Perhaps it's the writer in me, but I've always had a fascination for cemeteries.* > > *The concept of them, the need to know where we left someone and the comfort that provides us with offers tremendous insight in how we work. How clueless we are and how frighteningly small our understanding of death (and implicitly existence) is.* > > *Cemeteries are a place designed, in my opinion, not for the dead, but exclusively for the living. They are places designated for grief, which gives us this funny illusion that grief can be managed, if only we assign a particular place for it.* *** https://s20.postimg.cc/9x6smjpfx/Curie_Divider_upvote_BIG.png

They are history lessons and I think they are worth visiting. In my home place there are several old castles. Some of them are in better shape than others. The Old Castle of Ostrožac or Stari grad Ostrožac is very big castle and very beautiful one. It is located in city Cazin which is in north west part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. . Croatia is very close, you can see the mount Plješavica from the Castle which is natural border between two country.* *** https://s20.postimg.cc/9x6smjpfx/Curie_Divider_upvote_BIG.png

Featured Author: @lichtkunstfoto [Fürstlich Drehna - Infrared Photography on HIVE](https://hive.blog/hive-194913/@lichtkunstfoto/fuerstlich-drehna-infrared-photography-on)

Yesterday I was out and about with my camera in Fürstlich Drehna. The town in southern Brandenburg is exactly 100 kilometres away. The journey in the air-conditioned car was quite relaxed despite the busy motorway. When I got out in Drehna, it was as if someone had hit me in the head with a roof batten; 32°C and not a breath of fresh air. But what don't you do for art? Infrared photography also works better when there is a lot of infrared light, i.e. in the summer heat.* > > *In the heat, I was the only crazy person walking through the park. There had to be something good about the whole thing. I could just start taking pictures. Nobody was in the picture, nobody asked strange questions.* *** https://s20.postimg.cc/9x6smjpfx/Curie_Divider_upvote_BIG.png Posts for this author showcase were selected by Curie curator @alcibiades with the help of other curators.
