When I think of Slovenia. I think of the color green. This gem of a country is one of the prettiest I have visited. In the Julian Alps high above Lake Bled, farmers gather their hay and store them in these traditional covered sheds so that it can dry.

“Laundry Day”
16” x 24”

People have been living in these old cities for hundreds of years and some parts of daily life remained unchanged. It is common to see laundry strung out to dry between these very old buildings. Walking the cobblestone streets is magical, especially in the evening.

The town of Kotor in Montenegro is on a fjord on the Adriatic. As in many of these towns, interesting views are found on the narrow side streets that make up the town. Walking back to the harbour, I noticed this cat just behind the water pump.
