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.

Magical Hutovo Blato

I was there one early spring, march or even February. Actually, it was a business trip and I was back from Adriatic coast, late that day, tired and in desperately need for some rest. Plan was to stay overnight in Mostar and Hutovo was on the half way there.
Just before Capljina I saw a sign and looks my car turned right by herself. After ten kilometres  found nice parking place and took a walk trough the national park of Hutovo. Two minutes walk and I discovered a space with so much magic for my tired soul and body. Peace and low intensity light. Magical peace, no sounds, nothing...

 































All tiredness disappeared. I forgot about hard day at work, heavy traffic on the highway, line on the border... This visit was so relaxing and efficient. Kept coming there later and later, years and years, in every season.
