Montenegro Adventure, Day Two (Part II)

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

[Текст на српском] Wednesday, Aug 8, 2018 — We are beginning our voyage to the past, between the walls of the Kotor Old Town. Here, every stone has a history…

The streets are narrow, just enough for two persons in passing, so your @lighteye had to hide behind the camera ;)

Every turn in those streets brings new surprise… for example, an old Bazaar.

Here, you can buy anything, and a few things more 😊 You can actually taste a life of a citizen of the Middle Ages… (Did you see those Middle Age lightbulbs? 😄)

But let’s go deeper into the Old Town to see more of its old palaces and architecture…

In a stone city, there is only one old tree, kept as a monument…

And the Old Town has its Fortress, which was used as the last defense in case of attack. It's not easy to climb to that height, let alone attack.

…wanted to lead us up to the Fortress, since there is a terrific view from there…

…and we secured supplies of beer and ice cream, started our ascent through the gates to the Fortress…

…but some pirates has already put a stakeout at the stairs, extorting 8 euros to everyone who would like to test their physical fitness…

Looks like a mugger in the doorway, ready to pounce upon you @lighteye..?

I can imagine what story you could construct around this picture, @angryman ;))

You have many interesting shots to form stories with...Perhaps I should switch from my 'true' stories to fiction for awhile?

You have imagination, @angryman, or you wouldn’t see “the pouncer”. And when you have imagination, you can do just about anything you want :)

BTW, it’s the FUJI effect — when you carry such a great camera, you can feel possibility of someone attack you with their Nikon or Canon, and steal Fuji away ;)

Uh-Oh...Don't want to lose that Fuji...
I just used one of your photos in a story: Thank you for permission with credit.
