Kotor, Montenegro

Well I've finally managed to get my camera out again after many months of studying followed by a period of life's bane, work. It has however, taken me to Montenegro for the first time and it turns out it's quite beautiful. The town of Kotor (a UNESCO world heritage site) lies in a bay surrounded on all sides by mountains. The picture above was taken from a fort on the hill above the town. The old city walls run from sea level all the way up to this point.
A view of the old town with the ubiquitous cruise ship in the bay.

Sun setting as we started up the walls.

  1. I can't imagine traveling as you do...what a blessing of life, to be able to see the world; and glad that you do, because you share it with us.

    I often wonder if I'll remember how to use my camera when it's been so long from taking any photographs....but, then, it's like riding a bicycle - not forgotten, almost a part of you :)
