unearthliness

I love morning swims in the sea....

When the sea is calm and quiet, the water cold enough to wake you up and the air windless. I love the feeling, when I first touch the cold water, swearing to myself I won't go any further in it, but usually, right after that, I do. I sink under the water table and it feels like getting into entirely different kind of world. World of one colour, simple structures and  ethereal creatures...

Counting down....6 days to go...

Science-fiction # Daily reality

It is an ordinary summer morning and a man is leaving his apartment on his way to work. He closes the door, locks it and starts walking the street. It is a typical street of Brno in the middle of summer - all is under construction. The whole city is dug up and so is this particular street. There are holes and heaps of building materials everywhere, so he is forced to walk the very tiny part of the street through...

..And there are female construction workers everywhere. This man is wearing shorts and light t-shirt, naturally, it is hot summer. All those female workers are stairing and leering at him, calling him names, catcalling, shouting obscene compliments and vulgar things at him... And this man, he doesn't feel flattered, he doesn't feel like he is being admired, not at all,  he feels objectified and insulted...Surprised?

Sounds like a science-fiction to you? Yes, to me too, but try to replace the man with a woman and the FEMALE construction workers with MALE construction workers and you will get an ORDINARY morning many of us experience every day.

summer it up...
