Changing Seasons 06
Posted on June 8, 2015
It has been six months since I started taking part in Cardinal’s changing seasons photo challenge. This time of year Maksimir (the oldest and nicest park in Zagreb) receives the most visits from its citizens and tourists alike. If you have a look at previous posts about Maksimir, you’ll hardly recognise it, still there are two buildings that I tend to show each month that are the landmarks of this beautiful park.
Don’t leave without listening to the “Human Nature” cover by a famous Croatian duo – 2 Cellos.

For the fifth month in a row I have the pleasure of participating in the photo challenge run by Cardinal Guzman. He suggested we should go to the same location every month this year and capture all the seasonal changes. When I agreed to participate I had no idea how much I would enjoy going to this park over and over again. I give you Maksimir – Zagreb – TAKE 5.

Monthly Photo Challenge: The Changing Seasons 01
Posted on January 14, 2015
Stretching in an area of 316 hectares with five lakes and a zoo, Maksimir is the favourite place to unwind for many citizens of Zagreb. When Cardinal said we should take photos every month of a place in our city to show seasonal and other changes, I could not think of a better one. Winter is not glamorous in my parts, the virginal snow here lasts for a few hours at most to be quickly replaced with squishy, muddy, gray mush, but even in this grayish, bleak coat Maksimir remains my preferred part of the town, and also the one I draw my earliest childhood memories from.

My favourite encounter that day
Looks solitary, but it is not.
Reflective moment
Colours nevertheless
We are tall
