pearl of the Adriatic, a photo from Dubrovacko-Neretvanska, Coast

Photographer's Note

it's the second name of Dubrovnik...
World heritage site of UNESCO since 30 years
'The prosperity of the city of Dubrovnik has always been based on maritime trade. In the Middle Ages, as the Republic of Dubrovnik, it became the only eastern Adriatic city-state to rival Venice. Supported by its wealth and skilled diplomacy, the city achieved a remarkable level of development, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries. Dubrovnik was one of the centres of the development of primarily the Croatian language and literature, home to many notable poets, playwrights, painters, mathematicians, physicists and other scholars.'(wiki)

I haven't been to Dubrovnik yet but it looks like Malta JC. I liked its sharpness and original colours and also your excellent perspective. The framing is a bit tight I think. You could have left more sea space to the two boats on the opposite sides.

Congratulations. Tolga

Bonsoir Jacques,

a vrai dire le motif n'est pas original, car un milion de photographes a fait le meme. Mais, il est en meme temps tellement seduisant et attachant qu'on ne peut pas resister de ne pas faire un clin d'oeil. Et on se rejouit chaque fois en reposant le regard sur ses rampards fiers de Dubrovnik. Et c'est avec plaisir et joie que je te retrouve sur cette place qui domine la ville. Amities et felicitations,

Branko

JC, there are many similar shot here on TE of this port, many of which I have commented on, but I do believe you have just posted the clearest and sharpest one and I like this closer view. This is really a great capture and a nice note.

Je note aussi une belle luminosité estivale.
J'aprécie beaucoup.
