In 2011 Split, Croatia briefly featured in most of world's media. Not for the architecture, Festival of Mediterranean Film, Roman palace or 140% rise in room nights from tourism but for the horrific treatment of the first Split Gay Pride. Stones, firecrackers, spitting and Nazi salute chanting of 10000 angry citizens greeted just 300 pride participants. It was a very dark day in the history of my city.
Fast forward 2012.. I woke up today thinking ah.. going for a coffee and then off to get stoned.. The day of Split Pride 2012 arrived. This time it was better, bigger and 100% safe. New coalition government has shown the full commitment to human rights and this time made sure that Pride was a success. Split was a better place today then a year ago and so is the whole of Croatia.
I am what a lot of astrologists would call a "textbook" libra. I truly seek balance, and I am enamored by by it. If there is light in me, then there is also dark. If there is chaos, there is order. This is something that took me a few days to work up the courage to do because I doubted my abilities. If there is doubt, there is confidence.
This unusual rose looks like it might have a split personality. It can't quite seem to make up it's mind which color it would like to become.
The side frames will un-mount from the hoop strut, via an M6 bolt through this sleeve -- which will later be cut apart.
We visited split for only one day because the house that we were staying at in-between Split and Omis and most of our contacts were in Omis. However, from what we saw, it was still a very beautiful city. Split is the capital of Croatia, so it is a bigger city and more touristy than Omis. It also has a port where you can take a ferry to Italy if you wish.
We played on the streets during our afternoon there in order to promote our gigs in Omis.
