Every once in a while you come across a place that is so picturesque (read: all over postcard stalls across the region) that it is hard to do it justice with either words OR pictures. One such a place is Plitvice (say it with me Australians - "plitvitcha") National Park in Croatia. Waterfalls tumbling into lakes feeding waterfalls tumbling into more lakes, all criss-crossed by croc-friendly walkways. The ridiculous footwear that is, not the aggressive reptile - crocadile-friendly walkways would perhaps be a less tourist-friendly proposition. Not to even mention the cost of importing crocadiles for the walways to be friendly to. But I may be straying off-topic here.
At any rate, it is simply one breathtaking vista after another.
So I tried to go a bit different - looking at the details and how to use the colour in interesting ways, as above, and the translucency of the water, as below.
But I guess there has to be some kind of nod to the whole "vista of incredible natural beauty". I went with this one. To be honest I stopped caring after I got to #20 of 150 panoramas.
