Corsica (VII)
In the Slopes of Bastia the City
The Corsicans living in the barracks show a sense of humour. As you can see in the centre of the Fig.1 the side face of the barrack hasn´t real windows and balcony. Somebody painted them there only.
First my son noticed this camuflage. I considered the windows to be right and real till that time. Only then I could start recognizing painted figures of people in the false windows with pain green jalousies.
We could see the Corsican Ralley under us to the right, it was disappearing in the tunnel in the rock (The Fig.2). We were entering the Bastia´s atrium.

Then we continued on in our walking the right path till we found ourselves on the top of an easy climbing. The way before us was slanting to the heart of Bastia (The Fig.4).
We walked with no especial goal, in fact we were wandering through the Bastia´s streets and lanes and we were still staying at the higher levels of the city. In one moment we were stepping down an abrupt street (The Fig.5) and then we were stepping up another one again. Due to our longer wandering at the higher levels of the city we could enjoy various views over the city under us. But as usually I took not only whole shots of the city but also I captured manifold detailes. From time to time I had to get on my son´s nerves ´cause every moment I was stopping to take any next shots.

Korsika (VII)
V bastijských svazích
Korsičané žijící v barabiznách projevují smysl pro humor. Jak můžete vidět uprostřed obrázku č. 1, boční fasáda barabizny nemá skutečná okna a balkony. Někdo je tam jen namaloval. První si té kamufláže všimnul můj syn. Do té doby jsem ta okna považoval za pravá a reálná. Teprve potom jsem začal rozpoznávat namalované postavy lidí ve falešných oknech s bledě zelenými žaluziemi.

Poté jsme po pravém chodníku pokračovali v další chůzi, dokud jsme se neocitli na vrcholu mírného stoupání. Cesta před námi se svažovala do srdce Bastie (Obr.4).

Barabizny s poničenými fasádami nás neopouštěly. Často jsme nějaké mohli vidět i v centru města. Pořídil jsem detailní obrázek jedné z nich (Obr.6). Úzká vysoká okna se zavřenými žaluziemi jsou pro starší korsické domy charakteristická.
