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…

There are things I’m so grateful for in summer, There are things I’m so grateful for in summer, like refreshing mornings swims, ice creams and cold watermelon, days spent reading books, time with my family and so on.. But after a while my heart starts longing for cool winds and rainy days, morning mists, storms, dark clouds and finding beauty in the shadows… That’s where I find my inspiration and when I feel the most like myself. 🌿

It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at th It’s incredibly hot day in Dubrovnik, 36 C at the moment and that’s quite unusually hot even in August. So I just want to eat light food (fresh figs! cold watermelon! juicy tomatoes!), drink lots of water and hide from the heat imagining all my favourite things I will enjoy this autumn. Tomorrow we should be back to ‘normal’ summer weather… Stay tuned! 😅

I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who li I love photographing doors. Also, imagining who lives behind those doors and what are their stories.. In life, love and between. It has to do less with curiosity and more with entering the world of imagination. Possibly escaping the realities of life too. Anyway, to keep it more light and simple on this summer afternoon, here’s a photo of pretty doors! 😄

These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mo These days I don’t have much appetite. It’s mostly the heat that doesn’t agree with my body, me and summer heat are certainly not on good terms. Also, there’s a lot on my mind. And heart. 
I would love to feel the lightness of summer, you know the one where you feel that the summer breeze coming from the sea in the evenings melts all your life challenges and blues away and you feel ligtness in your heart and body. A sparkle. Excitement. Flow. But sometimes that doesn’t come easy. So I need to make an effort and try a bit harder. And that’s ok. Some summers are lighter than others just as some winters are darker. All that is our beautiful life…❤️

In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to In both food and nature photography I’m drawn to simple scenes, even minimalistic, capturing beauty of something ‘ordinary’ that could easily be overlooked… 
I admire work of many photographers who create beauty with busy, more complex scenes but when I decided to follow my heart and what feels right to me, that’s when I started enjoying photography the most. ❤️

My editing style has changed a lot in the last few My editing style has changed a lot in the last few years so sometimes I like to re-edit older photos and compare with the original edit. Most of the times I’m like ‘what was I thinking?!’…😅 But I actually like to see the difference and I’m enjoying the process of changing, evolving, seeing things differently.. So here’s a new edit of this lovely scene and cake made by @evakosmasflores, hope you like it. It makes me feel like late summer afternoon…🧡
