Oldtimer - Trabant

A very old car (I'm guessing 30+ years), Trabant, famous (or infamous) for its funny sounding two-stroke engine, repainted in bright red color and comfortably parked among "new age" sedans, coupes and similar in Zagreb's center:

Steps

If you decide to skip on funicular, these are one of the steps that will lead you to the Upper town. They go directly along the funicular, and exit in front of the Lotrscak tower:

Secure enough?

Just on the other side of the street from the broken shop window from the previous post, these doors offer an unusual vista in Zagreb (I've seen similar only in renovated castles around Zagreb):



IMHO, they're fantastic! :)

Not a good day

This small shop window, quite common in the center and usually presenting goods sold by shops in the passageways, is now full of broken glass, not the goods:

November theme day: Public transportation - Funicular

Probably the shortest public transportation line in whole Croatia, but much loved by locals and visitors alike - Zagreb's funicular saves you a lot of step climbing and connects the lower part of the city to the Upper/Old town. The whole ride lasts full 30-40 seconds :) :

The sound of music

I'm not quite sure why this guy chose to be turned away from the people passing by (he's right next to the tram line, facing it)... maybe the music was for the people on the opposite tram stop.

King Tomislav

Here's the King Tomislav from the previous post, this time up close and personal - Croatia's first king, crowned in 925AD:

All in one photo

My ex-roommate used to tease me that I usually take photos that are all-in-one - containing every possible angle, thing, person in one single photo. I guess this would be one of those photos - a fountain, King Tomislav's statue, Glavni kolodvor (central railway station):

Just another fountain

Zrinjevac park boasts several fountains, this one being one of the two larger ones:

Bark

An artist couldn't have made this tree bark better in Zrinjevac park in the center:

Legs above us

Quite ingenious way to promote a shop which sells all kinds of leggings, nylons, socks.......:

Water lilies?

Another curiosity from the Botanical garden - I was told some bit of this is edible (apparently in Japan). It's supposed to be a water lily plant, after the flowers are long gone:
