Thursday Doors 22/2/24: Along the Ljubljanica 2.

Let me show you some more of my Ljubljana, the city that I miss. Ljubljanica is the river that runs through it, and here are some of the sights and doors that you can see on its shores.

We start at the footbridge with peculiar railing holders which I have showed you before. Then the area becomes decidedly urban with street art and “art”.

Cukrarna is a refurbished sugar refinery turned art centre. We move away from the river for a while and pass a church with the colourful front. I have yet to check the interiors or both Cukrarna and St. Peter’s Parish Church.

Then we continue along Trubarjeva St. with more street art and doors, and find ourselves in the city centre where we meet the river again. The last two doors are from the Academy of Music of the University of Ljubljana. Before that day I had never noticed or photographed them.

As for today, Luka plays basketball again in a couple of hours. I must show you how he arrived at the All-Star Game (where he: dunked once, the second time not so much, and fooled around with Nikola Jokić all the time in slow motion. Some people are upset that he never takes this event seriously, but he knows. It’s all to lull them to sleep.)

I had to do a doublecheck.

The Don has arrived. And in a week he turns only 25.

Also today I saw the first two poppies of the year. The spring is here. But now to Ljubljana as it was last April.

Marching and sharing the load. Lipičeva brv footbridge, designed by Saša Dalla Valle and Tea Fink in 2014.

Aliens, Raven and David Bowie who apparently was in war.

Cukrarna, Ljubljanica and spring. I like the inviting entrances.

Here you are! Cukrarna reflected.

Monument to the victims of World War I.

What a colourful church! St. Peter’s Parish Church. I’ve noticed this one before, just never entered it.

The door is subdued. It didn’t make me cross the road to see it from closer.

The bling steals all the show.

A gate that belongs to the church.

Opposite it’s Vixen Širley, Bush, and a boring door.

Trubarjeva Street goes on in this way for a while. No doors here but a crane for Dan.

Still on Trubarjeva St. The best falafel in town with the view of the door.

It once was grand.

Jewellery and graffiti.

Here you go, the popular view. The pink Franciscan church next to the Three Bridges in the very centre of Ljubljana.

The doors and windows across the river are blurry because the sparrow is in focus.

My family once met the owner of this balcony on a walk and he invited us up there to have some wine.

Back to Square one.

Quite astonished at this Academy of Music door.

Wait, there’s more! Two doors. To say goodbye for today.
