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,

predivan pogled na Sarajevske zgrade. Tako mogucne i prekrasne prelijepom toplom svijetlu. Ima jos malo magle koja daje specialan ambient i neko milimu ovi panorami. Divne boje i odlican POV.

Lep pozdrav,
Jeri

Upečatljiva zimska atmosfera pokraj Miljacke, Zorice. Obriši samo žicu u gornjem uglu i biće besprekorna fotka. Puno pozdrava....Branko

zorice , svidja mi se ova tvoja serija slika magla u sarajevu a na ovoj slici sa obale sarajevo bas fino izgleda .

you have captured the chill atmosphere very well

Zdravo, Zoko:)

Još jedna mističmna fotka iz Sarajeva, dopada mi se, baš kao i ona prethodna. Zgrade su same po sebi lepe, ali pod ovom izmaglicom atmmosfera je sjajna:)

Pozdrav,
Slavica

Hello Zorica,
nice shot with great perspective and POV.I like the light fog that cover the scene, as the canal creates a great depth of field.The colours and the light are interesting as your informative note too.Annoy me a bit,the wire of the upper right side of the image.

Regards,Danos

Hi Zorica,
the photographies with fog always are difficult to make due to the light that it generates. However, the image well is made and has a very interesting POV . I like the diagonal of the buildings, good perspective!

Un abrazo, Jordi
