Gangsters?

I have no idea who these guys are, but it's cool graffiti IMHO.

Power...

A detail from the yard of the company I work in - electricity tower (which, btw, we produce):



In case you were wondering where I've disappeared, I've been fighting some cold/virus which has kept me in the house and pretty much stationary. Things are looking better now, so I'll try to keep up with the usual daily updates.

Fitness? Nah...

According to some surveys, Zagreb population is the fittest in the country... you could never tell that by this eerily empty jogging/walking/biking path on the levy next to the river Sava:



Maybe just above freezing temperatures (as seen from the "steaming" river) got all the fit people scared?

At the entrance...

Following the pathway to knowledge, we arrive at the Library's front door. Just in case you got lost midway, the flags are there to remind you you're (still) in Croatia.



PS. The flags were there that day because of a national holiday....

Path to knowledge... or at least a bunch of books...

Pathway in front of the National University Library, leading to the front door:

Oh my god! They killed Kenny!

EDITED (thanks to SP guru Cristobal :)): The title used to be Respect My Authority, but I changed it to fit Stan. I didn't know if this graffiti was Cartman (too thin to be him?) or Stan which caused title confusion. Either way it made me laugh when I saw it:

Lone jogger in fog...

There's always an enthusiast who'd jog no matter what. Morning was foggy, cold, and yet........

Emerging bridge

Receding fog from the previous post has reached the bridge and its sides are already visible:

Misty river?

I took the opportunity of sunny but cold (below freezing) morning to go on a small photo shoot session around the newer part of Zagreb.

Along its length, Zagreb is divided into 2 parts by the river Sava. The river is relatively shallow and relatively narrow so the transport over the river hasn't developed and is focused on bridges.

Whenever the temperatures in the morning drop below zero, because the temperature of the river is close to 20C, there's quite a lot of "steam" rising from it. Also, the strip along the river is usually quite foggy, unlike the rest of Zagreb. This image was taken from the "middle" bridge. In the distance there should be one more bridge visible, but the fog completely covered it.



Also, you can see a large area next to the river - it's a part of the flood prevention system which includes the levvies on each side of the river as well as a few large canals in the event of high water levels.

November theme day: doorway

This "doorway" is a part of the National Library building. It's an entrance for the fire department and it also seems to lead to the basement part of the building. Very ugly and very weird, IMHO, so I added a filter which inverted the photo to make it just a bit nicer. :) Good thing about it is that it's hidden away and visible only from the parking lot.

Lamp & pot of flowers....

Every lamp in the Old town has its own pot of flowers. I'm not sure if the residents are those who take care of the flowers, but whoever they are, they're doing a great job of it.
