Talk about a new Perspective

 If travel is to gain new perspectives, how about straight up a bunch of stairs? Which means that new view comes with some exercise, so stay in shape!

This is a street in Dubrovnik. I suspect the bit on the left side of the stairs is for carts and baby buggies. Also, no cars can get through this town; it was built in Medieval times. 

I love the modern touch of the stickers on the drain pipe to the right. 

Why am I sharing this? 

In my recent Substack post (click below), I raised a question about the effects of travel on the places we go. In Dubrovnik, tourism brings visitors, but doesn't seem to have made much of an effect on the lifestyle of those living there. I wonder if the architecture and layout of the city makes a difference? It was designed to repel invaders. Food for thought. Any other theories?

Also, in searching for other locations for my Netah stories, I don't think this one will do. Can you imagine an elk walking these streets? Wait a minute...Netahs can shift into humans! What a perfect way to disappear!
