Singer Edurne and football player David de Gea said ‘yes I would’ in the countryside last weekend after twelve years of relationship and a common daughter. Minorca. In the most common image of the couple, she is in a beautifully embroidered strapless dress. Elie Saab and he, dressed in a green suit by Félix Ramiro, both pose for the press at the entrance of the hall, smiling. Quarries of S’Hostal (Líthica), a natural site full of history with its botanical garden, green labyrinths and magnificent stone elements, located near Ciutadella where the wedding took place, but they do so against the gruesome background of a disproportionately large construction crane. Jolín of the Biosphere Reserve, how mechanical cow thorns grow in these areas. It can be considered as a promotional gift for the Balearic island of a famous and glamorous young couple who want to have their wedding portraits taken around Europe. What more could you ask for from a blonde former OT star and top goalkeeper on that memorable day of their life to enjoy Menorca? However, the wedding photo in question received so many playful and hurtful comments that it may have had a negative impact. Memes that place newlyweds in wastelands, dumps, junkyards, abandoned mines, bombed-out cities, and various manure dumps followed one another on unforgiving social networks. But guys, isn’t there an uglier place? Not even a golf course? Well, how about deleting the crane with technical possibilities and putting the sea in the background? Perhaps it was intended to symbolize that a future awaiting the athlete, with Manchester United, the team he has played for in recent years and for which he is a hero to his fans, has not renewed his contract and is now focused on real estate deals. Arabias or whatever you want is free to do.
But scolding is unfair. He who does not kick the Balearic Islands ignores the cranes. the most abundant tree species in the islands recently. Invasive or autochthonous depends on who is in charge. It’s hard to take pictures with their impressive silhouettes and not be seen in the background. It’s straight up heroic. You’ll need to be an impact expert with experience in climbing to take an unaccompanied photo of the building book, which has more than trees in our living space. Some have wheels and chase you through the streets of old quarters, seaside neighborhoods and secluded towns, with miles of arms lifting concrete logs and brick pallets. If you want an idyllic snapshot, hold one of these billboards that our authorities are selling endangered landscapes with their empty coves and terraced slopes without a single crane. It was okay for Edurne and David de Gea, who did not know how to choose where they were placed so that the crane would not come out, on the contrary, cranes are a trend in the archipelago and more to come. Under the current mantra of growth and anti-prohibition, all the developments that have been dormant in recent years will flourish and the few concrete mixers left in reserve will wake up. Enough of liberticides when it comes to cement. No couple in love will be left without a wedding photo with a crane in the background.
