Buna dimineața, dragi tovarăși si prieteni!
What humbugs we are to say we live for beauty and never rise to see the dawn (Logan Pearsall Smith). Sir Roger Scruton, whom I almost spent some days in 1991 in Bratislava, was very saddened by the electronic adverts in Piața Unirii. I found the lack of adverts in 1990 surprisingly depressing.
Glad to see a few good shots of this town, so very timely! After a few not urban years, the dust here is making me thankful for the darned masks; I am at best ambivalent about the sense of smell, etc. I cannot place the first picture, the best...

The pretini do not recall that town, much that I know.
