Summer is in full swing all around the northern hemisphere, and while summer brings with it common sights and feelings, it's just not the same summer everywhere. That's why I decided to showcase some typical summer scenes from Southeast Europe, specifically the Balkan region. I have put together a set of images that will take us from Slovenia in the northwest, all the way to Greece in the far southeast, displayed in no particular order.

They are all marvellous images. The 'sunglasses' reflection is super.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful places and photo's! The last one have a lovely light.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photographs, I especially like No.4. It's unique. I wish we had a decent summer, it has been very disappointing.
ReplyDeleteThanks. My cousin Azra came up with the idea and I loved it as well.
DeleteThese are gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/07/variations.html
Thanks Sue!
DeleteI'd enjoy an hour or so taking pictures of those ships.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'd have a great time! :D
DeleteBeautiful series, Mersad. So intriguing and so inviting that I became totally absorbed in them!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Laura.
DeleteWonderful pictures , my favourite is nr. 4 although all the others show me a part of the world i've never been to but do want to go sometime.
ReplyDeleteYou've linked up this post to ABC-Wednesday... is that right? I couldn't find a link to us, and i can't seem to find the C ... wich is the theme of this week...
Anyway:
Thank you for this entry and participating in the challenge!
Have a nice day, ♫ Mel☺dy ♫ (ABC-W-Team)
C is for Cruise and Coast which is more then enough represented in the images. The link back is under "Where I'm Linking To". Thanks for your comment and visit!
DeleteThank you for sharing ! These pictures make me feel like visiting these countries !!
ReplyDeleteHI Mersad OUTSTANDING photography. Love the creative way you used the glasses.
ReplyDeleteHello Mersad, what an awesome series of photos and places to visit. I have a hard time picking a favorite, they are all beautiful. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful summer images. The shot through the sunglasses intrigued me. It's something I've thought of doing but have never tried.
ReplyDeleteAll these wonderful sights makes me want to hop on a plane right now!
ReplyDeleteSuperb, glorious captures, Mersad, as always, and as always, a wonderful way to begin my day!! And, yes, I'm ready to get on a plane right now, too!, however your pics are the next best thing to being there!! Thanks as always for sharing the beauty!!! Hope your week is going well!!
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoyed this grand tour through your lens. Places I would never see otherwise. I especially liked No. 4.
ReplyDeleteSchöne Bilder.
ReplyDeleteDas Bild mit der Sonnenbrille habe ich auch schon gemacht, aber näher an die Linse, daß man die Brille nicht sieht, also eigentlich nur als zweite Linse genutzt.
Du warst schon bei Navagio? Ich bin großer Griechenlandfan und war schon an sehr vielen Orten in Griechenland, aber Zakynthos ist zu voll mit einer Art von Touristen und irgendwie fehlt mir von dort der Feeling, was mir sonst so Griechenland gibt, deshalb bin ich noch nicht dort gewesen.
Liebe Grüße
Meine Schwester war unter anderem auf dem Navagio Strand. Ich teile deine Ansichten was Zakynthos als Reiseziel angeht.
DeleteSome truly wonderful shots here--- Absolutely!
ReplyDeleteI've never been on a cruise. someday...
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
Gorgeous photos. I really liked the sunglass one,very unique.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful travel guide!
ReplyDeleteThese are indeed lovely shots. Every time you post travel photos, I'm like a little kid in a cafeteria: I want one of everything. I particularly liked the photos of Perast and Bled!

ReplyDeleteI have been to four of these places. My favorite photo is of Perast, a place I have not visited. I loved the near scene of houses and a tower along the coastline, with the dramatic mountains so close behind.
ReplyDeleteMy summer has been taken up with trying to clean out my house in West Hartford after 35 years. Time to get it ready to sell.
That's a really big step. Hopefully you will document it and show some of it on your blog.
DeleteThese are, as always, stunning photos! You do such a good job of capturing not only the look of a place but the feel as well.
ReplyDeleteSummer here has been preoccupied with moving into our new home and finding a job here at home...with a little photo-taking thrown in for good measure. It is winding down, though - teachers report for work beginning tomorrow and students return to classes in a week. It is too soon, and I've not gotten enough done this summer.
Stopping by from Imagine-in-ing!
Yeah, summer can fly by quickly when it comes to vacations. It takes a while in order to get going on chores, and by the time regular work returns, there is always a lot left to do. Good luck with the new home and school year.
DeleteAgain, you photos are breathtaking!!! I do enjoy my visits here!
ReplyDeleteI love to cruise, planning another,.
ReplyDeleteAnn
Every scene is absolutely gorgeous...I think I'd like to be on the boat on the Adriatic sea right now :)
ReplyDeletebrilliantly lovely photographs!
ReplyDeleteThese are just so gorgeous! I long to step inside these photographs.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous place and fantastic photos!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend to you,

ReplyDeleteSummer is definitely gorgeous in Europe. Enjoy the remaining days.
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful images. How I would love to travel!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why it has taken me so long to discover your blog, but I am certainly glad I did. Beautiful, make that, stunning images of summer!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteI am always so taken with your photos. I would love to sit on that platform by the river. Love the clever sunglasses shot, but all the scenery is beautiful.... Michelle
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful!!! I'd love to just come spend the summer in your world!!!
ReplyDeleteI love summer out your way!
ReplyDeleteAnd I especially loved the picture taken through the sunglasses!
Very klever!

ReplyDeleteA beautiful series of photos!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick a favorite - Along the River Stream - I would love to sit there beside the water.
Beautiful scenes. I am hoping that I will be able to travel in Croatia and Slovenia someday. These photos are too tempting.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Awesome! Looks like summer in the Balkans is the way to go (at least, I wish that was a reality for me).
ReplyDeleteMersad. You need to make a book of your amazing photographs...
