State -  KOSOVË
Country - Albania   Albania
About this is a building destroyed during NATO campaign over the Serbian targets of Military and Police points. Its location is in Germia park, which is called the 'Lungs of Prishtina'-- it is really beautiful up there only there's a few more ruins of the war and a little hazard from cluster bombs (though it was cleaned by UXO units).

Oh I know this place so well..you have really captured the very sad side of human existence! the "lungs of Prishtina"!! kosorars are known for their meaningful names & there is always a story behind every name. & I see that spirit in you too Visar behind every of your photos there is a story & a meaning...& it is not just your story & why you took that photo but a bigger picture lies behind it. That is what i call true art & human expression at its best.
with all my respect

Wow dude, this is something special.

I like how you have presented this shot inhere in the fog, cause I think that this building was ever kind of in a fogy atmosphere, fogy and scary if you know what I mean.

Another great shot from you V. 7+

Regards
B.L.


biljana mitrovic   {K:43920} 11/16/2007
Well,great shot from all aspects....
so full of emotions,messages ...and screaming to not happened again something like that....
and I just must add that we all, normal people from each sides, have sores because of stupidity some wrong people on wrong positions ......and we have that kind of sores here in middle of Belgrade.....I hope it's good reminder to not repeat stupidity ...but I'm not sure....Balkan is very lousy student...never learn from its mistakes...and repeat it over and over ...unfortunately :(....

But let us be an optimists and hope that we'll be smarter and live better and happier here on windy Balkan...:))

big hug my friend

oooh dear Arif,
Just one word :PERFECT
7+++++
Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like the song
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls
Ooooh aah, Mother should I build a wall
Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
.........
.......


Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen   {K:55401} 11/18/2007
Although so sad documentary itīs astonishing seing how debris from lost times can appear so beautiful- there really is something beautiful in decay and destruction, but donīt tell anyone I said that! Who knows what people might think!
The fog adds to the melancholy, but also makes one think of how the surroundings looked like before the war- as if the sun can take away all the sorrow, hatred.
Warm wishes for my Greeneyed friend


Paolo Barthelemy   {K:24873} 11/19/2007
You're too kind to me, Visar.
