Photographer's Note
Pristina / Prishtina, from the Mother Theresa cathedral belltower, which offers an expansive view of the capital city of Kosovo, a breakaway province of Yugoslavia still classed as part of Serbia. Many countries have now recognised Kosovo as independent, but Serbia is not one of them. Mainly because a lot of Serbia's medieval history is still there.

Chris, the church bell tower offers a stunning panorama of Pristina. The fg is in the shadow by afternoon whereas the background is bathed by the sunlight. Modern towers are mixed with old houses. Fine colors, perfect sharpness, regards.

Hello Chris,
Great view of the city from a fantastic vantage point. I like the many houses against the hills in the distance, which make a great pattern together behind the towers in the foreground. The light was great too and saturated the colours well.

Hello Chris,
Quite a lot of highrise in this new capital.
The panorama looks great since we also get a good view of the neighbourhoods built on the hills.
Beautiful light and colours!
The international attitude around Kosovo was very often mentioned to me when I was in Serbia. Understandable since this now independent country was the cradle of Serbian history.
Best regards, Paul

Bonsoir Chris,
L'affiche avec le portrait d'une femme attire le regard. La prise de vue permet de voir les dιtails des grattes-ciel. La lumiθre met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirιe.

Hello Chris, I see that you have overcome the troubles with uploading. Fantastic view from above. Intersting contrast of the high white buildings here and the small with the red roofs on the hill.
Best regards MAlgo

Hello Chris,
I have never been here, but I have a feeling Pristina has grown very much in recent years, probably even a lot more since this photo was taken. On the hills we see the poorer dwellings so typical of many cities in the Balkans and surroundings. It's an interesting view with good light, and that huge poster is a good focal point.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Chris,
I think much of the Medieval history of Pristina must be up there, on the hills, for this looks like a very modern cityscape, with high-rise buildings everywhere in the centre.
You had an excellent view from this high vantage point.
I think The Grand Hotel must be good at promoting itself. It's signage can be read, even from this distance!
Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Hi Chris,
beautiful capture of this little known destination here.
Since TrekEarth is not being updated anymore, and in particular the maps and regions, I am not surprised that this will not be updated either.
Great point of view from above, nice colors and shapes.
I like the busy background full of houses on the hills.
Very well done,
M

Hi Chris
I love this type of city view, and its even better because its a city we don't see much of, a city that isn't often photographed in this way. wonderful views from here. large buildings in the fg, smaller in the bg with mountains too. awesome
cheers

Hello Chris,
Nice wide and high view of Pristina; we don't see photos of this city very often here on TE. The woman on the ad seems to be welcoming us with her smile. I like how there are taller buildings in the foreground, and the background is dotted with what look like more traditional houses. Take care!
