Via Flickr:
I start my vacation today, and tomorrow we are off to Krakow for a week.

The background is one of our blinds with the afternoon sun on it, it seemed too good an opportunity to miss. Ania took the picture, I merely directed, acted and processed.

If you are looking at a small version of this picture, you might not realize what I have done to it.

Delivery Van

We sat sometimes in the main square in Krakow in the morning, having a coffee. Everywhere would be delivery vans bringing everything needed to supply the countless businesses there: arrive-unload-depart.

Here in Lublin people think that tourism is about strangers coming, and hotels and restaurants.

What they don't think about is the service superstructure which comes to exist, the money coming in rapidly changing hands and making more opportunity.

Tourism is about opportunity for everybody, especially in a region that was the poorest part of the new Europe when Poland joined the EU in 2004.

Fitting in - one step towards death

How much do you want to fit in? How much effort do you make to ensure that you meet the criteria of life in society?

The problem is that there is too much effort made to fit in, on a global scale. The more you make yourself fit in, the more you exclude those people who are working at possible futures for society, because they cannot both fit in and explore the future. You are helping to bring society to a dead halt.

If a group stays in one place for too long, it will consume all of whatever it needs to exist. Social starvation or social splintering are the natural end of too much fitting in.
