Photographer’s Note

Jože Plečnik's market

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia. As the legend goes it was created by Greek hero Jason who stole golden fleece from king Aites and escaped with his friend Argonauts through Black sea to Danube river to Sava river all the way to Ljubljanica river where they dismantled their ship and carried it to Adriatic sea. On their way to the sea they stopped by a big lake and a swamp. That swamp was a home of big monster that Jason fought bravely and killed. That monster was Ljubljana's Dragon that symbolizes Ljubljana nowadays. It is said that Jason was also first Ljubljana's inhabitant.
