Photographer's Note
Istria is the largest peninsula in the Adriatic Sea. Istria lies in three countries. The largest portion belongs to Croatia, a small slice in the north lies in Slovenia, while a tiny region belongs to Italy.
Savudrija is a coastal settlement in northwestern Istria, Croatia. It has developed from a fishing village into a pleasant holiday centre.
The main sight of the settlement is a 29 m high lighthouse which stands on the westernmost point of the Istrian Peninsula and which is also the westernmost point of whole Croatia.

This is beautiful, because of the play of light, shadow and colour it almost looks like a painting. The composition is also very effective with the large, tall lighthouse dominating the right side and the two people, so much smaller, off to the left.

Hello Laszlo,
simply wonderful colours! beautiful warm colours of the lighthouse, trees and the ground. Excellent (golden) light to emphasize the beauty of the lighthouse. Interesting composition! IMHO, the lighthouse is balanced by the dark clouds in the left part of the photo.
The people is a big "plus" for the picture!
Regards,
Elena

Hi Laszlo!
A very nice lighthouse! The golden light is perfect and it was a good idea to include those people. Beautiful sky also. I like it!

Hey Laszlo
It's a beautiful photo, very well composed. I like that you caught people walking upon those cliffs. Good brightness and colors. But it looks more like a fall than a summer day...Probably because of the light (evening sun?) that makes that dry grass look somehow reddish.
Good night

This is almost like Hitchcockian glamour, like scenes of California from "Vertigo" or "The Birds". Very beautiful. Same lighthouse, I know. I must be partial to it. :)
