More of Sarajevo, this great historic city, rising again from the rubble...
|
Perhaps foremost among the shots hear 'round the world |
|
The Latin Bridge, where the Archduke was headed...the Great War broke out just weeks later |
|
Hapsburg flair begins to appear |
|
But wait, we're still in a Turkish bazaar! |
|
A diving line that celebrates the city's diversity |
|
Looking toward Vienna |
|
And Istanbul |
|
Another old mosque |
|
Right next to... |
|
And its beautiful Viennese cafe, Beck's and Cafana |
|
Just a whiff of Art Nuvo |
|
The Roman Catholic cathedsral |
|
Many of Sarajevo's Roses are now gone, paved over; with a red resin, they mark places where shells hit and people died |
|
Vienna?! |
|
Another near the cathedral |
|
Damage on the cathedral |
|
Sic transit, Gloria; Hamami, now a souvenir shoppe |
|
Back side of cathedral |
|
Orthodox church; there were four orthodox churches in Sarajevo in the war years, and never in the 3 years of artillery bombardment and sniper assassination by Serbs were any of these four vandalized; there were several thousand Serbs in Sarajevo who suffered along with the Muslims and Roman Christians and Jews; and others |
|
Something new and different: park benches that fold up for advertising |
|
Chess in a park |

The red resin is poignant.
