Nature is slowly awakening in the south of the country, and while true milestones have yet to be reached, i took it upon myself recently to shoot some of the in-progress. These images were taken on the outskirts of Mostar, next to the industrial zone. On the hills, you can find cherry trees, that have started to blossom, as well as young leaves, peaking their heads out of the branches.

A small part of the industrial zone of Mostar bathed in the light of the setting sun.
The next two images have been taken with only a couple of minutes in between. While the first one shows the sunset light, the second one sees the cold afterglow of dusk. You decide which one works best for you.
I love this hour of the day. When everything is still and quiet, and when you can really take evrything in. The city calms down and rush hour finishes. Thanks for stopping by today. The Vienna images are on their way, and I also have some portraits and landscapes from this outing that will be posted later. Take care everyone!

Lovely images, Mersad. I so enjoy seeing your part of the world through your camera lens. As for the last two photos, I like the warm, sunset light in the second to last photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. I like them both to be truthful, since I can feel different things in each one of them. The sunny one is an instant draw because of the warm light though.
DeleteBeautiful...absolutely beautiful and in my opinion, very comforting.
ReplyDeleteit is hard to choose which light on the last two, but i think i lean towards the golden glow.. and the view of the industrial area is so pretty... that tree in the first one is just awesome. i love trees
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra. There are more images from this outing, but I will save them for a future use, after I finish the Vienna series, that started today.
DeleteAt least it's spring somewhere in the world. :) These are all lovely, Mersad. The first and the fifth are special favorites.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your continued support and comments Linda. So glad you enjoyed these.
DeleteThe budding trees are a beautiful sight. They bring anticipation and hope that Spring will be coming soon.
ReplyDeleteThe buds are images that lift the spirit. Spring truly is on its way! Hard to believe sometimes!!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Kate. Thank you for visiting.
DeleteHi Mersad. all the shots are great however I am on a train and 2 of them have not loaded so I cannot give you an answer to your question. now the last one has loaded and I do like it. he blue of the night and green of the promise of spring is enchanting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for looking them up.
DeleteOh, just the beautiful promise of Spring that I needed on this cold, dark morning!! Thank you for sharing the hope and the beauty, Mersad!! I lovely way to begin my day with such promise!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sylvia.
DeleteI prefer the warmer tones in the first.
ReplyDeleteWarmth seems to be something people are searching for a lot these days.
Deletebeautiful colors coming! we had some blossoming but had ice and hard freezes again so i think the trees and flowers suffered a setback.
ReplyDeleteI am sure they will bounce back quickly. There have been some setbacks here recently as well, with strong winds coming in from the north. I think we will have some snow over the weekend.
DeleteThey are all lovely! You have some buds on the trees. I have noticed lots of flowers but the trees are really bare. Not for long, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThe trees are completely bare. It will take some time.
DeleteA wonderful hour indeed!
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW

ReplyDeleteMy favorite hour of the day!!!Gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteAnn
wonderful
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely signs of spring. You have a great eye for lighting. The view of the city with the blossoming trees has such wonderful color. I am amazed at the colors of the buildings where you live. So different from where I am from. We do more "subtle" colors.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
