It is November, weather is cold, heating is on, and it’s ideal time to do some additional work on the website.
I started with sorting out some old photo material that is waiting to be placed at our ” Old Photos” section of the site.
Going through the photos I have waiting on my hard disk, I found this lovely old photo of Sveti Nikola (my street)
and got surprised how much it actually changed since then :

It is hardly possible to recognise the street – there are no any houses in Cvjetno Naselje, so the top of the hill above Sveti Nikola street is almost bare ( no any trees eaither). These wooden houses ( and stone one ) in the first row are gone by now too. They used to be small ( and larger ) shipbuilders workshops that were dotted all along the sea shore. Nowadays, there is hardly any wooden boat left there, nonetheless some shipbuilder or workshop. That’s quite sad in the way – I tried not to be too nostalgic about past times, but in this case, I can’t help it. It would be nice to see at least one or two left…
