Thursday Doors 10/3/22: Miklošičeva St., Ljubljana

This street leads straight from the Triple Bridges and the pink church in the centre of Slovenia’s capital city to its central train and bus stations.

I walked this street last July on my way to my first vaccination upon finally reaching Slovenia again after one year. I was rather confused and mistakenly searched for my vax point in a completely wrong part of the city. Luckily, it’s a small city and I was able to walk to the correct spot.

Here are some doors that I met on the way. I could swear that I saw a few of them for the first time even though they have been here forever. Funny how blogging, and moving to another country, opens your eyes.

And while here in Tuscany it’s the first really nice and warm spring day, some – like Dan, our host – have snow, some have rain, some have sand storms, some have war, and some lost by 30 points last night. Problems are getting mighty relative.

Some of these photos I’ve posted already for other challenges but here they are all together in one street. Welcome to Ljubljana!

• 

  At one end of Miklošičeva St. is the pink Franciscan church. For some reason I never notice and capture its front door.

• 

  Some doors and statues are up in the air. Cooperative Union of Slovenia.

• 

  Pretty window borders.

• 

  Another look at the previous Cooperative building.

• 

  Vurnik House reflected in a hairdresser’s salon.

• 

  Vurnik house, or the Cooperative Business Bank building, is possibly the most striking Ljubljana building. Vurnik’s wife helped with decorations.

• 

  Fun fact: I was never inside. What am I waiting for?

• 

  Four faces under the roof.

• 

  The door under the year 1907. That’s old.

• 

  Many law firms in this street.

• 

  This door astonished me the most. I must have passed it thousands of times…

• 

  …and never paid attention to it. I thought it was a man with his friend. Probably not.

• 

  A wide one.

• 

  The first couple of stone guards.

• 

  And the next one. This is Slovenian Cinematheque.

• 

  How many memories from this place! I saw many old and new films in here.

• 

  Dvorana means hall. I can recreate its smell right now.

• 

  The view out.

• 

  Opposite is this ugly casino with the ATM handy.

• 

  The last house in the street with more air doors.

  2019: A compilation of rivers with a cautionary tale:

  Upriver
   Strange things happen upriver.
   A gnu says to his friend.
   “Do you see that tree trunk?
   It’s not that at all.  
   It’s a croc.”  (Read on.)
