Una River and Plitvice Lakes National Parks

November 8, 2018 By travellingoven 2 Comments

One of the decision I made this year is to spend much more time in the nature as that is something because of work and life I didn’t get to do nearly as much as I wanted and needed and I’m glad that lately I’ve had quite a few opportunities for that, hopefully in the future there will be even more. Nature recharges me and fills me up with positive energy, gives me inner peace and specially when I have my camera with me (almost always) so I can capture some of that beauty and do what I love.

Also, when you do a creative work such as photography, it’s good to sometimes change the subject and shoot something that you don’t necessarily do every day. It’s so important for inspiration and for personal growth to go out of your comfort zone and try out different things. You never know where will the road take you if you never even try… I was so happy to join Esenko Photography Workshops and spend few unforgettable days with a small group of people from all around the world who share the same passion for travel, enjoying nature and photography. We spent our days photographing rivers, waterfalls and lakes, forests coloured in the most beautiful Autumn colours, gorgeous details you can find only in nature but some other cool stuff too such as old abandoned Yugoslav military base Zeljava, Tito’s cave in Drvar (Bosnia & Herzegovina), local people making fruit brandy called ‘rakija’ (which we had to try of course!) etc..

In this post I won’t be writing too much but let the photos tell you the story of this wonderful trip and photography tour. I’ll first start with photos from Una River National Park, situated in the northwestern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, I hope my photos can show you at least a bit of this natural beauty on moody Autumn days…

After two days in beautiful Una National Park in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the following two days we spent exploring and photographing Plitvice lakes in Croatia, the oldest and largest national park in the country. My favourite two season to visit Plitvice Lakes are Autumn when the nature turns into the most beautiful shades of red, yellow and amber and in Winter when there is a lot of snow and you feel like the world stands still, all peaceful and quiet…

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

Simple life moment in one of my favourite Summer p Simple life moment in one of my favourite Summer photos for this first day of Summer. 🧡 I'll find my joy in juicy fruit, melting ice cream, cold drinks, bare feet, sea salt on my skin, stillness of early mornings before the heat and gentle breeze in the evenings.. and more of those little ordinary but precious moments of life.

When you have your own business there are times wh When you have your own business there are times when you don’t have weekends, you don’t have days off, no holidays, when you need to keep going even if you’re going through something difficult and just want to stay in bed… And it’s not always easy. There are also times, specially in the first years, when you don’t know if you are going to make it, if you will earn enough to support yourself, if you will be ‘good enough’… But I wouldn’t change all that for anything because doing what you love is incredibly rewarding and I love photography with all my heart and soul. 
It saved me more than once. It keeps saving me, helps me express myself and what I feel, it gave me back my confidence and a purpose when I nearly lost it. It was the best decision of my life (well, the one of getting a divorce and get out of a really bad marriage is there somewhere too 😅) to take that new path in my late 30s and start all over again… It’s never too late. ❤️
