Savudrija Lighthouse Photo

Photographer’s Note

Istria is the largest peninsula in the Adriatic Sea. Istria lies in three countries. The largest portion belongs to Croatia, a small slice in the north lies in Slovenia, while a tiny region belongs to Italy.

Savudrija is a coastal settlement in northwestern Istria, Croatia. It has developed from a fishing village into a pleasant holiday centre.

The main sight of the settlement is a 29 m high lighthouse which stands on the westernmost point of the Istrian Peninsula and which is also the westernmost point of whole Croatia.

Hi Laszlo,
Wide angle gives strong perspective on this old lighthouse. Sandstone tower looks really nice on light brown colour. Good contrasty exposure.

Szia Laci!
Nagyon klassz fotó, a színek, a kompozíció és a téma is nagyon rendben van. Igazi romantikus hangulat, tetszik, ahogy a dús növényzet mögül előbukkan a világítótorony. Gyönyörű fotó, Gratulálok! Szép Vasárnapot és fényeket!

What beautiful texture to this shot. I also love the olive and tan colours against the quite distinct sky blue, which is made even more distinct by the clouds scatters.
