Black & White Sunday: Architecture 02 (Response to Guest Challenge)

Today my B&W Sunday is actually a response to the guest challenger’s post architecture.

As you can see on Cardinal’s post we are doing architecture again. This time I went out with a different lens and got slightly different results.

Cibona Tower, Zagreb

Famous basketball player that died 22 years ago

Cibona Tower again from a street

Cibona Tower closer

Drazen’s reflection in a window

Graffiti for a change

Happy and peaceful Sunday to all of you!

I’ve been struggling with butterflies today. Your buildings are beautiful in their stillness and definition and solid airiness – and their black and whiteness. I’m feeling a bit bereft of company today, now the wedding’s over. I hope I get to see family tomorrow. But your blog-company was a tonic.

  I like his opus and the selection was really good. I would have preferred to see it in a concert hall. We didn’t like the sports arena ambiance. I liked the performance a lot, but h. hated it, so….

    Yes, a concert hall would have been nice. I listened to him for a few hours yesterday after you mentioned the concert.

I do like that tower Paula. And you have captured some very crisp reflections at it’s base. 🙂

Stunning B&W images, Paula. I particularly love the last one. What a brilliant sculpture! I so enjoyed listening to ‘One of these mornings’. Hope you’re having a great Sunday. xx

Very effective and the one of Petrovic with the introduced low-key colour is very strong.

  I do love that song. Somehow Moby’s music goes well with statues of our celebrated basketball player. He died very young tragically.

    Hey P – it does go well – in a slightly haunting way – but good – and maybe to embrace everyone a little more because “one of these mornings….” won’t be there at all… and I did not realize Petrovic died young – that kind of changes things – and that bottom photo of the statue serves Petrovic well – your up view showing the basketball at fingertips and then his thunderous, muscular thighs – so good…
