Sarajevo (Cyrillic: Сарајево) is the capital city and largest urban center of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with an estimated total population of approximately 450,000 people (304,136 in Sarajevo proper) (as of December, 2006). It is also the capital of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina entity, and the de jure capital of the Republika Srpska entity, as well as the center of the Sarajevo Canton. Sarajevo is located in the Sarajevo valley of Bosnia proper, surrounded by the Dinaric Alps and situated around the Miljacka river. The city is famous for its traditional religious diversity, with adherents of Islam, Catholicism and Orthodoxy peacefully coexisting there for centuries.

Although settlement in the area stretches back to prehistoric times, the modern city arose as an Ottoman stronghold in the 15th century. Sarajevo has attracted international attention several times throughout its history: In 1914 it was the site of the assassination that sparked World War I, while seventy years later it became the host city of the 1984 Winter Olympics. More recently, Sarajevo underwent the longest siege in modern military history during the Bosnian War. Today the city is recovering and adjusting to a post-war reality, as a major center of culture and economic development in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Sarajevo is located close to the center of the triangular shape of Bosnia and Herzegovina in southeastern Europe. It consists of four municipalities (or "Općina"): Centar (Center), Novi Grad (New Town), Novo Sarajevo (New Sarajevo), and Stari Grad (Old Town). Greater Sarajevo includes these and the neighbouring municipalities of Ilidža and Vogošća. The city has an urban area of 141.5 square kilometres (54.6 sq mi)....

Zdravo Zorica,

predivne boje i atmosfera Sarajeva. Vrlo mi se svidja ovo magleno jutro koji izginja u horizontu a ipak se cuti malo sunca u daljavi. Prekrasno!

Lep suncan pozdrav iz Ljubljane,
Jeri

Zdravo, Zoko:)

Prelepa razglednica Sarjeva u magli! Prelepe nežne boje, ponovo romantična atmosfera (ili se to meni samo čini). Naročito me oduševljavaju ovi kandelabri:)

Pozdrav i lep vikend,
Slavica

PS I srećan ti Dan zaljubljenih!

Zdravo Zorice. Nice PoV that creates wonderful depth accentuated by the street lamps which disappear towards the vanishing point. The barely perceivable buildings on the left add to the mood.Well done. Pozdrav. Klaudio.

Ovo si odlicno uradila, magla, setaci, reka i odlicna perspektiva. Mozda si mogla samo auto da iseces. Ali, ne mari.

Pozdrav Zorica,

Lepa, lepa, super ambient, ki ga naredi megla, prav tako zelo dobra kompozicija, z lampami, ki vodijo oči v daljavo.

Pozrav.

Ćao Zorice, do sada sam smatrao najboljom tvojom fotkom panoramu Valjeva u zimskom odelu, a sada joj ova prilično konkuriše, zbog super atmosfere i pogleda niz pločnik i ono malo sunca što grije Sarajevo kroz maglu. Very big čestitke! Branko

Hi Zorica

The fog and blur view here works well to bring some mystery and mood for this well composed corner scene. Well done.

TFS, bill

Hello my friend,
The fog is always making the ambience very fantastic, the street lamps' sight in fog with great perspective sense, is glamorous indeed.
Cheers..

Selnur

Marvelus POV and wonderful colors MSF.
I think that is one of your best lately.
Excellent perpective. I like very much the way that the left building appears slightly and its color give to the shot a misterius mood.
Bravo Zorica
