I was going to compare your image with the interior of Dubrovnik's small but fascinating Red History Museum, but it doesn't look like I can post a photo on here, so you'll have to imagine.
Whenever an antimasker makes a comment like "I can't breathe in a mask", what they've done is confused themselves with a normal person when they are, in fact, either a) a pathological liar or b) catastrophically ill in a major way, respiration-wise, get to a GP as fast as you can without blacking out
The sounds of silence…. Love this. So true. The quiet machineries of the universe, working away. Heat engines ticking as they cool in an off cycle. Little lives passing beneath our notice, usually, but quietly asserting their places in the world. The sounds of the stars. I crave quiet, and dark skies. And I love the summer sounds of bees and crickets and birds, and cicadas, who are not so shy.
Heathrow to Singapore with no cigarette...I was ready to kill someone
I'll bet! That's a SCHLEP without nicotine...
I love the comment on ideology.
Thank you :-) And it's true on both right and left...
No doubt. As Russell Kirk always said, ideology is the science of idiocy. Left and Right!

Just looked, and it really does! I was in Dubrovnik last summer but didn't know about this, which is a shame!
Yes, a really interesting couple of hours. City walls for Game of Thrones splendour, Red museum for soviet era hardship and repression!
I didn't see it either - was in Dubrovnik last spring, sadly it was marathon day so much was inaccessible but the wall walk is glorious
When we were there it was so hot that we saw people actually collapsing from the heat... sadly the wall walk will have to wait for next time.
We went in the spring, it was perfect - like a nice summer's day in England

LOL true

Me too, all of that. Instead of eternally plastering it with the predictable sound of music you've heard before, all the time.
When the revolution comes, constant music in every indoor space, and increasingly many outdoor ones, will be first against the wall.
YES!!!
I still wear a mask in shopping centres. Although we’re all vaccinated, my son had covid just before Xmas.
I love the sound of silence. 😉
Yep, it's still going around...
