View from top of Marinkovac island uploaded on 3 December 2007

Photo was captured on a beautiful sunny summer afternoon in June of 2006 from the top of Marinkovac island. View spreads north over uvala Zdrilca (Zdrilca bay) to the island of Hvar. Massive deforestation caused by a fire several years earlier is visible adjacent to the outskirts of town of Hvar.

Zdrilca bay is used by many sailors as it is one of the most peaceful natural ports nearby. Top of the island is accessible from the Cafe Bar Mlini, just a 5 minute hike up the hill through a olive tree grove.

View of Hvar port uploaded on 3 December 2007

Hvar port shot from a tourist boat that ferries passengers to the local beaches.

Perched on the hilltops above the town you can see the old fort built during the Venetian rule of the island.

On any given summer day you can see some magnificent yachts moored in port.

Lounging on a hot summer afternoon uploaded on 1 December 2007

This stray, one-eyed black cat was hanging out on the seats in front of the Rector's Palace (Knezev Dvor).

I was amazed by the details in architecture that were so well incorporated into the design. Even these seats that were part of the outside wall of the palace were meant to encourage socializing and gathering of people.
