Spomenik Tri Generacije (Three Generations Monument) - fountain, Sinj, Croatia
Well, it's nice to see only men on a fountain! Anyway, this is the English description in the *Town of Sinj: Tourist Guide* (n.d.): A monumental sculpture with a fountain, by Ivo Filipović Grčić from Sinj, is placed in the centre of the town park. Strongly symbolic, it represents the three men of Sinj holding the alka ring with their arms lifted (p. 12).
Except the men aren't separate from the fountain. More, the fountain design includes two other parts, narrow in the middle and wider at the end. I just think it's cool looking.

8th National Fair of Prosciutto Ham... (20-21 Apr. 2013), Sinj, Croatia
The full title is: 8th National Fair of Prosciutto Ham and Dry-Cured Meat Products with International Participation (from *Sinj Tourist Board* website), which I simplified to food festival. This two day event was open to the public on Sat., 21 Apr. (Ibid).
It was my first festival in Croatia and had some okay moments; but it was badly organized. According to the schedule, there was supposed to be a cultural performance at 11:30a which never materialized; as a result, I lost about three hours of opportunity to explore around Sinj because I didn't want to miss it (so I moved to the music from the loudspeakers).
Oh, but I did sample some of the breads, meats and cheeses! It was also curious, as there were other things beside food which you'll see in the video (e.g. guns, pipes, etc.). It was held in the sportski dvorana (School Sports Hall, according to the *Sinj Tourist Board* website) near the park with the fountain of three men holding the alkar* (thanks to the woman with the tourist agency for this info.).
As for why I have selections of the various cultural performances, it's because there were several news photographers and videographers who, along with other spectators, were constantly getting in my shots. However, if not for this festival, I would've missed the opportunity to see some really cool things in Sinj (I have more videos to post).

CROATIA: KEY BRIDGE IS DAMAGED
Natural Sound
A key bridge linking Croatia and Serb-held northern Bosnia has been severely damaged in an explosion which killed one Croatian soldier and wounded three others.
It's not clear what caused the blast on the bridge over the Sava River.
But damage to it will hamper Serb attempts to regain a part of Croatia overrun by Croat forces at the beginning of May.
Many people were reported injured by splintering glass in Bosanska Gradisca across the border.
Croat sources claimed an explosive charge on the bridge has been detonated by lightning during heavy rain.
They said explosives had been placed on the bridge to prevent a possible Bosnian Serb breakthrough.
The bridge has been under Croatian control since the region of
western Slavonia was recaptured from secessionist Serbs in a May offensive by the Croatian army.
Serbs claimed that just across the river in Bosnia dozens of people were injured by splintering glass because of the explosion.
Members of the UN Nepalese battalion based in the area were prevented by the Croats from approaching the bridge
The bridge was the only remaining link between Croatia and Serb-held northern Bosnia. It was used for U-N convoys carrying Serb civilians who wish to leave western Slavonia.

concentric Križni put (Way of the Cross) statues, Stari Grad (Old Town), Sinj, Croatia
I went to Stari Grad because I wanted to know if the statue at the top of the hill, which you can see from a distance, was Mary. Then I figured I was going into a park, having no idea about the Križni put installation or that the experience of it would take me concentrically around the hill; if you go higher, you'll reach the old church and, yes, the statue of Mary, with remnants of utvrda/fortress Grad and great views of Sinj.
Because of the concentric design, though, the individual statues are numbered. However, there are supposed to be 14 in total; but four are missing. I have no idea why that is; maybe it's an incomplete work. Hopefully, I'll get more info. about that later.
This is my second Križni put experience. I like the art better here, but I think there's inconsistency with the overall mood of the pieces. Also, the absence of several sculptures created breaks in the continuity of the subject matter.
Interestingly, though, the *Town of Sinj: Tourist Guide* (n.d.) included info. that the stations were sculptured by the most prominent Croatian sculptures (p. 14); but I think only the titles of their works are included on the bases. So, who are the actual artists?

#Croatie les monuments de la ville médiévale de #Sibenik
( merci de noter la vidéo ) Sibenik, fondée au Xe siècle au bord d'une baie profonde, fut sur une courte période la capitale du Royaume Croate. Le centre historique de la vieille ville, aux ruelles tortueuses et la forteresse Sainte Anne qui la domine, sont ses principales attractions. Son vrai trésor culturel est la cathédrale St Jacques, construite entre 1431 et 1535 par des artisans italiens et dalmates, en styles gothique et Renaissance. Sa beauté unique et son harmonie lui valent d'être inscrite sur la liste du Patrimoine Culturel Mondial de l'UNESCO (Thank you note from the video) Sibenik, founded in the tenth century on the edge of a deep bay, was a short period the Croatian capital of the Kingdom. The historic center of the old town, with winding streets and fortress which dominates Sainte Anne, are its main attractions. Its true cultural treasure is the cathedral of St Jacques, built between 1431 and 1535 by Italian craftsmen and Dalmatian in Gothic and Renaissance styles. Its unique beauty and harmony to his being listed as World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.

Unfinished Modernisations: The characteristics of prefabricated construction in SFR Yugoslavia
Značilnosti prefabricirane gradnje v SFR Jugoslaviji: Pot od sistema, do tehnologije
Jelena Grbić, Jelica Jovanović, Dragana Petrović (Srbija)
14.04.2012, Muzej za arhitekturo in oblikovanje
Zgodovina prefabricirane gradnje v SFR Jugoslaviji se začne, prav tako kot v večjem delu Evrope, s prizadevanji, da bi se sanirale posledice vojnih viher v II. svetovni vojni. Toda jugoslovanska prefabrikacija ima v širšem evropskem in globalnem kontekstu zelo specifično razvojno pot. Jugoslovanska podjetja so glede na francoske, skandinavske in sovjetske vzorce prefabrikacijo ambiciozno vpeljala v prakso s precejšnjo zamudo, šele tedaj, ko so zaživeli ugodnejši pogoji za to.
