A Nice Day for a Walk

It literally rained everyday for the past three and a half weeks.  Yesterday was nice and sunny but I got busy doing some other stuff, so when I saw that it was sunny again today I thought it would be a good idea to go for a walk.

I was walking down a nice scenic street next to a small river and I saw this in an open lot.  It reminded me of Andy Warhol but I have no idea who made it or why it was where it was

This is the next street over from where I live.  I think the houses are neat because they're not at street level.  The grass is street level and if you live down stairs there are steps going down, but if you live in the upstairs unit you have steps that are sort of like a bridge.

This is a statue of Josip Tito outside of the University of Sarajevo which is housed in what used to be a military base/barracks.

According to wikipedia:

Tito was a Yugoslav revolutionary and statesman, serving in various roles from 1943 until his death in 1980. During World War II he was the leader of the Partisans, often regarded as the most effective resistance movement in occupied Europe. While his presidency has been criticized as authoritarian, Tito was "seen by most as a benevolent dictator" due to his successful economic and diplomatic policies and was a popular public figure both in Yugoslavia and abroad.  Viewed as a unifying symbol,his internal policies successfully maintained the peaceful coexistence of the nations of the Yugoslav federation. He gained international attention as the chief leader of the Non-Aligned Movement, working with Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt and Sukarno of Indonesia.

The people that I know often talk about how great Tito was.

This is a really big apartment building that I tried to take a picture of while crossing the street

This is a bank that I thought looked neat.  There are a few buildings here in the city that used to look like drab office or apartment buildings (similar to the one to the right) that have then been remodeled.  The whole building basically just had a metal frame built around it and attached to it and then these panels are "snapped" in to give it a modern look.  These aren't even painted.  Basically the panels have been shrink rapped in plastic or vinyl because as I walked up the street I could see where some of the red up at the top is pealing off because we had some bad storms last week.  There is another one in another part of the city where the whole outside was done with windows and on the side is a large TV screen like you would see in time square.
