Sarajevo Streets

In walking the streets of Sarajevo, there is the contrast between the Austrian influenced architecture and Turkish markets. Here are the Viennese influenced buildings in the newer part of town. And in typical Viennese fashion, cafes abounded.














If I could add sound to this picture I would. This was my favorite street in the old town. Each shop was filled with copperwork and as I made my way down the row I strolled to the beat of the tink, tink, tink of copper being engraved. This street has traditionally sold copper handicrafts since 1528.



















As you stroll through the old town, each shop proudly displays its goods, hoping to catch your eye and make a sale. The shop owners were eager to invite you in and proud to share their merchandise with you.




















There's something more desirable about the goods when you can see them being made and when they're so attractively set out for display. If I was in need of an oven, I would have bought one.
