Sights to see, places to visit / Znamenitosti za vidjeti, mjesta za posjetiti

 Time for another feature of Sights to see, places to visit. I've started this series because I wanted to share places that are dear to me with my readers. I wasn't sure should I include this post in the series, because I often took you to Buna river with me. However, some of you might be new visitors/readers on my blog. In addition, some of you might need a reminder why you shouldn't miss visiting this place. Well, take for the example photograph two and three, that is a river bird and a river snake. I've captured both despite the fact that my last visit was a short one. Futhermore, I photographed some really rare birds here previously and let me tell you I wasn't even trying that hard. Most of the time when I visit Buna, I'm here for two hours maximum because I use it as 'have a moment and breathe place'. It is situated near Mostar, so it is really easy for me to get here. In fact, the two of us have been known to just drive here while it is raining and dine on a sandwich in car, watching the river flow by.  Little moments like that form precious memories. You can read some of my previous posts here, here , here , here and here.

Vrijeme je za još jednu objavu u mojoj rubrici Znamenitosti za vidjeti, mjesta za posjetiti koju sam započela jer sam željela podijeliti meni draga mjesta sa svojim čitateljima. Nisam bila sigurna trebam li uvrstiti ovu objavu u rubriku jer sam vaš često vodila na Bunu sa mnom, ali možda tu ima i novih čitatelja, a možda i starima dobro dođe podsjetnik zašto ovo mjesto vrijedi posjetiti. Uzmite za primjer drugu i treću fotografiju, to jest riječnu pticu i zmiju. Uspjela sam obje uloviti, a nisam se ni posebno trudila, naprotiv zadnji put sam na Buni bila kratko, kakvi su i inače moji posjeti Buni jer je za mene ovo mjesto za predahnuti, a pošto je tako blizu Mostara, lako je do njega doći. Ovdje sam fotografirala i neke rijetke ptice, a jednom smo se čak nas dvoje dovezli dok je padala kiša i samo gledati rijeku i ručali sendvič. Takvi mali trenutci stvaraju divne uspomene. U engleskom dijelu teksta možete naći poveznice za stare objave o Buni (da ih sada sve ne kopiram pa možete doći do njih klikom gore).










































Now, about the outfit. I've proven that I can wear black as long as I'm allowed some colourful accessories. I'm not sure if this dress could be called vintage. It is from the eighties, but today some call clothes from nineties vintage, so let's say it is. It seems there are a few definitions of that term and perhaps they are all correct in their own way. I got this lovely maxi as a gift from my niece in law and I wore it previously here. I decided to pair it with these gorgeous Peko heels because they have a retro vibe I really like. Both of the necklaces I'm wearing I designed and made myself a decade ago when I first got interested in making necklaces. I was going for an Art deco chic here, because I absolutely love that period  both in art and fashion.



Što se tiče odjevne kombinacije dokazala sam da mogu nositi crno, ali samo ako uz to smijem nositi modne dodatke u boji. Nisam sigurna bi li se ova haljina mogla nazvati vintage jer je iz osamdesetih, ali opet neki zovu i stvari iz devedesetih tako, a izgleda da postoji  više definicija, a moguće je da su sve definicije točne na svoj način. Dobila sam je na poklon od muževe nećakinje, a nosila sam je prije tu. Odlučila sam je iskombinirati s Peko cipelama na petu koje imaju divni starinski štih. Obje ogrlice koje nosim sam sama osmislila i izradila prije deset godina, kada sam se prvi put počela zanimati za pravljenje ogrlica. Pokušavala sam pomalo dočarati Art deco jer jako volim taj period i u modi i u umjetnosti.

  10. That place is so dreamy! I love it! I wish I could be there right now. So picturesque. I like your outfit a lot, too. You Seem to fit in your environment. Vintage gets "younger" every year. I sell on Etsy, so the allowed items to be sold on there for vintage literally changes every year. This year, it is technically vintage if it is prior to 1996.

  11. A very peaceful and lovely place! I can see why you enjoy it. At my work at the back of the parking lot is a swamp I look at to soothe me while I eat my sandwich so I understand. Sweet little birdy picture too! New poem is finally up. Thank you for asking about it. That made me happy.

  19. Kada vidim toliko stvari vrednih zapažanja, ne znam šta da izdvojim. Potpuno mi je fascinantna ta zmija, to se ne viđa svaki dan. Mesto je stvarno dušu dalo za predah, već vidim da bih stalno išla tamo. Priroda je očaravajuća, a priča o kiši i sendviču mi je tako posebna. Baš takve mali stvari prave ralzliku. Ti izgledaš očaravajuće zaista, crna ti jako lepo stoji a osvežila si haljinu prelepim detaljima. I ja volim Art deco :)

    1. ja sam te riječne zmije vidjela još u par navrata ovdje po Herzegovini (jednom na Kravicama, a jednom na Trebižatu), ali opet možda zbog svih godinama gledanja prirodoslovnih emisija, imam bolje oko za njih....jedan je čovjek bio metar od ove zmije, ali nije je vidio.

  37. Oh, Ivana...that first picture of you is just stunning. You have such gorgeous features. And I know what you mean by driving up in the rain, park and eat sandwiches...my husband and I used to do that too. It's just strangely calming to do that and very relaxing too to watch the rain falling down.

  42. Dear Ivana, yes to this beautiful place! I can imagine that you get really good energy from this place even when you are only for a short time there and I like the pictures you share here. You look again very beautiful, the vintage dress from the 80s is such a cool piece and I like it that you wear it with the colourful necklaces you designed by your own. And yes, I think also that the retro vibes of the shoes are matching perfect with the outfit.
