	Ancient village of Žminj The village of Žminj in Istria dates back to the Bronze Age. This interesting plate on the side of one house features the Communist star and the date 1947 - just after WWII.		La Danse Macarbe, fresco This is part of the frescoes that have been painted all over the walls of the tiny chapel of St. Mary Of The Stone Tablet, in the forest, Škriljinah near the village of Beram in Istria from 1474.
	Rovinj streets Rovinj in Istria is jammed with tiny alley ways. You can spend hours browsing through local artists studios and shops.		The River Cetina meets the sea The very beautiful, steep valley of the River Cetina flows out at Omis. The river is famous for rapids rafting and boat trips.
	Knin fortress Ancient, famous fortress overlooking the River Krka. Knin was once the Croatian capital in medieval times.		Neretva Delta Where the River Neretva meets the sea, near Opuzen. Stunningly beautiful.
	Neretvanska trupa Typical boat used on the River Neretva.		Peručko Lake In the trees an abandoned Orthodox chapel and cementary.
	Tučepi sunset A summer sunset on Tučepi near to Makarska.		Sunset over the island of Cres Taken after rising from the ferry port at Porozina. Below was in near darkness, misty and wet. This was like being in an aeroplane. The sun is setting on the mainland, looking towards Istria.
	Pula's Roman amphitheatre A full Roman size arena - the best preserved, most complete in the world. Today holds many cultural events and concerts.		Village of Lubenice This is a ruined arch in the village of Lubenice, on the island of Cres. The village sits on top of a high cliff looking over to the Istrian mainland.
	Island of Rab The beautiful island of Rab has many churches and the town of Rab has four towers, most of which you can climb.		Orlec cliffs on the island of Cres At the foot there is a tiny beach. From these cliffs near the village of Orlec you may spy on the Griffon Vultures.
	Rocky desert of Pag The island of Pag is amazing. This part is just rocky Karst desert. The Velebit mountains are very imposing in the background on the mainland.		The Pag Triangle On the island of Pag you will find this unexplainable phenomenon (or creation?) It was found only a few years ago by a pilot flying above the island. The solid, ragged rocky surface has been 'impressed' from above by a tremedous force, in the shape of a triangle. No one, no experts canexplain how this could of happened. The flattened rock structure inside the triangle has been compressed down to a couple of milimetres in coloured layers. How, who, why?
	Rock sample from Pag Triangle This is a sample of rock taken from the centre of the Triangle 2.5cm high. You can see four layers of rock strata; white (surface limestone), grey, yellow and lastly brown (bottom). How can four layers of rock become so highly compressed? The same rock layers outside of the Triangle vary from a few feet deep.		Little Princess I snapped this littl'un inside the remarkable Nehaj Tower which stands above the town of Senj.
	Nehaj tower, Senj This is the outside view of the impressive tower. It overlooks the coastal town. If you're lucky you may see some dolphins from here!		Patron Saint of the Island of Rab - St. Christopher This is the actual head of St. Christopher. Kept in a gilded silver box. A priceless religious relic. A private viewing by the town of Rab's priest. Kept in the city's reliquary.
	St. Christopher - patron Saint of Rab A highly decorated medieval triptych of St. Christopher. Kept in Rab's city museum.		Church of The Holy Cross The smallest cathedral in the world. Found in the tiny walled city of Nin, in Northern Dalmatia. The oldest Croatian city.
	Croatian national decorative emblem This ancient plait decoration is one of the national images of Croatia. Here it is carved above the door to the Church of the Holy Cross in Nin.		Grgur of Nin, in Nin This is the statue of 10th century bishop Gregory of Nin - Grgur Ninski. He opposed the then Pope and introduced the Croatian language (opposed to Latin) into religious services. If you rub the statue's big bronze cast toe it is supposed to bring good luck!
	St. Nicola - Nin On the outskirts there is this tiny church. Here the ancient kings of Croatia were crowned. Nin is the oldest city in Croatia.		Walled town of Zadar This is the impressive main gate to the walled city of Zadar on the northern coast of Dalmatia.
	Village of Beli, Cres This secluded ancient village sits above the sea. Beli was the main village in the northern part of Cres. The surrounding forests named Tramuntana, hide many hidden secrets, wonderful nature and abandoned villages.		St. Donat, Zadar The unusual 9th century AD church of St Donat is one of the many attractions in Zadar.
	Varaždin medieval town In the centre of modern day Varazdin is this well preserved castle. This was the original town established in the Middle Ages. Today it is a museum detailing the many uses and periods in its history.		St. Mary's Cathedral, Varaždin A beautifully painted sun dial adourns the cathedral of St Mary Heaven Ascended in the northern city of Varaždin.
	Mt. Učka Shadowing the whole of the Kvarner Bay region is Mt. Učka. This view is from the peak looking down towards Istria.		Pazin Cave This is a mysterious cave in the town of Pazin in Istria. Jules Verne the famous French science fiction writer wrote 'Mathias Sandorf' with a reference to Pazin - maybe he was also inspired to write 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' after seeing this natural monument. Dante also knew of this place when he wrote his 'Inferno'.
	Church altar, Krasno High in the Velebit Mountians is the small valley community of Krasno (in Croatian meaning 'beautiful'). This is the shrine to 'Our Lady of the Snow' in the church over looking the valley.		Pet bunara in Zadar These five wells ('pet bunara') are found inside the walls of Zadar.

Looking to the south you can see the first of the Kornati islands.		View from Osoršćica Spectacular view from the top of Osoršćica hill (538m) above Osor where the islands of Cres and Lošinj join. In the distance you can see the town of Mali Lošinj.
	Sv. Mikula, Osoršćica On the top of the hill is the tiny chapel of Sv. Mikula (St. Nikola)		Inside Sv. Mikula, Osoršćica Inside the tiny chapel is this rather unusual painting of Mother Mary breast feeding the baby Jesus.
