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.
