"Crooked clock"
|
|
|
|
Banja Luka, or Banjaluka, is the administrative center of Republika Srpska and its largest city.
A "crooked clock" has been set up on Banja Luka's Krajina Square, with the hands forever set at 9 hours and 11 minutes to commemorate October 27, 1969, when Banja Luka was hit by the strongest earthquake in its history. This big earthquake was preceded by a small earthquake on October 26 of the same year, and the decision of the then authorities of Banja Luka, that children do not go to school and workers go to work, saved a large number of lives, because the next day the city was hit by a much stronger and more devastating earthquake.
I personally experienced the whole series of these earthquakes.

From the life a farmer

A few days ago hiking the road seen in the main picture looking up at my village, I saw a plowman plowing the land in the old-fashioned way. I knew it was my family godfather Slavko plowing his country. I hurried to perpetuate this difficult life of the peasants.There was no other way but to reach the uphill and dense forest before the plowing was over.When I broke out of the woods, breathlessly I made the first picture.That is why it is more unclear than the others.
Of course, my godfather was happy and stopped plowing. It was good for him and his horses to rest. Especially for the horses, he had to put a gear on his head because they went too fast for him and bit each other. (One would think that these are covid masks).
We talked a little, had a drink, but then each of us had to move on.I hike, and the godfather continue to plow.
Unfortunately, we are not aware that even today in the 21st century there are people who live hard.
Of course, these are exceptions. The reason is the steep and inaccessible terrain for modern equipment, and the prices of the service would be inaccessible.
Respite of the plowman

This Banja Luka street is popularly called "Gospodska" ("Gentlemenly") and the decoration changes every year. That year it was decorated with proverbs and famous sayings. Some of them are also in the photographs: "Life gives us back only what we give to others", "If you seek happiness for others, you will find it for yourself.", "Only when we ask, will someone be able to meet us"...
One of the decorations is in my previous photo, and this one is also known:
