#Slovenia raises the Palestinian flag today alongside its own flag and the flag of the European Union on the government building in the capital, Ljubljana, following its official recognition of the State of Palestine as an independent state.
Out of all people I’ve been going #caving, the cave photographers are the worst. You’re hanging awkwardly positioned 50 m above the ground and 50 m to to the next belay, you thighs and private parts want to fall apart in the tight harness and the guy with the camera shouts “oh I just need to make this one more angle!!!” or, worse even, endlessly moves the people providing lighting, who are just as awkwardly positioned as you! 😂 But yeah, the photos are occasionally worth it 😉 This one was done in #Slovenia by my old collegue Staszek Wasyluk but I have unfortunately been not taking part in the process!
Photographer Matej Mlakar: ‘Vršič Pass is a high mountain crossing across the Julian #Alps in north-western #Slovenia. It is the highest pass in Slovenia, as well as the highest in the eastern Julian Alps. One of those peaks is Prednje Robičje (1,941 metres or 6,368ft high), where this image was taken’
#Slovenia sings about a historical figure by the name Veronica... Im not quite sure how that woman connects to the nude-colored clothes on the dancers or the super-tight body suit born by the singer, but I'm sure theres some connection... right?!
Note: regarding #Malta, whereas some accounts state that they already recognise #Palestine, they in fact recently made a joint statement in March 2024 together with #Ireland, #Slovenia and #Spain saying that:
"We discussed together our readiness to recognise Palestine and said that we would do so when it can make a positive contribution and the circumstances are right."
🛠️🍏 Next week, our volunteer Andrés will begin assembling a museum replica of the Apple I computer. It's an "open lab," so feel free to get hands-on, as it will take place in the classroom on the 1st floor. All are welcome!
