Quiet November
Saving Energy
There are two kinds of solar-heat systems: passive systems collect the sunlight that hits your home, and active systems collect the sunlight that hits your neighbors’ homes, too.
Sunset on Krapanj
Some things always look good…..
Warning for Tourists
The Krapanj Broderica tourist board on Krapanj is either upside down or in the wrong place. Please be aware that all directions are reversed.
I have informed both the tourist board and the local authority who installed it, but they seem oblivious to their error.
The sign “To Split” is pointing to Šibenik, “To Šibenik” is pointing to Split, Broderica is behind you, not as shown in-front, the hotel is to your right not left etc etc.
It takes a special type of incompetence to install a “You Are Here” board that sends people in exactly the opposite direction …. Welcome to Krapanj …… don’t get lost.
Update,
Nearly one year, and despite assurances from the tourist bureau that it will be fixed, this sign is still confusing visitors.
Update
It is now July 2024, and the tourist “You Are Here” board is still sending tourists in completely the wrong direction.
I tried to prevent this travesty of incompetence back in 2019, but “Fanto” Vitomir Curavic said he could put it wherever he liked.
New tourist attraction
We have a gravestone, a very large grey billboard, a quarter sized artists plaster model of a proposed sculpture that has been painted gold! Everything done with the silent approval of our elected representatives, these are the same people who spray graffiti and put up illegal billboards for their own business interests.
Our elected representatives should now seriously consider the legality of their positions on these issues, their failure to act or address the concerns of residents will be taken as their approval of them.
