Mountain Beauty - Bjelasnica

Can you imagine a day with a short drive with car, up to mountain, through forest to outlying godforsaken villages. Looking for some special view, something that you are sure that you will find it on that particular day.
Weather is not so bright, road is wet, and you are not sure if the avalanche could block your way back. On that day, you just stop on the middle of the mountain road, turn on all four winkers and look for best angle to make something good.

You are just medium there, between the mountain beauty and wide world audience.

Search for crystals - Kreševo

When I was a kid, I use to look for small rocks which were different than usual ones, shiny and mysterious. I knew a few spots around where I can find it. Today I know it was calcite mineral, very common in Bosnia.
Last year I was on a fair of crystals in Kreševo, a small town near Sarajevo, with great people and interesting findings on surrounding hills. This area is known for different kind of crystals and beautiful minerals from ancient times, even before old Romans.
Next time I came here and went right on the spot, a small quarry with a lot of rocks, very interesting and exiting. Found some rare minerals, enjoyed fresh air and spend nice time in a mystic forest.

Let it snow!

Last winter in Sarajevo was almost disaster. More than one meter of snow and very cold air were there for days. City was blocked, and in moments atmosphere was like in "Day After Tomorrow".
This Picture was taken before, in one wonderful white night in Sarajevo.
Maybe it was Groundhog Day, or not. We didn't want to turn on play station and loose this moment. We just got out, make some fun on empty streets in three o'clock in the morning, shoot some photos and turned back home.
For me, Sarajevo is the most beautiful when we have fresh snow fall here, no traffic, and quiet night. It happens once in ten years and this night was that one occasion. At the end, it depends of you, your mood and just a small touch of happiness.
