The whole country has been hit by a huge heat wave. One that in my 17 years living in Mostar I have never experienced before. The temperatures keep rising up to 42 degree C (107 degree F) in the day (but are probably higher in the direct sunlight). That's what has been making blogging so tough lately. One one side I haven't been going out to shoot on the other I have to conserve energy and keep as cool as I can during the day. I hope summer is treating you better. We had a promise of some cool towards the middle of August. I am looking forward to that If it happens. Later this week I will be hitting the road again for a new travel series. Hopefully the heat of the moment will play along...

WOW! That is hot. Too hot for me anyway. Love the way the bridge and railings are lit up. Thanks for hosting and hope the weather becomes cooler for you when you start your travels.
ReplyDeleteI truly hope so as well. Most of the days are spent at home under air conditioning right now :)
Deletejapp, that seems too hot.
ReplyDeleteSure is :(
DeleteHi Mersad, i hope you heat will not last much longer! And your photos are still so beautiful, hot or cold.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Have a great day.
DeleteWunderbare Bilder von entspannenden Stunden nach einem heißen Tag. Vielen Dank dafür! LG Marion
ReplyDelete...such a beautiful glow!
ReplyDeleteHello, Mersad! Lovely images and scenery. The views of the bridge are awesome. I hope the weather is cooler for you soon. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and new week!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are glowing!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind some of your heat. We did get some last week along with heavy rain.
We usually have such nice hot summers, this is very unusual.
Lieber Mersad,
ReplyDeleteich habe mich sehr gefreut deinen Kommentar in meinem Blog zu sehen,
ich vermisse deine Besuche. ;-) Liebe Grüße
Besuche immer, hab aber immer weniger Zeit Komentare zu hinterlassen. Liebe Grüße.
DeleteWe had heat waves early on this summer. Thankfully, we are in an unusual cool down. Nothing above 80 degrees F in the forecast for this week.
ReplyDeleteIt's been super hot here in Portland too - we hit 106 degrees last Thursday so almost as hot as your town. I'm looking forward to winter already!
ReplyDeleteWow, 107 would certainly limit photo shoot trips! We went from HOT HOT... to weather that almost feels like fall... fast change here, but much more comfortable. Thank you for hosting the party....
ReplyDeleteI heard about the heat wave Europe has been having--so unusual and deadly. Stay cool and hopefully the weather improves soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat is happening to our weather. We've hardly had any summer and there you are in such heat. I've experienced those kind of temperatures when I lived in the Middle East and Australia and it's not pleasant.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos in such conditions...hopefully it will cool down for your next photo shoot. Thanks for hosting once again :D
Yeah the weather is all over the place. Heat hasn't subsided yet.
DeleteSo sorry abt your heat wave! We are having high temps here in Central OR too but not that bad. Hoppe you get some relief soon. Lovely city shots.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to get out and do much when it is so terribly hot! Has been warmer than usual here in western Oregon USA too ... and I am afraid that is going to be our normal from now on. You got some beautiful pictures .... wonderful light! Thank you for hosting! I appreciate the dedication it takes to do this every week.
ReplyDeleteIn the Californian mountains it has been around 100 degr. F for at least6 mo. so I know what you mean in trying to keep cool!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look hot - looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDon't let the images fool you :D
Deleteheat like that can be sapping, I know why you want to stay indoors. But these evening shots are lovely. Stay cool, have a great week, and thank you again for the linkup.
ReplyDeleteAmazing, Thanks for the post and pics.
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Hoffe mal es kommen dann nicht so schwere Unwetter wie in Deutschland und Österreich. Wir haben hier momentan auch wieder einen Calima, aber diesmal einen feuchten der die Insel wie mit einer Glocke überzieht. Echt heftig so schwül und feucht.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüsse
N☼va
Das ist ja dann gar nicht schön. Schwüles Wetter ist so unerträglich. Besonders wenn man unter der "Glocke" steckt.
DeleteBeautiful photos as always. Some people here complain that our summer has been on the chilly side, but I have to say I much prefer that to a heat wave such as you have experienced in the south of Europe. For me, ours has been quite good enough :) (keeping just below or around 20° most of the time!)
ReplyDeleteI do like it hot but, then again, I remember being in Europe and the Middle East when the temperatures were over 40. It's better when it's dry but it still drains the energy out of you. As far as summer goes, It's the wrong time of year down under. We had a mild heat rise today and it made it to 15 (but rainy and damp). I have an idea - I'll post you a box of some cold if you post me a box of some hot :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I love how you captured the twilight. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteWe are in the midst of a heat wave here as well, plus all the smoke from the fires in the British Columbia interior has been hanging around for over a week. Reminds me of Los Angeles smog when I was a kid. - Margy
ReplyDeleteHope it cools down for you - lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, as always, Mersad. It has been hot in south Texas, too. I hope things cool down soon for both of us! Looking forward to your new travel series!
ReplyDeleteWe had some of those high temps a few Summer's ago. I don't remember ever being in the 100's, but it happened. No fun. Glad you got a few photos though, and I'm sending some of our cooler Summer days your way. :)
