[Theme] Nostalgia

[Jakov Minić]

What are you nostalgic for?
I am nostalgic for 'brotherhood and unity', human rights, multiculturalism, secularism, and last but not least, my friends and family!
Once was a country called Yugoslavia...

Tito. The Red Star.

Me, I would just wish for a decent old-fashioned winter with lots of snow. Seems like eternity the last time, although it cannot be excluded that my memory banks are fading?

Outside my house, some years ago,

Great topic - although it makes one sad in a different way
Ye I am nostalgic too for many things
In the interim I am enjoying both the images

What can I say...

I just realized that I cannot find anything particular to feel nostalgic about.  With all what is happening right now in the world, I still believe in the future.  I'm not sure if I'm too naive or too much of an optimist...

I have very pleasant souvenirs, as a sailor, before the war. In the 80's, for about 4 years, Dubrovnik was my summer vacation base, from where we sailed the beautiful coast and islands of Yugoslavia. As a military, I had to go in May 1992 for the region of Baranja as part of the UN UNPROFOR mission. I returned, late 1999, in the region of Mitrovica, as part of the KFOR UN mission. I haven't returned since....

This is a nostalgic sight for me - the house I grew up in. Captured in IR.

Very nicely captured!

Jakov this post keeps haunting me - especially tonight. I was listening to Freddy Mercury, Elvis, and some others and was reminded of the loss of life, not only of people but that of life as we once knew it.  Life is but a fleeing moment.
This image was taken 10 years ago. A decade. How life changed.

Very nicely captured!

Thank you, Erik

Days when a half million people would march out onto a bridge with fear of nothing, not even of it collapsing under their own weight.

Taken with my first medium format camera, a well used Yashika TLR which I acquired for $0.25

And speaking of days without fear, I fondly remember my old organ donation machine.

Image taken with a Kodak Bantam special which somehow disappeared when I went to college.

Yes!

Esla, your photo is beautiful!
I wonder what changed in the 10 years.

Can't we be optimistic and remember the good old days?

Jack, what was the occasion on the bridge? The motor looks really cool! They don't make them like that any longer...

MFloyd knows how beautiful Yugoslavia once was

Optimistic - yes we should be - and I do think we generally are. I certainly don't live in the past - but sometimes one reflects on the past - and it's not a bad thing necessarily. Because the past is what made us what we are today. One way or another. And not everything about the old days was good - but that's also okey - it's part of our history.  It feel (to me) like everything that changed in my life, happened in the past 10 years.
