wintertime in the city

December 2012 in Zagreb 
waiting for snow to come 

many leaves are down  but snow is missing 

with Konzum basket in his hand choosing shortcut

Gajnice paradise of concatenated public parks

 finally  ADVENT in Zagreb, 
 city lights too late but better than ever 

Nikola Tesla monument   pastry at zagreb gelateria 

Musical pavilion Zrinjevac

main square  Jelacic with symbols of the past and future 

jelacic square 

transient life of Jelacic square, look who is talking

starting point ilica  street 

flower square new kid in town

unplugged  subtle Garnierung is missing

Gajeva street in blue, scent of Zimt

talking about Art and Religion
 persuading an purpoted egyptian

St.Nicolas

 secret gift-giving:

be aware of wicca

tree power

Zagreb green city
in tune with nature


panacea for all corporate hurts:   give tree a hug

dunno what to do                       plant a tree

there's always a light behind the bars 

urban practice in Zagreb ad hoc fostering continuum 

Zagreb tradition:
a sets of concatenating public parks modeling urban structure of Zagreb
up to detailed single tree protection:

highly prominent site  has distinguished  stairs leading up to the Tree

less luck in choosing the site but simply adored by fellow citizens

more luck  new builging stepped back because of the tree
a cosy caffe find his place here too

Learning from Zagorje zelene

Zagorje 2011 autumn


enjoy in life in autumn in "Zagorje zelene"
The recept for city integration: fit-split-consent-transcend
city as melange of meaningful or focused  communities

it was all for free:  genuine music food and theatrical performances, Gute Laune- friendly faces, sense of belonging to human kind


It was in Marija Gorica  for the first time, gifts from nature transferred to us fellow travelers too

all for free  - degree of  modesty expected 

 judging the best cook in Marija Gorica
