Out In The Country
Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the nighttime
Walking around out in Kakrinje while Shelby was horseback riding (a panoramic view of Kakrinje taken a little over a month ago can be seen here), I took a few shots. It was a beautiful day and one of my favorite Three Dog Night songs came to mind. "Out in the Country"
Here goes my first "political" rant is quite a while. As anyone who has been outside the U.S/Canada, western Europe, Japan and Singapore is sure to know, the pollution and trash in other countries is overwhelming. Travel a bit and it quickly becomes apparent that labeling the U.S. as one of the world's biggest polluters is just politically inspired B.S. I've been to some single cities that I'd swear pollute more in terms of dumping raw sewage into the world's water supply then the entire U.S, Canada, and western Europe combined. Today the gross haze of dirty diesel and sulfur laden coal over Sarajevo was not apparent. and that was much appreciated. Someday I'll take pictures of the river that runs through Sarajevo, to show another side of it../end rant

View From the Golf Course
The evening of Carl's graduation. Two years in a row the weather was almost exactly the same.
In the foreground is Sarajevo's Bare Cemetery (Sarajevsko groblje Bare). Also known as the Gradsko Groblje (City Cemetery), it is larger than many of the nearby neighborhoods. At the top, Hum with its radio tower and in the far distance on the left, Bjelašnica with some remnants of snow.
