Description
21st Century Photograph of the river of strange heads, a bronze street collection gutter in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The street art gutter begins at the fountain of strange heads and flows gently towards the Ljubljana River with the bronze reliefs slowing the flow. The street is slightly more than a meter wide and 10 meters long between two buildings. Waiting for rain, each thirsty face is about 4 cm in diameter.
The city's architecture is a mix of styles. Despite the appearance of large buildings, especially at the city's edge, Ljubljana's historic center remains intact. Although the oldest architecture has been preserved from the Roman period, Ljubljana's downtown got its outline in the Middle Ages. After the 1511 earthquake, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style following Italian, particularly Venetian, models. After the quake in 1895, it was once again rebuilt, this time in the Vienna Secession style, which today is juxtaposed against the earlier Baroque style buildings that remain. Large sectors built in the inter-war period often include a personal touch by the architects Jože Plečnik and Ivan Vurnik. In the second half of the 20th century, parts of Ljubljana were redesigned by Edvard Ravnikar.
Photographed with a Nikon D3300.
