Dubrovnik - Stradun, Long Exposure of Tourists

Two Monasteries and Stradun - Dubrovnik, Croatia.

 

I figured that if you can do light trails, boat trails etc, why not do people trails? This might be the best time and place to do this - here in the busy street of Stradun, where it doesn't matter if it's day or night, it's still bound to look like a thick carpet of humans has been laid out on the ground. I also happened to do this during the nice, warm afternoon light which allowed me to further heighten the rich tones of the red- and ochre-colored buildings.

 

The bell towers of two monasteries - Benedictine and Franciscan, are also seen here.

 

...

The Stradun is historic Dubrovnik's main street that is enclosed by the old fortress walls. This limestone-paved pedestrian street measures about 300 meters long connecting the western entrance Pile Gate to the eastern entrance, Ploče Gate. Stradun was the Dubrovnik's (then known as Ragusa) main thoroughfare in the 13th century. Stradun and the surrounding area were devastated during the 1667 earthquake and were also damaged during the war of 1991–92. Most of it has been repaired through the years. Many of Dubrovnik's historic buildings and monuments can be found along the Stradun, making it a popular esplanade for tourists.
