Banja Luka

HAPPY FENCE FRIDAY!!!

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.

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:

HBM to all!
