Adriatic Sea music,
symphonies of waves."

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Zadar, Croatia. It shows that city's Sea Organ, "an architectural sound art object located in Zadar, Croatia and an experimental musical instrument, which plays music by way of sea waves and tubes located underneath a set of large marble steps...The waves interact with the organ and create somewhat random but harmonic sounds."

"From damage to gem,
Dubrovnik doesn't forget—
It only rebuilds."

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Dubrovnik, Croatia. "In 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence, Dubrovnik was besieged by the Yugoslav People's Army for seven months and suffered significant damage from shelling." Dubrovnik's iconic orange tiled roofs have since undergone repair and today have an orange-red shine, brighter than before. Once again, Dubrovnik is one of the Mediterranean's top tourist destinations.
"In a rear courtyard,
Smoking grandmother keeps watch,
While clothes dry on line."

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Dubrovnik, Croatia. Dubrovnik is heavily touristed, but as this photo shows, there are still locals behind the walls who make Dubrovnik their home.

"Dubrovnik stands proud,
A jewel cupped by the coast—
Stone walls kiss the sea."

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Dubrovnik, Croatia. Dubrovnik is a walled city on the Adriatic coast. You can explore the city on foot. You can walk the walls that surround the city. Dubrovnik is a gem from any angle.

The City of Richardson is rightly regarded as having some of the best, most diverse, dining options in north Texas ("Eat & Drink"). But that doesn't mean every restaurant in Richardson exceeds in every measure. Here is a list of the ten worst places to eat in Richardson last month, based on the City of Richardson's Health Department Restaurant Scores for last month. Not all Richardson restaurants are included in this ranking. Each month, different restaurants are visited by the Health Department. Only those visited last month are ranked here. Only the bottom ten are shown*.
* This month, thirteen restaurants are listed. Five restaurants tied for ninth place with a score of 81, which is objectively good.
2025-06-10: US Marines invading Los Angeles shows the folly of 2nd Amendment supporters saying it's needed to oppose government oppression. It's tragic how many school kids have given their lives for a theory of the 2nd Amendment that's proven to be a fiction all along.

She laughed, 'We’re already here.'
Mountains held their breath."

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Kortor, Montenegro. "The old Mediterranean port of Kotor is surrounded by fortifications built during the Venetian period. It is located on the Bay of Kotor, one of the most indented parts of the Adriatic Sea. Some have called it the southernmost fjord in Europe, but it is a ria, a submerged river canyon."
But that's not what you came to read about. Today's photo-of-the-day is a photo of a bride. I like taking photos of brides who I don't know. Sometimes you can make up a story about them.
