The City Of The Eternal Spring
Personal memory by Manuela Valencia
2015 • Medellin, Antioquia, Colombia
I live in Medellín Colombia, and before coming to the United States I had never realized how much nature we have in my city, and I miss it. I miss the trees and the mountains surrounding me everywhere I go. I miss the smell of flowers each morning. I miss having off road highways. In the states, everything is made of concrete, and I just wish it was greener.
