Winter resting?!
Today was a sunny and a quite warm day! So, I had a master plan to use the situation (after doing some field work) and take a walk through the Botanical garden to relax and take some sunny winter photos. But sadly, the garden was closed due to the so called ''winter resting'' (from 1st of November till the 1st of April). I could not believe! and it made me so sad! I mean, I know that everything is ''dead'' but still the nature can be also very beautiful during winter! And I really don't understand why people could not take a walk through the garden while plants have it's ''winter resting''? Only if it is supposed to be resting from the visitors?! (OK, I'm being a bit sarcastic here!).

Keep universities public and make them free for all
I already had two posts considering students fight for free education - things didn't move far ahead but sadly it is even getting worse. At the moment government is trying to bring new laws about universities and higher education that will destroy universities as we know it and bring the principles of free market and private interest. Some university professors and institute scientists have started organizing actions against this new laws considering it the worst-case scenario for free public education and science.

Old factory Gorica
This is an old factory building Gorica located in Šubićeva street in the east part of Zagreb. It is one of many factories that are left to ruin and have no purpose (or at least an acceptable one!) in the city. Some time ago I had a post about one positive example of revitalization of industrial heritage - an old cigarette factory that's supposed to be a new building for Croatian history museum. I really hope that there will be more initiatives promoting revitalization of industrial heritage in Zagreb because this current situation is definitely the worst possible.

Bad Blue Beuys
This is a graffiti that's been here for quite some time now - in Teslina street between BP Club and Gallery Nova. And I believe that this location is not a coincidence, as the nearby Gallery Nova is dealing with the contemporary art and BP Club is a legendary jazz club. But to fully understand this graffiti one must know something about Joseph Beuys, an extraordinary German artist and also, the fact that Bad Blue Boys is the name of the supporters group of Zagreb football (soccer) team Dinamo. So, I see this as a huge irony in a way - but still think that Beuys would like the idea, especially taking in consideration the fact that probably most of the members of BBB doesn't have a clue who Beuys is.
