Stone Cities

Coming from Sweden we may take space, grass and greenery for granted. Old city Dubrovnik, on the other hand, is the opposite. Everything is made of stone all spaces seem to be paved with stone and surrounded by stone walled houses with small windows (reduces the heat in the houses).

 

 Interestingly enough this does not stop children from playing football. Naturally a children’s game of football can be played almost anywhere and the rules tend to be flexible, but I really enjoyed the more permanent football arrangement created in a small open space in the old town of Dubrovnik.

Opposite this goalpost was another – they were not far apart but a workable solution for a game of football.

I also like the peace sign painted inside the goalpost and the word “ghetto” is painted on the outside – symbolism?
