I seem to have developed a habit of photographing graffiti on recent trips, and this visit to Slovenia is proving to be no exception. While a lot of the graffiti in Venice was just random text scrawled on the wall (and there was a lot of graffiti in Venice), and Postojna had a few decent pieces that I just wasn’t able to get back to, Ljubljana seems to have rich pickings.

For starters, there’s an area called Metelkova which started as a squat in a former Army barracks, and has now developed into an “autonomous” community. It seems that while the local government won’t formally approve of people living in the buildings and pretty much doing as they like, they also haven’t knocked it all down or actually evicted people. It seems a bit complicated, but the point is that there’s loads of weird DIY stuff everywhere, and a load of graffiti to go with it.

Elsewhere, we’ve got that old classic…

And finally, something I spotted on my way to Metelkova early this morning…
