Kemmerer___Dubrovnik Musician

This man was sitting just inside the main city gate apparently as a greeter to people entering, but his sour look never changed.

Richards___More Plitvica Falls

The Falls at Plitvica are strange in that they seem to come from everywhere instead of a few main falls.

Richards___A young girl admiring her image

Kemmerer___A Lake in Plitvica National Park in Croatia

The national park is world famous for its lakes arranged in cascades. These lakes are a result of the confluence of several small surface rivers and subterranean rivers. The lakes are all interconnected and are replete with cascading water falls. Over a million tourists visit a year and walk on a board walk around the lakes.

Richards___Small boats in the early morning sun

We camped near Peroj Croatia on the way northward before arriving at Rovinj. These boats were lined up just off our campground with the background obscured by an early morning fog.

Richards___Spanish Girls On a Holiday

These pretty girls were on vacation from Spain walking the city wall, and they asked me to take their picture with their camera. We had difficulty communicating, but part of the bargain was that I got to take their picture with mine, too. The one in the middle looks like Natalie Wood, don't you think?
