This is one of the few posts that is inspired by an image, not a story. I found the original image of Facebook (see below) and reminded me of a photo published in summertime Arguments and Facts newspaper issue back home in mid-90s. It was a shot of a large map of Crimea with a laundry bucket placed at the location of the Black Sea, a person’s hands pouring ink and salt (from respectively marked containers) into the water in the bucket, the person’s feet and legs in the bucket too. It struck me as hilarious way a person would be pretending to be on a sea vacation in most mainstream of all luxurious beach-summertime places. It looked like they couldn’t afford, and yet still, in humorous way used their imagination, even if only for a couple of minutes of wonder and laughter, to mask frustration and long time stress.
So this image above reminded me of that and if the longtime absence of my own vacation. I guess I need to come up with my own fantasy. Still, I’d sacrifice a vacation for yet another year just to stop blood being shed Crimea, in billion of buckets.
