[Leica] IMG: Zagreb

[Douglas Barry]

An impressive looking city, Nathan, and we'll miss your travels showing 
us the world. That said I was surprised to see the panel devoted to 
Stepinac who was lionised over here in Ireland by the Christian Brothers 
who taught me. When I was around 10, he died and was proclaimed as a 
martyr to us gullible innocents and pushed as a future saint. Ireland 
was a different place then and in complete thrall to the church. It was 
only later I discovered his unappealing back story with Pavelic's Ustache.

As always, I enjoyed visiting a new place. As is the case in other former Communist cities I have visited recently (Sofia, Bratislava, now Zagreb), it is curious mix of old and new, and the social divisions are quite visible as well. I was there for work, so time for sight-seeing was limited, but I did manage to set aside enough time to get a feel for the city and on the last afternoon, to visit a fantastic modern art museum. And now I have finished processing the pics and have uploaded the gallery:

Spain is now under a state of emergency, and as of Monday morning, only people going to work (those who cannot telework), food shopping, pharmacy and medical facilities will be allowed on public roads. Strictly speaking, even my bicycle rides will be forbidden. For now, this will be for 2 weeks, during which I will be working at home.
