You only see what you know (Goethe)
This Socialist Realist fresco forms a decoration in the hall of the Bratislava Main Railway Station (Bratislava hlavná stanica). The mural was created by František Gajdoš in 1960. An intriguing detail is the small sputnik at the upper edge of the depiction.
When I visited Bratislava in 2004, I walked through a captivating quarter of deserted houses. A fine example was this building. The more you look at it, the more you see. After a few minutes, I discovered several animals, a windmill, and a fake staircase.
On a sunny spring day, I took this photo of Bratislava Castle (Bratislavský hrad) on board a hydrofoil craft cruising the Danube River. Several companies are passing the castle by boat. One of them is the modern Twin City Liner serving the line Vienna – Bratislava.
On my walk from the railway station to the town center I came across a park at the back of Grassalkovich Palace (Grasalkovičov palác). This palace is the residence of the Slovakian president.
An interesting detail of Slovakia (and Czech Republic): There are more than usual loudspeakers in the streets. Not only in the main cities but also in the smaller ones. A kind of political information system? Which countries do you know where you can see many loudspeakers in the streets?
