Overlooking...

... daily business in Zagreb's center requires a high post - this statue certainly has the best spot for that job. Perched on the roof of one of the buildings surrounding the central square, Jelacic plac:

Some other time...

One of my very recent photos, but the two old trams and sepia mode bring me back to some other time... I have to remind myself this is not a scene from 15-20 years ago, but a month ago.



The photo was taken on Jelacic plac (officially, Trg Bana Josipa Jelacica), the central Zagreb's square.

Under the clock... Bonus Vienna trip photo: Drunks made this

For decades, people from Zagreb chose this particular clock at the city's central square (Jelacic plac) as the main meeting place. When someone in Zagreb tells you 'let's meet under the clock', there's no need to ask which clock. The only problem is that there are so many people under the clock e.g. on Fri/Sat evening, that it's hard to recognize whomever you're meeting with. This photo was taken around 9PM today with my cell phone...

Bonus trip photo this time comes from my 5-day visit to Vienna at the end of August. This is the famous 'Hundertwasser haus' which was built under the principle that everything natural should be left like that. The result is an incredibly fun house (set of houses actually), with broken tiles (if the tiles are broken, then obviously they should be left like that and normally used like any other), uneven floors... I bet that finding a furniture (even custom made) must be hell! And yes, in the end, it looks as if the construction company's hiring rule was to be a drunk... :)
