I promise to stop with the valleys after this post, but I just couldn't leave these images here in the archives. While returning home, from the shoot out for my latest photo series, as I was beginning the drive down to Mostar, I had to stop once I saw this sight. The sun was setting and luckily I had an ND-filter by my side, because the first two shots were taken into direct sunlight.

You can see the river Neretva reflecting through the evening fog.
A more sombre view from the road down the mountains.
As I am writing this, massive snow falls have covered up most of the country, and I wonder what these mountains and valleys look like now...

Great shots.
ReplyDeleteBe good to see them in snow.
the second one is breath taking... do you ever just stand and feel like your breath is on hold staring at all this beauty? I have never seen views like you show us and never will. so thanks
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for all your visits and continued support. I am always amazed at the beauty of nature, and I guess that's why I love photographing it.
DeleteLovely images, Mersad! The views of the rivers are just gorgeous.. Happy Sunday! I wish you and your family a very Happy & Healthy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMersad, these photos are amazing. I hope you enter them in a contest or I hope they hang on a wall. Stunning!

I really like your second photo. Fog makes such a great subject.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are amazing in these shots! I really like the first shot. The fog in the valley really makes these shots.
ReplyDeleteDon't stop on our account. Your valleys that you post I could look at endlessly. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous misty shots!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Since I live in the flatlands over here, it is fun to see the mountains and valleys your way. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful misty shot - happy Christmas and New Years!
ReplyDeleteStunning photos. Those mountains and valleys must be gorgeous,covered in snow.
ReplyDeleteMersad, these are beautiful, powerful photos. I'll never tire looking at your valley pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat second shot is a winner! Perfect reflections!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtaking shots.
ReplyDeleteReally superb and I am sure the area is beautiful in the snow.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you didn't leave this in your archives. Such a wonderful shot should be shared so the rest of us can see how talented you are. It is always rewarding to come to your blog, Mersad. Some time in the future could you explain how you are able to make the slide shows that show one picture at a time and then move to the next when we click the arrrow. I would love to do that with some of my groupings, but don't even know where to start. Thank you ... Hope your holidays were wonderful and wish you well in the New Year ...

Nice views.
ReplyDeleteYour photography is amazing, Mersad. Gorgeous. Happy New Year to you, I hope that 2015 will be wonderful for you.
ReplyDeleteOne gets a real good sense of the steepness of the valleys where you were driving, especially in the second picture!
ReplyDeleteEinfach nur toll, da kann man sich doch auch schwer entscheiden ;-)
ReplyDeleteWünsche dir einen tollen Wochenstart und sende herzliche Grüsse

Beautiful views! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteAlways stop and shoot for the light when it is magical like this! I call it, 'chasing the light'.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy New Year!
Beautiful as the curves of the road and the curves of the river seem forming one, in the second pic... Nice postcards !
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the second shot. It's altogether a wonderful view.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots. Thanks for sharing. Snow covered shots would be beautiul also. MB

I agree with all that's been said and I know of no other adjectives that can describe your photographs. Your area is so beautiful and you do an incredible job of photographing and sharing it with us. I hope you have abundant blessings in the new year.....
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Wonderful images!!! I love the way you can see the river, so far below!!! I don't think I want to drive that road if there is snow...
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning, you live in a beautiful part of the world

Hi Mersad,
ReplyDeleteThe view of the river is so pretty, so perfect in many ways.
I have to go back and look for photos of Mostar on your blog.
I read a bit about Mostar in a book I just completed reading -"Field Notes on a Compassionate Life" by Marc Ian Barasch - for information sharing purposes!
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
Gorgeous shots! Wishing you a wonderful new year!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking views! I'm so glad you shared them.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Stunning views and you've captured them beautifully! Thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY...
