Exhibition in Ljubljana - 1 - Ziga Koritnik

Dear Friends
as you know, last week I was in Ljubljana (SLO) for presenting a paper at the 9th International Conference: Origins of Europeans. In the town, I visited the exhibition dedicated to the work of the photographer Ziga Koritnik who magistrally captured "moments of passions and close communication with music". The images, I think, permit to you to appreciate the fine sensitivity of Ziga in catching the soul of musicians.

Bunkerology in Munich

Dear Friends
living in Munich, it is often possible to meet relics of the II World War still at their place or emerging from the ground because of excavations in the town. Some days ago, my attention was attracted by an excavation near a Luftschutzbunker, resembling a Middle Age tower, in the area of the St. Jakob Place. The excavation, probably intended for allowing the maintenance of a big tube, has revealed the rests of an underground bunker of the War. In the past, in the same area, the excavations for the construction of the new Sinagogue of Munich, revealed the presence of another, giant underground bunker. These bunkers are documented in the following images.
