This was my first view of Dubrovnik outside of our balcony from the ship. I knew absolutely nothing about the town besides it was in Croatia so when I looked out my window in the morning and saw a barren cave I was like what the crap I didnt bring my spelunking gear, but as it turns out Dubrovnik is an old town that is neat to wander around in and is based off the counter strike map cs_italy.
The part of Dubrovnik we were in was the old medieval town, you can see the old walls that separate the old town from the modern city.
These are a bunch of pics around the town, it really was a cool looking town. I decided my theme would be looking up at things and going down alleys. The town was full of all these little alley ways and big stairs that just wind around so it is just fun, and very easy, to get lost around there. It was really bizarre because it looked like something out of Disneyland but people actually live there still and don't mind having people wandering around their streets a few feet from there houses.
This is a deep photo of still life, the flickering flame suddenly captured and frozen in time. It signifies the different hopes and aspirations of mankind and how each of us have varying times left before the candle burns up. I call it, candles and stuff.
This is another deep photo, it signifies the pain and anguish of the daily grind. The subject is ever vigilant in his seemingly unending ascent to the top which is in plain site but so far away. The red pants signify the fire which was sparked under him pushing him forward. I call it, Kyle walks up some stairs.
I couldn't read the poster so I don't really know but from what I gathered from the locals, this is the poster of a traditional classical Croatian performer I hear his work is quite breathtaking.
While we were there we witnessed a horrific bird invasion and attack. They just started accumulating way high above us, over the sad saints as a kind of foreshadowing. Then they pounced on the courtyard we were walking through, it was insane they were all flying around like an evil dirty tornado of disease, I think I saw a couple people get taken off by them no doubt they were never heard of again as pigeons are ruthless vile creatures. I captured the aftermath of the attack, it truly was a surreal sight as people tried to pick up the pieces of their shattered world. They all just walked around aimlessly through the square unable to cope with the sudden and deliberate onslaught of these devil birds. Truly it will live in infamy.
For some reason doors and windows look so much cooler in Europe, I think it has to do with their wrought iron coverings they seem so much more classy there. For some reason, at least in the US, I never see iron window bars and think refined or classy, i usually think vandalism or not being able to escape in case of a fire which blocks off the other exits from that room. They all look cool, and people don't care that your taking pictures of there house and peeking in on them cooking dinner and such.
What every good church needs, a giant gold alter to Jesus complete with murals of seraphim and cherubim.
There are a lot of cool looking churches in Europe, like a whole lot, like so many after a while you get very very sick of them to the point where you're like ok come on guys why don't we think about church consolidation. They should think about making one giant church out of the 500 little ones they have in every town, it will be the one true mega church.
Goodbye Croatia, it was fun cruising for chicks in your discos.
