Hidden ring

I am sorry that I don't know real name of this beautiful flower.


It really looks like a ring.

Stari grad Visoki/Old Town of Visoki

It was cloudy yesterday and it got colder. My husband and I thought it was a great weather for longer walk. So we went to a small town Visoko which is about half an hour away from Sarajevo by car. Visoko is the town of rich historical heritage. It is named after the Visoki Castle and The Old Town of Visoki which was a famous medieval royal castle town during XIV century. The first mention of the town was in 1355 but it is believed that it was built even earlier. It was used by Bosnian bans and kings as a ruler's residence from which several official charters were written to other states.


On these three photos above you can see some details of the Old Town of Visoki that have been excavated.

The fortress and town of Visoki are located at the top of Visočica hill at a height of 766.5 meters. From this place the view of the plains below and red roofs of the houses is just beautiful.

On our way back, just when we came down from the hill, we heard the barking of dogs and then we saw a roe-deer running away down the slope. In another minute the poor animal found itself on the road just in front of us, ran across the road rushing towards the forest. Everything happened so quickly and I was happy that I managed to take this photo. But I was exciting the most for the fact that the roe-deer managed to run away from three hunting dogs that was hunting it.

If you take a good look you can see the dogs on this photo.

Please click on any of the photos to enlarge it.

Reflection

On our way to Jablanica Lake we went through a town called Konjic which extends on both sides of Neretva River. The first two photos were taken in this small but beautiful town. What I like the most on these photos is reflection in the water. The construction of the bridge which you can see on the second photo hasn’t finished yet. The last two photos are again from the lake.




I was standing on a bridge when I saw this snake swimming in the water. I had to use zoom to take its photo which isn’t clear for that reason.
