes only and includes interviews with a select group from the Gorgeous Monsters Society. (This is the name they give themselves.) Here we discuss their feelings of unabashed adoration for their beloved pets as well as their care and feeding. Meet Constance, of the Tellarium tribe & her two pets:
Esmerelda, a Blue Nifted Whistler and Eggelston, a baby Inkbit.

Steel Infinity — Looking Up Through a Power Tower

Lie down beneath a high voltage transmission tower. Look straight up. And suddenly engineering becomes art. Steel beams radiate outward from a central vanishing point, frame after frame after frame, shrinking into the grey sky above like a portal to another dimension. This is infrastructure photographed not as utility but as geometry — the same mathematical precision that builds bridges and skyscrapers, revealed in a single upward glance. Power lines cross the void. The sky holds everything still. And for one moment, the ordinary world becomes infinite.
