luminous clouds over the forest, an evening in spring just out of Uppsala.../Ett intryck som varar...molnen lyser över skogen, en vårkväll strax utanför Uppsala.../Una impresión duradera, nubes luminosas sobre el bosque, un atardecer de primavera en las afueras de Uppsala...(DSC_2397-3)
more lasting than what you profess. Whom you inspire is more significant than whom you impress :-)

“It was the time when they loved each other best, without hurry or excess, when both were most conscious of and grateful for their incredible victories over adversity. Life would still present them with other mortal trails, of course, but that no longer mattered: they were on the other shore. ”
Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

Die Burg Vitturi entstand gegen Ende des 15. Jh. Bauherr war die Familie Vitturi aus Trogir. Heute befinden sich in der Anlage ein Büro der Tourismusvereinigung, ein Museum und die Stadtbibliothek des Ortes.
Die Burg wurde im Stil eines luxuriösen Renaissancepalastes erbaut und 1564 fertiggestellt.
Mit der Burg Vitturi ist eine Legende von Miljenko und Dorila verbunden, die oft als kroatische Romeo und Julia bezeichnet werden.
Die Legende von Miljenko und Dobrila ist eine tragische Geschichte über zwei Liebende aus Kaštel Lukšić, die oft als kroatische Romeo und Julia bezeichnet werden. Die Legende wurde als Grundlage für eine Reihe von Romanen, Opern und Theaterstücken verwendet. Die Geschichte stammt aus der zweiten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts, als in Kaštel Lukšić zwei Adelsfamilien lebten - die Familie Vitturi mit ihrer Tochter Dobrila und die Familie Rušinić mit ihrem Sohn Miljenko. Der Legende nach verliebten sich Miljenko und Dobrila, aber sie mussten ihre Beziehung wegen einer langjährigen Fehde zwischen ihren Familien geheim halten. Als ihre Eltern von ihrer Beziehung erfuhren, beschlossen sie, sie zu trennen.
Nach einer Reiher von Ereignissen tötete Dobrilas Vater, vor Wut verzehrt, Miljenko. Einige Monate später starb Dobrila vor Traurigkeit. Ihr einziger Wunsch war es, neben Miljenko begraben zu werden.
Ihr Grab befindet sich in der Kirche St. Johannes in Kaštel Lukšić und ist berühmt für die Inschrift „Ruhe in Frieden, Liebende“.
Vitturi Castle was built by the aristocratic family Vitturi from Trogir, at the end of the 15th century.[1] Two noblemen from Trogir.
The castle was built in the style of a luxurious renaissance palace and it was completed in 1564. Nowadays, the renovated Vitturi castle has become the cultural centre of Kaštel Lukšić, as a place where numerous exhibitions, concerts and plays are held. In addition to that, the town museum and other cultural institutions are situated in the former residential part of the castle. The Vitturi castle is famous not only for its beauty but also for a legend concerning one of its inhabitants – Dobrila Vitturi.
The legend of Miljenko and Dobrila is a tragic story about two lovers from Kaštel Lukšić, who are often described as the Croatian Romeo and Juliet. The legend was used as a basis for a number of novels, operas and plays. The story dates from the second half of the 17th century, when two noble families lived in Kaštel Lukšić – the Vitturi family with their daughter Dobrila and the Rušinić family with their son Miljenko.
According to the legend, Miljenko and Dobrila fell in love, but they had to keep their relationship secret because of a long-lasting feud between their families. When their parents found out about their relationship, they decided to separate them.
After a series of events, Dobrila's father, consumed with rage, killed Miljenko. A few months later, Dobrila died of sadness. Her only wish was to be buried next to Miljenko.
Their grave can be found in the church of St. John in Kaštel Lukšić, and it is famous for the inscription ‘Rest in peace, lovers’. (Wikipedia)

Now with the party people returning to their festivities I can do my typical long exposure. No fireworks in the sky tonight but what color was there was very calming in relation to the party noises next to me. Besides, if there were fiery skies tonight you couldn't pull people off that rock.
If you have a few minutes check out the short film about this exhibit. Amazing in 3D. Narrated by Sophie Renoir...great granddaughter of Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Well today's "explored shots" on Flickr was dominated by flowers - so I thought I would post one.
Phalaenopsis (moth orchids) grow well in centrally heated rooms and have long-lasting flowers produced all year round.

Love Dahlia's especially this rich purple one I found on a walk. Enjoy Macro's added some texture for fun.
So how are you? I am continuing to stay away from the public & travels ~ Covid-19 virus cases are still growing here in Washington State ~ with mass amounts of protesters we may see a second wave, we are praying for peace..
Stay well and safe Flickr friends.
