Photographer’s Note

Mostar is a city and municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is situated on the Neretva river and is the fifth-largest city in the country. Mostar was named after its Old Bridge (Bosnian: Stari most) and the towers on its sides, "the bridge keepers" (natively: mostari). The bridge was destroyed during the Bosnian War, on November 9, 1993 at 10:15 am.
A monumental project to rebuild the Old Bridge to the original design, and restore surrounding structures and historic neighbourhoods was initiated in 1999 and mostly completed by Spring 2004. The money for this reconstruction was donated by the United States, Spain (who had a sizeble contingent of peacekeeping troops stationed in the surrounding area during the conflict), Turkey, Italy, the Netherlands, and Croatia. A grand opening was held on July 23, 2004 under heavy security.

Hi Debbie,
What a wonderful shot of this landscape scene with a crispy clear perspective of the far bridge and the surrounding land, indeed it is quite an iconic bridge that has seen so much suffering but with such resilience, truly magic, well done and keep up the good work, thanks for sharing

Hi Debbie,
I looked this bridge in 1976, before its destruction.
I'm very happy to see it reconstructed how in old time.
The shot is wonderful.
Thanks for sharing.
Ciao

Predivan pogled na novog mosta u Mostaru, prelepa je tvrdjava, vrlo cista i ostra fotka, divna dubina fokusa

Pozdrav
