Croatia Day 6: The Last Night...


8-28-07

Staring upon a solitary star I wonder how many generations before me and how many after will look upon this very star and cast upon it their wishes, dreams, aspirations...

How many this very night?...

There is an interesting harmony that exists in this town. It's as if the sea rose upon the shore receding and depositing its sediments to create the structures closest to the shore. Meanwhile, the trees and vegetation higher above grew out of the ground gently pushing upwards creating simple stone homes. Remnants of the trees work can be observed by the jutting branches, the root cracked walls, the larger than life trees dwarfing the humble dwellings...

Enhancing the atmosphere, music is constantly playing in the background. The old men singing a cappella, the music school playing scales, or the sporadic live jazz band playing in the town square...

Sounds of laughter fill the air alongside the meandering murmurs of fish in the sea...
