If you'll ever sail or be on a boat around kornati islands, you really need to visit telašćica national park. You need to pay entrance fee, but the overnight mooring fee on a buoy is included in the price.
After we spent the night moored (very safe place) we took the dinghy and went for a "trip on foot" to the "hill" and on the other side we had this spectacular view towards west, italy. Cliffs are somewhere around 160m high (correct me, if i'm wrong) and the water bellow is 80m deep (according to the sonar). The view is really breathtaking and these are the highest cliffs in mediterranean sea, so you should not miss them, if you're in this area. Locals are calling them "stene" (walls).

Well, i've never done some real macro photography and when i tried to take this shot i've found out that i really don't have the tools for it. As so many times before, i left half of my photo gear at home (yes, i do have a large photo bag and yes, all the gear fits in, but ....), so all that i had was my camera, half full batteries, only the 17-85mm lens and and the ex430ii flash. So my only option was to shoot at 85mm f/5,6, but this small beauty just would not stay still. I've tried to freeze him (or her?) with flash, but didn't want to destroy the nice warm light from the sun, so i ended up with this shot, with minimum motion blur as i could do.
I'm not fully satisfied with this one, but for one of my first attempts at macro and with this lens - it could be worse ..

We were sailing around the hundreds of croatian islands, and we had sunsets like this one every night. We did not moor in marina, because we prefer to spent the night more in nature, in complete silence, nothing but water and some lonely islands around you. Se when you spend the night moored on a buoy or anchoring, you really get connected with the nature. And i think this is what sailing is about. I've made a lot of photos with sunsets like this one, but this "pirates" style sailboat looks interesting, that is why i decided to share this one with you, my friends.

this one was taken from helicopter .. we took a ride above manhattan, harlem, liberty island, ellis island, governors island, downtown jersey city .. i you're in nyc, i really recommend to take one of these tours, they are a little bit expensive, but this is the best way to see and understand the size of nyc .. and you can choose a shorter trip for less money and still see the "important" parts of the city..

so, here's another one from paris, this time with both eiffel tower and statue of liberty, the smaller sister of the one located at new york city harbor (which i will post a little bit later) ..
i've said a lot about paris already .. but keep in mind, the city gets much more interesting if you take your time and go out of the common touristic ways, places .. don't be afraid to discover all the adorable streets, small parks, avenues, bakeries and sure, bars .. you will see the other side of paris, parisians .. and if you don't know a word of french language, well, pretend like you do, like you are one of them ..
