Sailor in Pula

2 years ago, i was in Pula, i saw that they removed the monument of the partisan sailor in front of the roman arena. I was already a little sad. This year, i was surprised to see him standing again. But, i realised, that his whole right arm got changed.

When i saw him the first time in 2007, standing on the right side of the sculpture, i could see his hand, showing three fingers. Now, 2012 standing in the same position, hes showing a whole hand.

upper picture was taken in july 2007
the picture below in september 2012

Kosovo again

 

Back from a 9 day trip to Kosovo. Had exhibitions in Priština and Gračanica. Met very nice new and old friends ! 9 days is too short ! And with a flight it seems a kind of unreal. Anyway, was coming a little around. And hope to go there soon again ! Here some impressions.

R.I.P. spomenik na Karagaču

I just came back from a one week trip to Kosovo. They told me that the socialistic monument in Peje / Peć was destroyed. So i was lucky i saw and photographed it last year. That time i was already wondering to find it still standing. The bronze letters with the names of 250 partisan fighters were already gone and the statue itself a little damaged. But as whole it was still good looking.

Soon the main monument in Prishtine / Priština will also disappear .. because of a garage .....
