It's also a figurative reflection of times past. You can see a bust of former President of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito. A feeling of Yugonostalgia is alive and well here, since reforms have only led the country into an economic crisis, and the days of gentler living are nearly gone. (Remember, Yugoslavia was always an unaligned country not a Soviet Bloc one.)
Daily Haiku
Look in the mirror
Of times gone, not to return
For better or worse

One wonders how long that sense of nostalgia might go on in the various former Yugoslavian republics.
My friend's nephew in his late 20s who lives in Zagreb is very Yugonostalgic. Nice shot and thought evoking post.
Good you told about the details.
Nice capture.

This is so good Pat. Beautiful shot and composition.
I love the bold red graphics. Nice job Bibi.
Fine reflections in your excellent photo. Especially like night photos.
Can't pretend to understand the intricacies of Yugoslav politics, but I do like your photo (and your haiku too).
Tough times just keep on coming and someone always seems to want to go to war about something and the people suffer!
As you know I don't comment on "Sunday bridge" photos, so I backed up to this one.
Hope you're well.
