Slovenia is small but very versatile. Mountains, mountain lakes, caves, vineyards, sea-coast, cute towns... and very safe. Meanwhile, I've been in states many times, spent short period in california 20 years ago, and I liked them too! On general, world is nice.

Hello JD & MaticB,

That is very kind of you to offer. Unfortunately I do not have the equipment to put a photo into the computer at this time. This is 1 of the reasons that I guess close to the answer. But, no too close.

Hopefully, 1 day I will have the appropriate equipment & then I will be glad to Post photos in the various "Where In The World", etc. Threads.

In the mean time, it would be better if another person Posted a photo. Hopefully a photo that is as nice as MaticB's, or 1 of JD's, photos.

Best Regards,

Michael

Hello JD,

Interestingly, I use a phone that plugs into the wall. Similar to the phone in your grandmother's house when people flew across Oceans in planes with propellers.

 The Cobblers' Bridge, Ljubljana by Joze Plecnik.

Not one of his best works, but this was an exceptional architect, really well known and prolific. He did many great projects in Ljubljana as well as Prague and Vienna in the styles of the Viennese Secession and Art Nouveau. His work is often compared to Otto Wagner.

Well done! We, Ljubljana inhabitants, admire his every work with appreciation. Photographing the bridge in different times of the year and different times of the day is always inspiring!

That was easy knowing that you are from Slovenia and having visited your country just three months ago. 

We move to another country now. Name of place/building and architect please.

Hello Wally,

Could we be in Greece? Which used to be at the other end of what Slovenia was, before Slovenia was what it is.

I think the picture is taken at Makrygianni St. of Athens and the building is the New Acropolis Museum by Bernard Tschumi.

Great, you couldn't be more accurate, even down to the street name. The museum experience is incredible but will not be complete until the British Museum returns the Elgin Marbles to this building that was built to display them. 

Please show us a new one!
