The Slovenian Parliament Building

These sculptures of naked men, women, and children adorning the main entrance to the Slovenian Parliament reminded me so much of Oslo's Vigeland Park.

The Joze Plecnik house and museum. This site was under renovation and remodel at the time of our visit. It is scheduled to reopen in 2015.

While Marc and I were walking around the city center, we saw this dog looking out of a window. Isn't he cute?

A quiet alley

Taken on a quiet Sunday afternoon. It gave me the impression people here had Sunday blues big time. The atmosphere was so eerily quiet, I too had the Sunday blues even when I was on vacation. Imagine that!
