Mostar is not a big city, but even here it can get pretty crowded during rush hour, and the cars can pile up in long, seemingly never-ending lines. This is of course true during the period when people get home from work, but also Saturday Mornings. Lots of cars flood the exits of the city, on their short journey for the weekend.

Great view of the city. It seems like the traffic on Fridays can be horrible anywhere, I had trouble getting home from work yesterday. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Eileen.
DeleteWish you and your friend a lovely weekend Mersad.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
and keep on with your lovely photo work.....i like them a lot.
Thanks a lot Joop!
DeleteVery nice shot of a cozy city in the valley. Just perfect in black and white.
ReplyDeleteVery nice view!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian.
Delete(one photo loaded very easily for me today). :)
ReplyDeleteThey do load after all. Good to know. Thanks for sticking with me. :)
Delete(and i'm able to leave a comment, too. some days it will not recognize that i am signed in with my google profile and i try several times.)
ReplyDeleteYou have to pick your Google Account under the comments box (Where it says Reply As). Sometimes Google doesn't recognizes it. That happens to me too sometimes on other blogs.
DeleteBeautiful view!!
ReplyDeletea beautiful view of your city, i think even small towns or cities have rush hours....
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra. I agree. Everyone seems to own a car these days, and traffic during rush hour, not matter of the size of the place can be horrific.
DeleteYour b/w shots are making me rethink my own shots more. I am going to start shooting most of them both ways. Great photo Mersad.
ReplyDeleteThank you Peggy. Try my tutorial on black and white conversi0on. Maybe It'll help you.
DeleteA wonderful view of your city it is indeed! Terrific capture as always, Mersad! Thanks for sharing! Hope you enjoy a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sylvia, I did enjoy it.
DeleteNice shot! I like it in black and white. Yeah traffic here in Portland can get pretty bad - especially on Friday afternoons when everyone's heading out of town.
ReplyDeleteI guess that's an universal thing.
DeletehiMersad I don, t like traffic. I prefer the peace and quiet of the countryside.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Traffic can be tiresome. I crave the peace of the countryside often.
DeleteIt's a beautiful picture of your city. I would think you could easily sell prints of this one in some of the local gift shops.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should try. :D
DeleteGreat city view. So sharp in its details!
ReplyDeleteOh, you were able to capture almost the whole city. I love this a lot. You were somewhere high up taking this great picture. Mersad, this is a wonderful composition and colors are simply stunning. Tones are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes I was up on the local hills.
DeleteNice job on the updates to FMTSO!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Rebecca. Glad I could do you justice.
DeleteThat's an amazing shot, Mersad, so sharp. Is it possible the details seem clearer because of the black and white?
ReplyDeleteI used my tutorial on sharpening images to get them to pop out. But yes the contrast of the black and white helped too.
DeleteNice black and white shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Randy.
DeleteWow, Mersad. Mostar looks huge in this photo, and mostly re-built from the war, too. I wonder if you took this pic from a mountainside because it seems nestled in a mountainous area and you're looking down from above. Cool black and white photo.
ReplyDeleteYes I took it from a mountainside. There is a spot that can be reached by car, where you can view most of the city. And yes, almost all of the buildings have been rebuilt. The war ended 1995.
DeleteCity views are interesting. I see you have quite a few high rise constructions... presumably homes?
ReplyDeleteYes they are homes -- up to 15 floors i think.
Deletesuch a beautiful view! and excellently photographed.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shot Mersad.. What an excellent spot you had for this one!
ReplyDeleteYes I did. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteLove how you composed this - you can feel the essence of the Friday/weekend spirit in the crowds and traffic!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to have discovered your blog. Magnificent shot - aerial, I assume. And the use of black and white gives it a timeless feeling.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting.
DeleteMersad, I came back to see if you left me a response to my comment, and found I didn't leave the comment. I must not have hit 'post'..... Do like your use of B&W. But I think it is also that you are using a tripod (?). I tried using one the other night to get some 'lights' shots and found them disappointing. My camera picked up distractions, power lines and such, that my eye was not aware of. Definitely a new skill set.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes I did use a tripod here. And the night shots you mentioned can sometimes not work out. I think it's important to visualize the subject before shooting, because power lines are hard to erase from an image.
DeleteMy mind's eye was seeing one thing and my camera lens another. I stress my visualizing because my vision is not good and at night even worse. But will try again, in the neighborhood and when it isn't raining.
DeleteAbsolutely amazing capture, Mersad! Wow! I love the views!
