Sarajevo Olympic Bobsled Run, 30 Years Later
The 22nd Winter Olympic Games officially get underway today, just one day shy of the 30th anniversary of the opening of the 1984 Games in Sarajevo. Above, a shot of what the bobsled run looks like today, part of the Bosnian capital’s Olympic legacy.
Constructed in 15 months at a cost of 563,209,000 Yugoslav Dinars (US$4.5 million), the bobsled…

Circles, in the Round
In her travel theme this week, Ailsa asked for circles. Who am I to say no?
I threw in a few orbs and spheres, too, beginning with Jimenez Deredia's phenomenal chocolatey sculpture, Recuerdo Profundo, which I was fortunate enough to see near the Colosseum in Rome in July 2009. A few more snaps from that exhibit are on my flickr stream here.…

Beggars
It was just as I decided against buying some pens made from large bullet shell casings that I felt a slight tug on my shirt. It came from a gaunt woman with very long straight jet black hair and rotting front teeth. She was holding a young girl by the hand whose complexion was just a shade lighter than her own pale kidney bean brown. I…

Things you’ll find in the basement of Sarajevo’s Academy of Fine Arts
Here's a quick clip of the basement level storage room at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo, shot through a gate. Like a rat, I'm naturally drawn and attracted to these sorts of spaces. Anyone recognize who the broken sculpture is supposed to represent? Looks vaguely familiar. Or not.
A few more shots:
And here's the Academy from the…

Trebević Mountain Polka (Sarajevo notebook II).
Catching up on last month's visit to Sarajevo, here's a four-minute high speed stroll down the 1984 Olympic bobsled run on Trebević Mountain. Apologies for the bumpiness, but I imagine that an actual ride on a bobsled would be a bit bouncy too. Particularly these days when a machete would come in handy.
Constructed in 15 months at a cost of…
