We took a trip to Krka National Park...it was 36 degrees and, as the saying goes, arse-wateringly hot. Far too hot for this tidy Kiwi. It really is a beautiful spot though, with over 100 square kilometres of parkland that includes a lot of board walk walkways through the shrubbery to admire the native flora and fauna, educational walks and guided tours (one of which we indulged in as we like to learn stuff from time to time) and of course the Krka Waterfalls, the largest waterfalls in Croatia and one of the most favoured swimming spots in these parts.
The clarity of the water is incredible and puts New Zealand's self proclaimed (and slightly incorrect) "clean green, 100% pure" image to shame.
Wow it does look amazing ... nice shot..

Unbelievable! A lovely scene, spoiled by all those inconsiderate people cooling off. You made the most of it though. fave

Too many people! I can take one or two at a time but this is way too much. Looks like some kind of infestation.

@jgpittenger We haven't managed to find a quiet spot yet on this trip and not for lack of looking!
July 28th, 2019  
Wow... a very popular place! It's beautiful! I can't imagine that heat!!

Great gawd! Too many people. They are like lemmings aren't they?

@joysabin Theu are...little half naked ones...
@kwind It was stunning, even with all the people...

there is more than a handful of bathing beauties there. but no doubt that was the best place to be on such a day. This composition brings to mind one of those great art classics filling the whole wall of a gallery - either that, or a where's wally style picture. Either way, could stare at for ages.

There’s a neat quality of color and composition that reminds me of vintage magazine travel ad or postcard. FAV

This would make a great jigsaw puzzle with 10000 pieces to drive someony insane. Maybe an idea for a torture cellar.
