Last images from Balkans

I moved out from the Balkan area and this was the last roll I made there. Some Kodak 400, I forgot the name. And the camera is an Olympus Pen EE-2. This tiny hair in the corner of some of the cadres is slowly creeping in. I'm still

Boat under water

We’ve just recently found another semi wild place to swim in the river around Podgorica, Montenegro. Last time we went to damselfly baths near Vranske Njive. This time we tried to find a wilder spot with more space to chill. We went across this small bridge through the Zeta

Abandoned attraction from an abandoned factory

Since then the area became abandoned. Not exactly abandoned. I stumbled upon a post in the internet, describing

Enduring the tourist season in Montenegro

The heat of the sun and the stuffiness. Walking through the Ulcinj city in search of a place to live for the next month. We tried a couple of local websites like “realitica” and “patuljak” with no luck. But locals do not use the internet as much. And the tourist
