The fields above Mostar have been a constant and welcome joy to photograph. Yes, these shots were taken during warmer days last year, but I didn't get a chance to post them until now. They show the sunset landscapes in the foothills of mountain Velez. All of them are overlooking the city of Mostar, which is closely nested in the valley beneath. I hope you'll enjoy these landscape shots and I hope that warmer and sunnier days will return soon, so that I can go out and take some new photos.

These plains are very wide and open, and even though you can see so much at once, there are indeed many nooks and crannies which you'll have to search for in order to discover them. I like the isolation here, but also the abundance of nature. Yes it's lonely, but you never feel alone.
This road, even though small and seemingly unimportant, can actually take you far away. It pierces the mountains and plains and connects to other side roads which further lead to main roads. A whole lot of Herzegovina's wild nature could be explored by taking this route.
As the sun it setting, the glow of the sun rays are hitting the trees and fields, creating a blanket of warmth and coziness. I wish you all a happy weekend ahead.

So glad you did. I love this place in the mountains.
DeleteIch bin voll begesitert von solchen Wolkenformationen, wie auf deinem Ersten Bild. Ein sehr schönes Bild.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße
Die großen Wolken machen ganz viel aus bei Landschaftsbildern.
DeleteThese are all so beautiful! The vast emptiness is something to look upon with great delight.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful country under a deep blue sky. Now I'm wondering where Mostar is?
ReplyDeleteMostar is a city in the south of Bosnia and Herzegovina, southeast Europe.
DeleteBeautiful scenic views!
ReplyDeleteThe first one is my favorite.
Have a wonderful week-end!

I love the road in that shot.
DeleteBeautiful views
ReplyDeleteSehe ich genauso, man kann sich in der Natur nie einsam fühlen, selbst wenn es sich um Steppe oder Vulkangebiet handelt. Es gibt doch immer was zu entdecken.
ReplyDeleteDanke dir für die tollen Fotos und hab ein wunderschönes Wochenende
Herzliche Grüsse

ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of isolation and skies and panoramic views. wow.
ReplyDeleteMe as well. I could spend hours here.
DeleteYou have a great collection of landscape shots. I can feel the warmth of the sun in these pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Glad you like these.
DeleteBeautiful photos! Places with rolling hills and mountains are hard to beat (in term of beauty).
ReplyDeleteAs long as I'm fantasizing--- I'd love to be touring there on a motorcycle. Nice shots that captured the feeling of the place.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. You would love it here.
DeleteBeautiful countryside! Makes me miss summer even more!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Similar to the prairie lands we have here. Ours are flatter and the wild grass is taller and it is much less rocky. But that big sky--ahhh! :)
ReplyDeleteThe sky really makes it, doesn't it.
DeleteBeautiful scenes. I am ready for warmer weather and more photo opportunities.
ReplyDeleteI can see why this is such a great place to photograph! Really beautiful, and great skies.
ReplyDeleteMersade ti si odličan fotograf!
ReplyDeleteTvoje fotografije inspirišu!
Hvala ti!
These scenes of your country showcase its beauty well. When I think of that area of the world, I envision the cities and the villages of which there are many photos, but rarely the wild and desolate landscape. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I always enjoy your images. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous area!! I love the rolling green landscape and the little village.
ReplyDeleteSuch a serene and beautiful view! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteOh Wow these are all very beautiful Mersad.
