Trsat Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

In ancient times the illyric tribe of Japods erected Tarsat on top of the hill. During the roman era the fortress was built and the settlement around it given the name Tarsatica. Until today the fortress kept the spirits of the old times, and each time you visit it, it is like you travelled back in a time machine. The best time to visit it is when the sun is going down and at night. From it the view is magnificant, you can see the whole coast that spreads infront of your eyes. There is a bar, so you can have a drink and enjoy the views.

This picture was taken from a great distance (half a mile ?) and very strong zoom. Probably too exposed, but again .... magical for me (maybe because Rijeka is my hometown, and I don't live there anymore ? I'm Nostalgic :))

Such beautiful golden colors in this beautiful capture. Your lens must be magnificent to be able to capture such detail as the texture of the rocks on the walls.
It's and enchanting photo of a place that appears enchanted.

The view is beautiful but I think you need to used a lower shutter speed to exposed a little more of this place. I do not think that your picture is overexposed. I like the orange tone created by the light.

YES! I like it! Good chosen to make the photo by the night. This wanderful place became more mystic, great and ancient.
There is no need to say how powerfull looks this light in the night. Nice angle. Great composition.

This seems to be a great place. The castle looks magnificent.

About the photo I think that it was taken a bit too late in the night. This scenery but with the sun setting to get some red/ blue colors in the sky, or just a bit later with a deep blue tone would be stunning.

Pts tomorrow
