Omiš (pronounced [ɔ̌miːʃ], Latin and Italian: Almissa) is a town and port in the Dalmatia region of Croatia. The town is situated approximately 25 kilometres (16 miles) south-east of Croatia's second largest city, Split. Its location is where the Cetina River (to the right) meets the Adriatic Sea.
Omiš was well known in the past by the Corsairs (i.e. pirates) of Almissa. Omiš Pirates were extraordinary sailors and shipbuilders, famous for their Sagittas (the Arrow), a special type of ship constructed for fast attack and even faster retrieval into the safety of the mouth of the Cetina River. Due to its position and the bravery of its inhabitants, Omiš was practically impregnable to all invaders. Even the Turks, who conquered all of the south-eastern Europe, and were stopped at the gates of Vienna, didn't manage to defeat Omiš.
At the peak of their power, Omiš Pirates were one of the most powerful and fearsome pirates on the whole Mediterranean Sea. Omiš Pirates ruled the Adriatic Sea for more then three centuries until in the year of 1420 the whole of Dalmatia, except Omiš, fell under rule the of Venetian Republic, the most powerful naval force of those times. Surrounded by the enemy and left completely alone, the Pirates of Omiš managed to defend themselves for 24 years. In 1444, Omiš fell into the hands of Venetia and that year marks the end of piracy on Adriatic Sea.
From the end of the 15th century, when the city fell to the authority of Venetian Republic, its name was the Italian Almissa.
Today, Omiš is best known for the traditional festival of the Dalmatian a cappella singing groups. During the Omiš Summer Festival various concerts and recitals are performed at the city's plazas and in churches.
The pano was taken from the Mirabella Fortress above the town, built in 13th century.

A 7 shot panorama of Hull Marina with the newly opened Murdoch's Connection footbridge reflecting in the water, taken just prior to sunrise.
I'd have preferred a little more colour in the sky, by way of clouds to catch the light; but you can't have everything. The bridge is a stunning addition to the area, and will no doubt be a firm favourite amongst photographers. Thankfully the location is only a short distance, so I can soon revisit.
Also, I have plans for other shots at the road edge, but currently there is too much clutter for me; there are still cones everywhere, which are likely to be in place for the next couple of years or so, as they construct a new underpass a little further up the road.
