From atop Mount Srđ (this time with a video!)
Here are another bunch of pictures I took when I climbed Mount Srđ (I actually took the cable-car, but there is a big zig-zag path to the top for those so inclined…).
There’s also another shot of the daredevil woman who climbed the fence at the cable-car station and then sat on the rocks to take in the view.
If you’d like to experience the cable-car descent, I made a video:

More pictures from the top of Mount Srđ
Mount Srđ (pronounced serj) stands above Dubrovnik old town and is 1,352 feet tall. A cable-car takes visitors to the top and back, where there stands a cable car station with a restaurant with panoramic views over Dubrovnik and the coast. A Napoleonic fort, Fort Imperial, also resides at the top, which is now a museum to the events of the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s. In addition, there is a tall television transmission mast.
The mountain played a key role in the Siege of Dubrovnik during the conflict between the Croatian forces and the Yugoslav People’s Army, with the Croatian’s literally holding the fort.

Around the old town in Dubrovnik
I thought I’d drop a bunch of pictures I took while wandering around the old town on the first day of hour trip to Dubrovnik. They’re mostly random shots of scenery (and there will be more, similar posts to come), but I was carefully trying to shoot the wedding party in their colourful clothes only for someone to photobomb the picture with their hand!

Boats in Dubrivnik old town harbour
There are a couple of main harbours in Dubrovnik. One is large and to the north of the town, filled with everything from small dinghies and pleasure boats, up to super yachts and cruise ships.
The other is nestled into the side of the old town and, while much smaller, is also much more picturesque. It’s still a working harbour, as can be seen with the small boat full of ropes and fishing nets, but it’s also bang in the heart of the tourist-filled part of the town.

Sub-frame
I’ll be back to posting mostly film photos again soon – maybe tomorrow – as I have a large backlog forming. I’ve one full roll of 135 developed and processed on the PC, but which I’ve published nothing from as yet. Then I have four rolls awaiting development (three 135, and one 120), and four further rolls in cameras with just a few frames left to shoot on each. Add to that some stuff that’s already on Flickr but which hasn’t been seen here and I’m going to be spoilt for choice when it comes to feeding the blog!
In the meantime though, here’s another picture from the little Ricoh GRIII digital compact that I took while walking the city walls that surround Dubrovnik’s Old Town.
I bought this camera because I thought it would be good for street photography (it’s what it’s probably most used for), but it’s great for lots of other stuff too. The lens is amazingly sharp! I sometimes wish it had a flip-out screen and / or a viewfinder, but I guess that’s being greedy.
