Here is the last part of the mysterious series of photos that I didn’t take. As you will see, the photographer felt increasingly uneasy and got the hell out of there, no matter that there were two more levels to explore.
As I explained in part 1 of this series, it is all a result of mom showing me an interview with visiting street art photographer Martha Cooper who mentioned this 3-level unfinished mall in Ljubljana 15 minutes from my parents as the pinnacle of her Slovenian street art experience.
The next thing I knew I had a card full of images from there. Funny how this happens.
The series finishes today with a bunch of monsters, some ninjas, an (unseen) man running in the distance, and then we get the hell out of there – instead of to the next level because the passage only becomes clear in the last photo.
Here we go… 
Oh! He has a friend! And if we look around the corner… 
Ramz strikes again. 😮 
All together now. 
This is how it continues. 
I liked the colours on the right. 
Stožice funk. 
The plants painted the autoportrait. 
Slopio? 
Can’t read this. 
The reminder of the architecture. 
The price of a new ruin. Somebody was spotted running in the distance… 
Hrom means cripple. 
These look menacing. 
Now even more. 
Eros does it in red. 
More Hrom. 
Something curvy. 
A whale? A genie lamp? Splash! 
Whereas here it was the whole time – the arrow pointing to the next level. Be my guest.

An Embarrassment of Riches 
You do make me smile, Manja…”The next thing I knew I had a card full of images from there. Funny how this happens”!!! Teehee so tell me, this Mall, why was it never finished? Heaven for guys with a paint can

Right, Sue, and I’m happy for these guys. As for the mall, obviously it was a side project in the middle between the arena and the stadium, the two completed priorities in this project. I hear it’s been sold so who knows how long it will be abandoned like this.

I wondered the same thing.

Please see my reply to Sue. Clearly it was something promised but never delivered.

Keep meaning to tell you that I love the photo of your dog on what I imagine is your porch at the opening of your blog. Such a rich scene.

Thank you, Judy! No, it’s not mine but of my parents in Piran, Slovenia. It’s such a happy and giving place!

I love street art but not so much the graffiti that often accompanies it. Derelict buildings draw the graffiti in. They make some very interesting photos that speak of our time though. So many with so much imagination and nowhere to to go with it.

Agreed, Marlene. Telling signs of the times. Also telling is how such expensive projects end up unfinished. Thank you!

Hello, K! Good to see you around again. I agree, the best use of a modern ruin like this. Thank you! Hope you’re well. I’ve had a busy but brilliant week with visitors. Back to usual now.

Oooh, interesting. Was it spooky, is that why you beat the hell out of there? It did seem kind of spooky. I think it’s the sometimes aggressiveness of the graffiti font with the desertedness of the urban landscape – there’s something dystopian about it. Very modern Hopper type feel.
Love the artistic self-portrait in the fragmented mirrors – tres cool 🙂

Thank you, Sunra Nina, but only taking credit for the self-portrait. 😉 Those no-photography signs, spilled liquids, monsters on the walls… Dystopian is right.

They are really artistic even though they are graffiti, Manja. Talented youths, perhaps?
I love the old house, anyone would love to give it some TLC, and of course, those edgy mountains. So glorious!

Thank you, Amanda, I’m glad you like my offerings. I’ve seen your today’s FF post and will see what I can do about close-ups with my better new-old camera. Today I posted the video that Sandy did for me – a 3 minute memoir. She did such a great job.

I must see the video and look forward to seeing what you come up with.
