The Green Lagoon

Explored! Highest Position: #50

 

Lets stay in the park for another view.

 

If you missed my previous photograph this is Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia. Which is the countries biggest tourist attraction and one of the most stunning natural sights in the world. Which is why it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.

 

Views like this are a dime a dozen throughout the park as water flows down from the Dinaric Alps and into a series of 16 magnificent lakes. The waters flowing over the limestone and chalk have, over thousands of years, deposited travertine barriers, creating natural dams which in turn have created the series of beautiful lakes, caves and dozens upon dozens of waterfalls.

 

For more information on the park please see my previous photograph here.

I hope you enjoy the view and sorry no swimming allowed.

 

For the most refreshing experience please see it LARGE!

 

Comments, critiques and faves are always greatly appreciated, thanks everyone! :D
