Brijuni
On this strange island in the Adriatic where Tito spent his 6-month summers and kept exotic animals, something old feels most real. The Roman mosaic in a small church has more substance even than the lone elephant. A baby zebra shares a field with Shetland ponies gift of Queen Elizabeth when she visited the Yugoslav leader. A taxidermist had a field day here, results of their work displayed in the museum empty concrete cages left in the shimmering sun. Nobody lives on the island, but you can stay in one of the hotels on the waterfront, play golf in the grassy clearing, swing your feet in the clear sea with blue stripey fish.

Project 10 is a little experiment.The number 10 plays a special role in my life. Every month on the 10th day I will start a poem and take a photo (or find another image), which will be posted when ready. Archives
