This is a view from the most romantic promenade in Zagreb. We call it Strossmayerovo šetalište. This is my entry for Weekly Photo Challenge: Rule of Thirds.
It would be my favorite promenade, for sure! Beautiful view! But the best in this picture are the clouds – they make the whole image alive and breathing.
Amazing how this composition rule can make such a difference. If we all stop for a moment and keep this in mind before we shoot we could have some great shots like this.
Looking at the entries so far, the whole world understands this one, Paula! 🙂 Love the music you’ve chosen to accompany it! How are you this evening? Still not well I’m thinking. 😦
“That town reminds me of something.. three houses on the square and flags.. the old longing is waking up…” – feeble attempt at translation just for you 😉 So, you are developing a taste for Croatian music – glad to hear it!
The place above the city where clouds meet the old lantern… A special spot to be at and experience, Paula! I like the touch of the red roofs and…the drama of clouds, of course! 🙂
Josip Juraj Strossmayer ( 4 February 1815 – 8 May 1905) was a Croatian politician, Roman Catholic bishop and benefactor 🙂 We have a lot of streets, squares and even promenades bearing his name. Thank you, Allan!

I take it that Strossmayer is the name of a family or a specific area of Zagreb or both?
