Spirit Haze

In the last 2 weeks it was very hot in Croatia. I usually use this time to have sun & sea baths, enjoying the beach. But also the beaches are overcrowded with tourist coming from all over the world so I wasn't fond of this idea. Also this summer Adriatic sea is strangely dirty & polluted & too warm for my taste so I carefully choose where & when I go for a bath. Fortunately, nearby the place I live, we have some small rivers & streams which are much colder & cleaner than the sea. I've chosen one of them for a refreshment. Actually, I went there 2 days in a row. 1st day I had forgotten to take my camera but the 2nd I took it & made some nice shots. This is one of them:

During several evening visits to this river, I have noticed the smooth white haze over the surface. It was also interesting how the haze is moving along & together with the river stream. I could feel the waves of spooky coldness on my skin & in my body as the haze was passing me, as if really some strange spirits were living in that mist. The river's name is "Rječina"

In the river's name there is again a play with words. In Croatian, rijeka means river, rječina would mean big river. The river Rječina isn't big at all. In fact, it is one of the smallest rivers in Croatia. Also sometimes in the summertime it goes almost fully dry but never totally, only in some of its parts. Still, we call it The Big River. Maybe in the past it was different. Maybe in the past it was really a big river & that might be the reason for the title.

Anyway, it is ice-cold & it made me feel the pain to the bones. Still, I enjoyed a lot swimming, spending my time there alone at the beginning, naked & playing the guitar & shooting few great photos.
