croatia

We had a slight delay to our flight from Prague and then 2 attempts at landing in Split due to an overly enthusiastic thunder storm striking the airport...and then another 1 1/2 hours waiting for our luggage to arrive on the carousel.
Kim's suitcase is a hardshell so virtually impervious to rain and Kyra's back pack is waterproof, but my luggage is neither of those (you may now have a vision of an ageing rock gods oversized and aged canvas bag) and everything I have with me is more than slightly moist after sitting in the rain on the tarmac for an hour. I don't know why.
But we are here. And it's a refreshing 38 degrees celsius.
Cool - now you know you are in Croatia. They move to the beat of their own timeframes there. We had an 1 1/2 hour wait in Zadar and that was just to get into the airport terminal! Watch out for rip off taxi drivers! I'm so envious of that heat wave although it did reach 12 degrees here today.

Love the curve of this guy's back and the light on the rocks. Beautiful.

With that temperature everything must be dry fairly quick. You made a beautiful shot!

Oh dear .. dramas of the traveller.. at least you won't need too many clothes .. enjoy..

Nice light and nice blues

I sympathise. We arrived in Greece with very damp luggage from Heathrow's rain!! Enjoy Croatia, will you go to korcula??

Just a refresher: traveling is fun.

Buggar.

I do enjoy your narratives! Hope the tide was going out ...

I really like this... one of those quiet images that packs a punch... I hope your stuff dries out quickly in that heat! Are you going to Dubrovnik? I highly recommend it!

Out of curiosity, what lens(es) do you travel with?
July 23rd, 2019  
Beautiful tones in this and one of those shots that makes one wonder. Like a page torn from the middle of a novel, I want to know what came before and what will come after?

Such a cool photo! Made me think of "The Rock" from The Who's Quadrophenia...
July 23rd, 2019  
love this shot, sorry 'bout the luggage!
July 23rd, 2019  
@lsquared Thank you very much - that's a hell of a comparison ;)
@gardencat Keep reading..although I'm not much of a writer ;)
@northy We'll see what time allows - I certainly hope so. I travel with both the 14-42 and 40 - 150 (although I rarely use it)
@fbailey My feet did get wet...which was wonderful
@brigette Yep...
@mastermek It is indeed :)
@30pics4jackiesdiamond We'll have to see what time allows, we only have 5 days!
@kjarn Thanks very much :)
@julzmaioro Only clean underwear ;)
@jacqbb In about 2 hours :)

@graemestevens Please tell me that you will be visiting Diocletian's Palace!!!
July 23rd, 2019  
Great image - definitely depicts a mood.
July 23rd, 2019  
A really striking shot of this guy’s backbone...., it matches the cracked rock! Hot here too today 33degC.
July 23rd, 2019  
Very cool shot, in more ways than one. Bummer about all the delays and general stuffups though. Hope nothing vital got wet.

Strong storytelling I,age. What a drag re the travel glitches
July 24th, 2019  
This photo must have a back story!
July 24th, 2019  
@redy4et Probably, but I don't speak Croatian ;)
@jgpittenger Thanks - luckily it's so hot that everything was dry within a couple of hours!
@golftragic Only clothes - as long as my underwear is okay, I'm okay...
@happypat Blimey...I've just about had enough of the heat as we're just not used to it. No let up next week in Munich either apparently.
@jetr Thanks very much :)
@blueberry1222 We did that yesterday :)
July 24th, 2019  
It must be cooler out on the rock surrounded by the sea. :)
July 24th, 2019  
@gardenfolk One would hope so - it's bloody hot on shore
July 24th, 2019  
Simplicity combined with relaxation- great image. May your damp luggage be the worst of your vacation adventures,
July 28th, 2019  
@joysabin So far it's been the worst, but quick to dry so no real issue
July 29th, 2019
