Final Ljubljana report

This is how I spent the second part of my Slovenia vacations. I’ve showed you how day 1 was won, some doors, windows and wall scribbles from day 2, how I spent the first week with family and friends waiting for the sun, and all doors of one Saturday. Here are the last few days as…

Thursday Doors 2017

Even though this and next week there are no official Thursday Doors, right now I shall put together a gallery of door favourites from this year. The idea came from Judith at Beyond the Window Box as it did once before, for my Calendar. Even though this time I promised her only one post, I…

Turning headers

This is a quick post with my six randomised headers. Say what? Simple: Here are six photos that run at the top of my blog’s front page whenever I’m not featuring Thursday Doors, Weekly Photo Contest posts or something other. Lest we forget, my blog runs under the headline Eye spy, love speak, Volkswagen, or…

WPC: Transient state of love and trust

I thought of celebrating the birthday of my country of origin by giving you some of its capital’s street art since it might not be here any more when you arrive. While the man who sings the song in the title, Eddie Vedder, is about to hit the stage in Florence and I am not…

Thursday Doors, March 9 2017

Today I’ll let the doors speak for themselves. But if you’re there you hear better. This is Metelkova City in Ljubljana, Slovenia, a proof what people might do if we’d let them. I won’t pretend I know about shooting street art, it was also a late January afternoon, not the best time to do it. I’m just grateful they…

WPC: A good match these days is hard to find

STILL, WHAT FOLLOWS ARE ENOUGH MATCHES TO LIGHT TWENTY FIRES. AND ONE SCARY GRAPH. First, as usually, here is the past week on my blog in bullet-points, which is better than bullets. There were: A photo story of my transfer from Slovenia to Italy with no regard to odds; an almost 360 degree view of Ljubljana from the Skyscraper and…

This is history

Today is Slovenian Cultural Holiday and on this occasion here is a little tribute to the greatest Slovenian poet. I was lucky enough to witness the greatest Slovenian poet Tomaž Šalamun read in Ljubljana’s club “KUD France Prešeren” a long time ago. The biggest stir, poorly concealed rapture and what can only be called poetic high…

Who’s the real monster?

Monsters cannot be announced. One cannot say: “Here are our monsters,” without immediately turning the monsters into pets. ~ Jacques Derrida (quotation reblogged from raynotbradbury) Click on the first photo to enter the gallery.

Your Slovenian graffiti whisperer

I recently posted some Italian public displays of emotions. Now Slovenia strikes back. Yesterday Snow that luckily Melts Somewhere else linked to my post among things that she finds inspiring, which spurred some not so favourable comments from Italians. I understand that if you have to pay for the removal of the graffiti, you don’t…

SL-WEEK 48: Silhouette

I’ve just returned from Slovenia with a slight fever (and too many photos) and I can’t brain, therefore just a few slight silhouettes. First the last one taken during our stroll around Ljubljana which is such an amazing city that you really can’t believe it until you see it for yourself. More photos coming up in…
