GLOOMY MORNING IN THE CITY

I had to do some stuff in the Health Insurance Fund offices yesterday. Please don't ask me what. It isn't easy to explain nor is it relevant to this post.

Here you can see the parking lot where I left the car. I had less than thirty meters from there to the office.
The building shown in the background of this opening shot isn't the one I visited yesterday. No Health Insurance Fund can be found under that roof.

Here I zoomed in on the illuminated windows. There was a surprisingly photogenic geometry and interplay of colors in these very dull, ordinary windows of a relatively boring building.

These are the gothic windows of the building that hosts the Health Insurance Fund offices and some other stuff.

It's a pretty large old building. A palace of sorts. It shows elements of Venetian architecture. You can see the thing in its entirety in this shot. In the following photograph ...

... you can take a look at some lovely decorative elements on the roof.

One of the windows shown in this and the following shot is walled and therefore impenetrable for non-supernatural eyes, while the other ...

... shows a small fragment of the office I visited half an hour earlier.

(Enlargeable)

There were interesting small differences between the windows all around the building. Never did I notice them before.

These two have cool tubes or tentacles.

Near the Health Insurance Fund palace, there is an abandoned piece of architecture that looks like some kind of hangar or a storage building.
After taking this exterior shot ...

(Enlargeable)

... I entered.

(Enlargeable)

There wasn't much to see inside.

(Enlargeable)

But I like ruins so I took a few shots.

(Enlargeable)

The ceiling was well-equipped with vintage neon lamps when the place was still functional.

This is a detail from the building's exterior.

This photograph shows the building across the street.

(Enlargeable)

That one was in much better shape.

This piece of street art was photographed near the parking lot.

AND THAT'S IT. AS ALWAYS HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.

As usual, it's like you take us by the hand to walk with you; it makes the journey a lot more interesting. Besides, I'd never seen windows with tentacles before, haha, let alone gothic, gothic windows with tentacles! The second picture gives me the creeps; it reminds me of that scene in Polanski's The tenant 🙈

Well, I won't ask what you were doing there,but I do want to know if you solve whatever your business was there. Just wishing you the best so we can continue enjoying of your great photos ❤️

I'm Slovenian, so Istria is not really foreign land, far far away :) I was in Pula's roman arena last year. It's way bigger as it seems on photos

No doubt, this building is very old and its condition is very rough. But You find some great stuff to show. Its windows looks so pretty.

Wow! The atmosphere and lighting looked quite gloomy! Perhaps you went out too early, the sun was still sleeping.
Perhaps there was an eclipse made by a giant UFO high up in the sky. You should be alert in this kind of light! Never know what’s going to happen out of the blue! 🙀

You must have really use a top camera to see that even after you zoom, it was still able to retain it's quality

When the weather is good like this, it's heartening to travel. There is a lot of rush here, especially at places like this, when a person has to work, it takes a lot of time.

It's never nice to see an abandoned building. Nice photos though.

I like the building picture across the road, the color of the building is nice and with a tree it gives a beautiful view...
That window shot is lovely with dull light .
Have a great day 😊
