Thursday’s Special: Urban Art

You don’t have to wait in lines or purchase tickets to see it. It is out there open to everybody and free and it changes the character of a town or at least some parts of it. It is called urban art and I love it.   If you want to join this challenge, link to this post and leave me your links in…

February – Gong Xi Fa Cai

For many, February is a brutal month, with winter at its worse, flu season at peak, and the sky looking as if it will never get blue again, but it is also when the Chinese celebrate the New Year, and this year they decided to do it in Zagreb.   Festively dressed Qin Shi Huang warriors (already wrapped for the trip back home) defending…

Seizing the Time

Oops!

Pero the pigeon was one of my regulars and I shot him some years back. The balcony was always a mess after he had left.

Black & White Sunday: Landmark

Thursday’s Special: Time (response to guest challenge)

It’s summer, early in the morning, a week day, and many of the residents have fled the town to enjoy their holidays at the coast. The place looks still and strangely empty, as if frozen in time.    (click on the image to zoom in) This…
