This may seem like another “so-what” image, and in a certain way it is. Actually it is not a real image - meaning an image that I’m proud of - at all. It’s a memory, and to be precise, it’s a future memory.
This is of course the morning view from my study in Carinthia again. It’s not particularly interesting, just a morning, and during the last 17 months (so long have we been in Villach … so long), I have shown you many versions of this view, some of them maybe even good.
This is all going to fade away. Nothing will remain but a sweet memory.
See the red and white ribbons? They are all over the place, marking the outlines of furture buildings. So far they are nothing but a nuisance, making a lot of noise when the wind rushes in, but I suppose it’s only a matter of weeks until the bulldozers come.
It fills me with a certain nostalgia to know that this place will never again be what I have learned to love. But then: that’s life 🙂
The Song of the Day is “Sweet Memory” from the 2008 Melody Gardot debut album “Worrisome Heart”. See a live video on YouTube.

How sad that this tranquil scene will soon be disrupted by noise, clang and clamor. And the dust, dust and more dust. Will you be moving when this happens?
