This week, just like the last one, turned out to be very busy for me. I’ve been working hard on several projects and I might even have some results to show next week :)

But, before that would you fancy taking a stroll around Zagreb center with me?

fićo

Hey, look! There’s a little Fićo, how retro and cute that car is? This particular one looks really loved and cared about.

my tram

For some reason, I love taking pics of trams.

hipster spotting

Hipster spotting on Main square!

for bob

Here is a photo for Bob: Scottish tourists in Zagreb!

for isidora

…and here is one photo for Isidora. When I saw this old sign in Obrtnički prolaz I instantly thought of her and her lovely pics of old (and often funny) signs in Varaždin. This one says: Institute for decontamination of apartments and selling products.

Also, Isidora is currently having a GIVEAWAY on her blog. She’s giving away one of her crocheted hats, so hurry and check it out!

dirty zagreb

I discovered that behind every fancy, recently restored facade in Zagreb there is an old, unloved often deteriorating backyard . Here are examples of few prettier ones.

urban colors and shapes

spring flowers

Spring is here! Flowers on Cvjetni trg.

trojan horse

Somebody dragged a Trojan horse on Cvjetni trg. I wonder who’s hiding inside of it.

green table

Decoration on one of the outside tables of one of the restaurants.When I downloaded this photo from my camera it reminded me of Ines Perković photography. Her work is beautiful, check it out if you haven’t yet.

orange chairsOrange chairs are photogenic!

An obligatory selfie in a shiny silver ball.

amazing art

 And, for the last photo of this week’s photo diary I saved something special for you, a capture of  an awesome art piece displayed in one of the photo studio windows :)

I hope you’ve enjoyed our stroll around Zg downtown. I wish you great weekend!

  1. hahaha, ta me slika prva privukla, i onda pročitam tekst. zakon! ponekad mi dođe žao što nisam bolje iskoristila vrijeme studiranja, pa tada nabavila dobar fotić s kojim sam mogla švrljati po zagrebu. tamo ima takvih scena na n-tu potenciju… no, zato si ti tu. ;)

  2. What a colourful place! The red car looks a great classic… and those old buildings! Wow! Scots in Zagreb! I hope they behaved themselves, was there a football match on??!! So, what do you think of Scottish men in kilts… it must be an unusual sight in Zagreb??!!

  3. Predobre su mi fotke! Divim se kako uočiš motive koje ni ne primjetim kad prolazim istim tim mjestima :)

  4. Isidora, da, Zagreb je prepun raznoraznih zanimljivih detalja za poslikat. mene totalno fascinira činjenica da su samo vanjske fasade starih zgrada u centru obnovljene, a kad uđeš u dvorišta i haustore-potpuno drugačija slika, skroz jedan drugi grad.

  5. Bob- hehe, well, I guess they did behave themselves, although they drank, sang and wrestled to the ground one of the women in their company ( a blonde one in kilt)in the middle of main square in Zagreb :) As far as I know there was no football game going on and yes men in kilts is an unusual sight around here :)

  6. Hvala Sabina!

  7. I never saw a Fico before but I love it. I would like to drive one.

  8. Sounds like they were really well behaved! Traditionally, the kilt was just dress in the Highlands of Scotland, Also, traditionally, nothing is worn under the kilt, so the hazards are freezing wintery Scottish winds and in the summer, walking through gorse, Scottish thistles and the swarms of ferociously biting Scottish midge, of course, the alcohol is also traditional as it is somewhat anaesthetising against the fore-said issues :-)

  9. Janine-yes it’s charming little car!

  10. Bob- yes they were well behaved! I was always wondering how Scots don’t get cold wearing only kilts :)

  11. Baš je bilo zabavno virtualno prošetati s tobom gradom :)

  12. Prekrasne slike! Kad ćes se vratiti na flickru?
    pozdrav
    Wolfgang

  13. hvala Wolfgang! uskoro, nadam se , nemam baš puno slobodnog vremena pa sam uzela pauzu na flickru!

  14. Ajme, divne su slike! Posebice 8. slika, di se nalazi ta zgrada?? Ova baby blue fasada :)

  15. hvala Ines! hm, kad bih se mogla sjetit…mislim da se nalazi u jednom od dvorišta na potezu Trg-Frankopanska.
