Up and down, a photo from Bar, South

Photographer's Note

No matter the size of the up,there is always the next down :)this is life

Taken on the walls of the Old Bar Fortress, situated on a 4-hectare hilltop just four kilometers from the sea.
It consists of an enclosed town of around 600 buildings of public, religious and military character. The majority of the buildings date back to the Middle Age and Renaissance period. Other buildings belong to the period of Turkish occupation. All the buildings are located inside the city walls and most of them are ruined. Residential architecture has late Gothic, Renaissance, and oriental elements.

took a holiday cruise around the adriatic coast last week,this is one of the places we went to.
there are 3000 steps to the fortress at the top and it was too hot and i was too lazy to go up them.
hope you enjoyed the walk.
nice composition and exposure,i will post some photos of the voyage into the harbour later as it was magical.

It is impossible not to notice this one in the gallery. A definite eye-catcher with the pov and pp.
Such a POV that confusing where the ground or depth are. Reminds of Escher's works where carpet opens to an endless landscape or where stairs go up to underground...

It is becoming a great joy to watch Montenegro via your camera :)

Buna,
e foarte interesant, aproape nu se vede unde e scara si unde sunt peretii. Fara cei doi turisti ar fi fost greu de dezcifrat, atunci e bine ca l-ai inclus!
Pup, Johannes
