[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Didn't Cain kill Abel because his sacrificial smoke rose higher than his brother's? Here in post war Mostar,after the all the killings, often in the name of God, there is now a competition as to whose vertical religious structure is higher, presumably demonstrating that because of the extra meters, one is closer and dearer to God than those belonging to another religion.It is all so miopic.If it wasn't so sad, God would be laughing- but I think he must be crying at the foolishness of men.
This photo was taken from the KULA, one of the two towers that controlled the traffic across the bridge. I haven't seen many shots of the famous bridge from this angle, hence my decision to share it with you.

Hello Klaudio,
Slightly washed out in the sky but this is an impressive POV. Nice view of the architectures and the famous bridge. Didn't they reconstruct the bridge after the war? Regards. Latiff.

Hi Klaudio,
Beautiful view from Mostar, you had great point of view. The picture is very sharp and I like how many details of the houses can be seen. Green color of river is amazing.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards
Maciek

hello klaudio,nice view over the city with the gren hills matching the green water.it`s a lovely place with all this peaceful nature and the stone building.the beauty of the town is well shown by this high POV.

TFS,oana:)

Hi Klaudi
Great pov of the bridge. The light and details are excellent. You can tell by the colour of the stones that it's recent. The stunning green of the water hasn't changed though. I was there before the war in October 1988 and remembered seeing crazy people jumping off the bridge and it was cold. Unfortunately I don't have any photos as my film was stolen amongst other things on a train in Italy.

Nikki

Excellent idea Klaudio, the result is really good and beautiful, this original POV, in order to have a different view of the bridge, is really good, and the inclusion of the panorama is the right choice, compliments.
Ciao
Vinicio

Hi Klaudio,
It's indeed an unusual pov of that famous bridge. It's very nice, you took a profit cleverly of the shapes of the constructions to make an eye catching image. The light, sharpness and colours help a lot on that also.
Ridiculous as it is, I'd say "let them compete for the highest temple, at least they don't kill each other".
Regards, José.

Hi Klaudio !

Very nice POV ans Idea !
I like this prospect and this composition.
Your note is really interesting.
Good work.
Hvala

Zravo Daddo,
Prekrasen pogled i perspektiva na gradot, ovoj predniot del osobeno mi se svigja kade lugjeto preminuvaat preku mostot. Kolku minarea se izdignuvaat visoko, zaprimetiv deka djamiite se so kvadratest oblik, a ne so sferichen, ili gresham? Super ti e beleshkata.
MNogu pozdrav,

Hi Klaudio,
I like the high POV, showing off this impressive architectue! Composition is very nice, the stairs draw the eye into all those beautiful buildings and the three 'peaks' make the eye wonder throughout the photo. Great sharpness. It's a pity about the sky though, but very nice photo nevertheless.
Regards,
Costa.

Bok Klaudio,
Ovo je doista malo neobicniji pogled na stari most u Mostaru, ali nije nista losiji od onih klasicnih. Stovise cini mi se da iz ovog kuta smaragdna boja Neretve stvara neki poseban kontrast s kamenom arhitekturom starog grada.
Pozdrav,
Vedrana

hi klaudio...

greetings...

Excellent shot, unusual position to see the beauty of Mostar, including the Neretva river and Old bridge.

Hi Klaudio,
The famous bridge of Mostar. You are right, I haven't seen it from this angle. Somehow I still was able to notice it, It's been so much in the news. Beautiful and impressive view.

Bravo Klaudio,
most u Mostaru je toliko puta snimljen, a video sam i mnogo razglednica sa tim motivom. Ali nikada iz ove pozicije i zato sam vrlo prijatno iznenađen tvojim naporom da je ostvariš. Osećam i zahvalnost što si je poslao. Razlog više da se vraćam tvom radu.
Puno pozdrava....Branko
