Dubrovnik Summers

October 7, 2016 By travellingoven 6 Comments

After having this blog and my little corner of internet for about 18 months now and after I shared some of my travel stories from different countries and places, finally it’s time to share a travel photo story from my hometown Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is a beautiful and very special town on Adriatic Sea in Croatia and has such a long and rich history that it would take me forever to even start. So I’ll keep the facts for you to explore if you want to and I’ll just say that wherever I am and wherever this crazy life takes me around the world, Dubrovnik is where the heart is, where the home is…


Why it took me so long to post this you may ask? Well, I don’t really have a better answer than that in these 18 months I never found the time when I visited home to take my camera and go wander through the streets of my town with a goal to capture a little part of its beauty. So finally this summer I did just that and I went on those walks few times, I wanted to show you at least a part of what Dubrovnik is all about and the biggest challenge was to avoid all the tourists because I wanted photos with more or less no people in them! I managed to do that somehow even if it was a challenge since Dubrovnik is so busy in July and August! I always advise everybody who wants to visit to come in Autumn or Spring or even Winter because all those seasons are so gorgeous in Dubrovnik, the air is clear, the blue of the sea is amazing, there is plenty of sunshine, there is space to walk, explore, photograph, enjoy…

So this is my first post about Dubrovnik but definitely not the last as there is so much beauty to show and every season has its special colours and light but for the moment let’s start with Dubrovnik Summers…

    Fotke su prekrasne, doživljaj Grada bez turističke vreve. Baš onako kako treba biti.

Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days cr Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days creating, doing what I love and sharing the same energy and passion with its author @andreapisac has been one of the highlights of this otherwise very difficult year for me. Very grateful that life sometimes when you are at low point sends you people who lift you up and inspire you. 
Beautiful and meaningful connections are such a wonderful thing…❤️ #cookbook #croatiandesserts

Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls of sweetness are a true Dalmatian delight, especially around All Saints’ Day. 🍬
In Split, they’re called bobići, while in Šibenik, you’ll hear favete — but whatever the name, they’re closest to the Italian fave dei morti cookies. Made from almonds, egg whites, sugar, a dash of Maraschino, and a hint of lemon zest, they’re baked to soft, golden perfection. Perfect with a cup of coffee or even a little rakija to balance the sweetness! 
This recipe will be in the upcoming cookbook written by @andreapisac and shot by me, Croatian Desserts Vol. 2, currently in the making! ✨ Stay tuned!

The reason I’m a little quiet here lately is bec The reason I’m a little quiet here lately is because I’m busy working with the talented cookbook author @andreapisac photographing her new cookbook Croatian desserts vol 2 that features 50 authentic Croatian desserts! 😊✨✨✨
The unique thing about this cookbook is that each step of the process is captured in photos so there is lots of flour, powdered sugar and messy bowls on the set! Stay tuned for more! 😄

Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, m Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, my hometown, at least one morning I get up really early, before the sunrise so I can take photos while most people are still asleep. However, I don’t do it only for the photos. Also, because I love to experience those moments when the streets are still empty and quiet, it feels very peaceful and good for my soul.✨✨✨
Photos and story are on the blog now, link in my profile…
This September besides work I want to focus on fin This September besides work I want to focus on finding joy and pleasure in little ‘ordinary’ everyday things… beauty in simplicity… food that I love, coffee with friends, genuine smiles, cooler nights, fresh breeze, gentle warmth instead of heat…✨✨✨
