cheat photos on Flickr

I'm cheating for my picture today. I didn't take any pictures during my walks... Was a bit uninspiring sadly and I think I have a touch of back to work blues!

So I'm posting a bonus photo I took on Monday... Still from 2023 so I'm still counting it 😜!

Sponza by Cherrys Picks

Sponza is one of the most beautiful palaces in Dubrovnik, built in 1522 in a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance styles. Its name is derived from the Latin word "spongia", the spot where rainwater was collected, according to the former use of the spot the palace was built on.

The Sponza Palace has served a variety of public functions in the time of the Dubrovnik Republic, including as a customs office and bonded warehouse, mint, armoury, treasury, bank and school. The palace's atrium served as a trading center and the inscription on one of its arches testifies to that public function:

Fallere nostra vetant et falli pondera. Meque pondero cum merces ponderat ipse deus. ("Our weights do not permit cheating. When I measure goods, God measures with me.")

The palace survived the devastating earthquake of 1667 without damage and this fact probably saved the Dubrovnik Republic. Affairs of the state could continue notwithstanding heavy destruction.

The Sponza Palace became the cultural center of the Republic with the establishment of the Academia dei Concordi, a literary academy, in the 16th century, which was Dubrovnik's first institution of literary life.

Today, the Sponza Palace is the home of the most important cultural institution of Dubrovnik - the archive.

It also has a unique role during the special opening ceremony of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival. Actors impersonating the Rector and the members of the Council Minor sit on the upper porch of the Sponza Palace and greet the actors who have come to the City to entertain and amuse the public with their music shows and theater plays. After many skill demonstrations by the actors and a long discussion from the side of the council, the ceremony always ends as the Rector grants the actors free access to the City and gives them the keys of the City in order for them to put up their shows and entertain the public.

Don't think sorry's easily said

Don't try turning tables instead

You've taken lots of Chances before

But I ain't gonna give anymore

Don't ask me

That's how it goes

Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret

Don't let the fire rush to your head

I've heard the accusation before

And I ain't gonna take anymore

Believe me

The sun in your Eyes

Made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky

Looking at you

I can read your mind

I am the maker of rules

Dealing with fools

I can cheat you blind

And I don't need to see any more

To know that

I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind

Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind

So find another fool like before

Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing

Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving

I am the eye in the sky

Looking at you

I can read your mind

I am the maker of rules

Dealing with fools

I can cheat you blind

And I dont need to see any more

To know that

I can read your mind, I can read your mind

I am the eye in the sky

Looking at you

I can read your mind

I am the maker of rules

Dealing with fools

I can cheat you blind

And I dont need to see any more

To know that

I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Cheating On Me by Addi Hemingway

Lately I, I've been rolling with the tide

It swept me away, to another place

Lord knows, you ain't seen enough of me

Why did I fall asleep, on a love so deep?

I fell apart when I couldn't see

I was cheating on me

Broke my own heart, when I couldn't see

I was cheating on me

Our love is like a fading melody

A song I should've sung, a note I should've reached

A loneliness, that I find hard to describe

Stayed up so many nights, I could've been by your side

I fell apart when I couldn't see

I was cheating on me

Broke my own heart, when I couldn't see

I was cheating on me

Why don't you cry?

You live this life

I fell apart when I couldn't see

I was cheating on me

Broke my own heart, when I couldn't see

I was cheating on me

Cheating on me

I fell apart when I couldn't see

I was cheating on me

Broke my own heart, when I couldn't see

I was cheating on me

I've been casting some envious glances at the butterfly pics I'm seeing posted on flickr, especially those from back in Somerset. I've been very lucky with what I've been able to encounter here in Wales however I do miss those Somerset wildflower meadows.

So here's one from last year.....which is cheating a bit I know.
