I feel like the time has come to return to brighter days. And since that is not possible with images taken right now, I suggest that for this post we travel back to early spring last year. This week's theme at the Friday My Town Shoot Out is Rustic Details, and these landscape images are full of them. This location is a 20 minute drive away from Mostar.

There is also something else about this place. It is believed that an old Illyrian tribe, called Daorsi, lived here. You can find remnants of the walls all over the hills. The Daorsi lived in the valley of the Neretva River between 300 BC and 50 BC.

DeleteSehr schöne Aufnahmen, die letzte gefällt mir am besten. Die Lichter sind so schön. LG

DeleteSome of that landscape with the sheep looks like parts of Ireland.
ReplyDeleteI agree, there is a flair of Ireland in them.
DeleteThank you for the 'warming' peek at lovely days. What a wonderful series of scenes, makes winter more bearable, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by.
DeleteWhat beautiful colors and textures in these photos. That is way beyond rustic being from that many many years back.
ReplyDeleteIt truly is Peggy. Thanks for visiting.

ReplyDeleteThanks Pauline.
DeleteSuch beauty, Mersad!! I don't comment as often as I visit, but wanted you to know I do enjoy you sharing your travels!! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather for your support, It's good to know that you still visit. You were amongst my first reader and visitors, and I always like to hear from you.
DeleteI like the sheep too.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYes I agree with ruth, but I was going to say northern scotland.... This look of rocks just tossed about. And I also agree with Brian, the light is wonderful. The yellow and blue tones add a feeling of warmth. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting Ginger. It's interesting to see different views of people about what the landscape reminds them off.
DeleteBesonders schön finde ich das zweite Bild. Schauen wieder einmal klasse aus die Fotos, und die Stimmung die sie rüberbringen ist in meinen Augen fantastisch.
ReplyDeleteTolles Wochenende und herzliche Grüssle
Nova
Danke Nova. Freut mich immer wieder das es Dir gefällt.
DeleteLovely to see a little Spring...
ReplyDeleteI'd love to go back in time to see who built these walls, what their village was like, how they lived. The past fascinates me.
Hope you have a super weekend, my friend.
It's quite interesting to think about it actually.
DeleteOh I love these photographs. They reminded me of days in the country and sunny climes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie. Glad you like them.
DeleteIt's a pleasure to see colour, especially this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It cheers me up too.
DeleteSo beautiful. Gorgeous light.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely, Mersad!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jack.
DeleteSuch beauty, Mersad! The colors are wonderful, and warm a winter evening.
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely! Wonderful shots. The sheep make me think of "sweaters on the hoof." ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lois.
DeleteI, too, love the sheep. It must be difficult farming in this area as the ground looks so rocky. Serenely beautiful pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barb. There is quite a bit of serenity in the fields.
DeleteBeautiful country shots! And the light!... always the light!
ReplyDeleteoh this is delightful. I love sheep
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe color saturation on these is amazing! I love the quality of light at this time of day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the sunset added extra vibrancy to the colors.
DeleteBeautiful landscapes and I love the cute sheep! Lovely photos, have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen.
DeleteWhat beautiful countryside! As I have looked back through some of your photographic posts, it is easy to see some of the reasons why my former adult ESL students from Bosnia missed their homeland so much. It is beautiful there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Susie. Glad to see you stop by.
DeleteI loved seeing these images of the sheep and the pastoral landscape...especially since they are rich in prehistory, which is one of my favorite subjects! I want to Google this tribe and learn more about them!
