For platform furnishing only the most robust plants are suitable. Here a Pine tree, a Box bush and Olibanum (?) have to suffer for the assumed desideratum of the passengers to see some green.
Now that burkas are so widely discussed in old Europe, you can’t see any veiled figure without the association machinery in the head running wild. It’s a significant discussion, and especially shameful for the self-acclaimed home of liberté, égalité and fraternité. Thinking aloud about a ban of a certain clothing for nothing but populistic reasons is so outright stupid and serves nothing but the lowest-level xenophobic instincts that it is really hard to believe that politicians, even a prime minister, can sink so low.
Other than that, a veil can look magic, sometimes beautiful. I wish there would be a time where I could think more about artistic value than about political/intellectual implications. Oh yes, the image to the right shows the original situation, found in a shop window decorated for winter sale.
