The Dragons, sculptures, etc...

From my earliest age I have been admiring the sculptures in Zagreb. Probably my favourite is St, George and the Dragon by Fernkorn. The statue is placed in the corner of the Marshal Tito's square.

Zagreb: St.George and the Dragon in front of the Kamenita vrata (the entrance into the old Gradec). Statue is by A. Kompatschera and A. Winder. It is interesting that the Dragon looks like an amphibian. This statue was placed there just a few years ago. Before that it was "hidden" in one of the gardens of a palace in Gornji grad (Gradec).

One of the sculptures I always liked seeing is "Peasants" - relief by Ivan Mestrovic. — Zagreb: Trg bana Josipa Jelačića. It is placed in one of the corners of the building, high above the ground.

This is the scene that has nothing to do with the above sculptures, of course. I loved the early morning light seen from my window, so I took a shot.

Photographing...

Walking and taking shoots...

The griffons on the Dragon bridge in Ljubljana. I have shoot it in a hurry while passing by, so in is not very clean and clear by the photography standards.

Some old illustrations

About a decade ago I made a series of woman superheroes (.. and some other) drawings.

Shooting everything...

A few shots of Ljubljana on a late Spetember Sunday, after a visit of the local flea market.

Early October 2014. An excellent weekend: both Saturday and Sunday (4th and 5th) were perfect for snorkeling with the sea temperatures 22°C.

Some nice photographs from 2008 (2)

Here are some more photographs by Maša from the Zagreb ZOO, on a late October day of 2008.

 "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a cute animal before?"

 "O.K. You've seen me. If you have no treats to offer me, move on..."

 "This sunny weather is just right for a nap."

 "I am watching you, too!"

 "This is a nice spot to rest"

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

Some nice photographs from 2008

In late October of 2008, Maša and I went to the photo-safari in the Zagreb ZOO. Here are some of the photographs Maša shot that day.

The entrance is over the bridge.

"At last a decent meal. I am famished! I don't need any help with it. Thanks!"

 "Uh, this October sun shines so bright it's hurting my eyes!"

"I am not speaking to you today!"

"I am the queen! Any objections?"

"..and this feather belongs in this place..."

"Here I am: on the top of the world!... But how do I get down from here?"

"Who? What?... Sorry, it seems that I dozed off for a moment. What did you say?"

" Am I seeing a treat on the ground? Yes, it's a snack!"

"I am not sleepy... I'll just lay down and take some resssssst..zzzzzzzz...hrrrzzz!"
