01-28-12 Dubrovnik's Stradun

I have several photos I took in and around Durbrovnik, Croatia, and when I post them here, I wonder how many tens of thousands of other tourists have photos from the same location.But anyone who has wondered the same thing knows that there is something special about having your own pictures. It is perhaps some odd way of tourists marking territory.

A City By the Sea

This is a view of the outskirts of the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia.

10-28-09 Promenade

This photo was taken on the Stradun, the main street that runs through the center of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Many European cities have parts that are "people friendly," including Dubrovnik. No cars allowed - only pedestrians. This is a strange concept to a citizen of the US who lives in a city that is missing sidewalks in many key places. You want to walk to Walmart? You must be kidding!

What I like about this photo is that usually the dog leads the people but this dog is doing all it can to keep up with these children, who seemed pretty focused on going somwhere.

03-10-09 Sleeping Cat - Dubrovnik, Croatia

"The name you will never guess. The name that no human research can discover, But the cat himself knows and will never confess." TS Eliot

This orange tabby cat was resting comfortably amidst the rush of tourists near the Stradun in Dubrovnik. He is a carbon copy of our cat, Mac, and apparently lives near this stone bench because I have seen this same orange cat sleeping in almost the same place in an album of photos some one else had posted of their visit to Dubrovnik. Life is good!
