I'm not sure how much Croatia is on people's radar wrt traveling there for vacation. It should be way up there if it isn't already. Dubrovnik is a crazy good town for photographers. Here are a couple panos of the old walled city:

    These are quite stunningbowdown.gifbowthumb.gifthumbbowdown.gifbowbowdown.gifthumbthumb.gifclap.gifclap.....I read a lot of travel forums and see people are always hiotting the main european hot spots (france, germany, italy, spain. austria etc etc) but plave like Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenai etc etc...they never seem on anyones radar....there is so much hidden beauty over there it is truly unreal.

    Thanks for sharing....NOW how about some more.......?????

    Love your shots!

    I've been to Dubrovnik...some 18 years ago! Of course it was Yugoslavia then. They had a seige in the city that next year and I remember watching some of the coverage on TV. I was afraid they'd do damage to that gorgeous, ancient town. Good to see it's still as beautiful as ever. :D

    Wow, Mike, these are cool! I had a look at the whole gallery and love the roofs. Dubrovnik is such a great place to visit, and with a bit of luck I should be there in August. clap.gif
    And I'm glad to see panoramas - not many people take the time to actually shoot them. Well done!

    My inlaws are from Croatia, and I've just emailed them a link to your gallery :) I know they'll share my appreciation for the beautiful justice you've done the city. It's hard to choose a favorite, and refreshing, too, to view the city through a different set of eyes.

    Wow! Just stunning! clap.gifclapclap.gif
    Great panos Mike! Makes me want to sell everything and go!

    I really do want to go to Croatia, maybe next year. As a travel location it's become one of the hot places for smart travelers I'm told because of its beautiful locations and still reasonable prices. Last time I checked it hadn't switched to the Euro.

    Real beauties thumb.gif

    I've been through Europe a few times and been to a few walled cities. But I never had Dubrovnik on my radar. It is now!

    Thanks for sharing these wonderful images of an amazing looking place. Nice work!

    just there this week
    The old town, Cavtat, is really beautiful. Great shots. We had coffee at the little cafe you took images of. The scenery there is one of my favorites. Yes, the walled cities of Europe are really worthwhile seeing. Easy to take 100's of images there.
