Wroom!

Although I'm not a fan of bikes at all (I love cars tho!), this one caught my eye on a parking lot of the company I work in. Don't be fooled, this chopper isn't Harley, it's a Honda. Having a Japanese chopper just sounds weird to me, doesn't it? Or maybe in today's world the Japanese have taken over Harleys in the race? They've already done that in car business - I hate to admit it, but my previous car, Japanese-made Mazda 6 ('03) had higher quality built - esp. the electronic parts, than my German-made BMW3 ('07) I have now... the Japanese have yet to get the addictive quality when driving a Bimmer, but... does anyone know about bikes? What's it like in your country? Who's winning the bike/car race there? I know Toyotas were highly recommended and quite overpriced in the US, but I'm guessing their Blue Book value plummeted now.






In any case, I'm impressed by the artwork on the chopper...

Photo family

I bought a tiny digital camera on Saturday, to accompany my large dSLR, and to stop taking photos with my cell phone. Here's yesterday sunset taken with both cameras.

First the baby Olympus X-930 showed off what it can do:



Then my old friend, Olympus E-500, took the stand:

Finally...

... the spring is here! Blooming tree in front of my apartment proves it :)

In my dreams...

... I'm right here, on the island of Pag, enjoying the view and light breeze on my skin...



... in my reality, I'm here:



... well, almost there. :) This is a part of the company I work in (this part is hot dip galvanization factory). Luckily, I'm nicely tucked behind my computer in a comfy office, in a building some 20km away from the galvanization plant in the photo. However, it was cool visiting the plant, watching the process and learning all about it. Btw, the photo was taken with my Nokia N78.

Macro: Droplet 2

I've been a busy bee this week, which means I didn't have time for new photos :(... so here's an older macro shot:

Medvedgrad

The fortress Medvedgrad, watching over Zagreb, as seen from inside its walls:

Warming up

Even pigeons know how to put warmed up asphalt to a good use... :)

Memorial for the fallen...

Next to the southern wall of Zagreb's fortress Medvedgrad there's a memorial for all the fallen during 1991-1995 war... seemingly random stone blocks seem to create Croatia's coat of armor, while the central area is reserved for the eternal flame.

Peek-a-boo!

My mood

This is exactly how I've been feeling in the past week while fighting cold:



Btw, the photo is from Zagreb ZOO...

Luck of the Irish

Here’s a wish for a day that’s lucky all through from the likes o’me to the likes o’you. Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Acute cough is keeping me at home, so there'll be a collection of Pag photos in the next few days.
