Split, Dalmatia, Croatia
A view from Matejuška, a small fishermen harbour and the last bastion of traditional and very temperamental Mediterranean mentality. I've seen once a nice grafitti on the wall which can explain very well what I've just say about that mentality. ;)

OK a little detail on this photo and the last uploaded photo.
As you have read I am in Viangchang Laos standing on a corner.
Street name: Boulevard Khouvieng
and Rue Mahosot, or some where close to mentioned streets ?
In the background of this photo you see what is a lot used by very poor vendors.
It is full of garbage and debris from a torn down building.
The lady in purple seems to be the boss of this lot and this man
was trying to impress her.
Apparently he used the wrong words and ended up walking away with a split lip. I wasn't fast enough to catch the upper cut from her left fist because like him I wasn't expecting it..;-0
So anyway life goes on and I have a gut feeling these two do this quite often.
Who knows maybe they are husband and wife ? ...;-)~

Hope you have enjoyed the show and I'll keep them coming
for awhile. .... Hand Held D300 Nikon, 70-300VR Nikkor.

The just downstream of Split Rock Falls in New York's Adirondacks. One of my favorite waterfalls in the ADKs, it's super easy to get to (just off Rt 9 south of New Russia) and has many different compositional opportunities. Be aware that if you arrive in the afternoon you'll be shooting into the sun.

Split's early history, revolves around a Greek settlement founded between the 3rd and 4th century BC. Its most famous historical development, however, came in 295 AD when Roman emperor Diocletian ordered a residence to be built for his retirement, as it was close to the large Roman settlement, Salona.
It took ten years to build this magnificent palace and Diocletian lived there until he died in 313 AD. After his death, many Roman rulers continued to use it as a retreat although by the later part of the 6th century it had fallen into disrepair.
Today, the palace is bustling with shops, restaurants, and three thousand local inhabitants who live and work inside this wondrous city-scape. Split, Croatia

Le palais de Dioclétien est l'attraction la plus célèbre de Split et un site classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Même si l'histoire n'est pas votre tasse de thé (ce n'est sûrement pas mon cas), vous serez époustouflé par cet endroit !
Cet impressionnant vestige de l'architecture romaine remonte au IVe siècle. Si certaines parties des anciens murs subsistent encore aujourd'hui, le palais n'a pas de frontières claires et ses vestiges occupent une grande partie de la vieille ville de Split, avec des bâtiments plus récents, des bars et des boutiques disséminés entre eux et autour d'eux.
Le palais de Dioclétien n'est donc pas un palais au sens habituel du terme, mais plutôt une ville fortifiée qui a été habitée et transformée en ce qui est aujourd'hui le centre-ville de Split. Il n'y a pas d'entrée, ce qui signifie qu'il n'y a pas de droits d'entrée ni d'heures d'ouverture. Le palais fait partie de la ville et la ville fait partie du palais.
À la base, le palais de Dioclétien était un complexe résidentiel et militaire. Vous pourrez y découvrir les vestiges de plus de 200 bâtiments romains encore debout aujourd'hui. Le péristyle (cour centrale), le vestibule (antichambre circulaire) et les caves (Podrumi) comptent parmi les curiosités les plus époustouflantes du palais de Dioclétien. Nous allons nous pencher un peu plus sur chacun d'entre eux !
/The Diocletian’s Palace is the most famous attraction in Split and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even if history isn’t really your cup of tea (it surely isn’t mine), you’ll be blown away by this place!
This impressive Roman architectural remain dates back to the 4th century. While parts of the old walls still stand today, the palace has no clear borders and its remains take up much of Split’s old city, with newer buildings, bars and shops scattered in between and around it.
So the Diocletian’s Palace isn’t a palace in the usual sense of the word, but more like a fortified town that’s been lived into and morphed into what is the city center of Split today. There is no entrance, meaning there aren’t any entrance fees nor are there any opening hours. The palace is part of the city and the city is part of the palace.
At it’s core, the Diocletian’s Palace used to be a residential and military complex. Here you’ll be able to explore the remains of over 200 Roman buildings that are still standing today. Among the more breathtaking sights in the Diocletian Palace are the Peristyle (central courtyard), the Vestibule (a circular anteroom) and the Podrumi (the cellars). Let’s dig a little bit deeper into each of these!

Split [split] (italienisch Spalato, entstanden aus griechisch ἀσπάλαθος, aspálathos) ist die zweitgrößte Stadt Kroatiens. Sie ist die größte Stadt Südkroatiens und gilt daher im Volksmund als „Hauptstadt Dalmatiens“, ohne dass ihr dieser Status je offiziell zugesprochen wurde. Die Stadt ist Verwaltungssitz der Gespanschaft Split-Dalmatien (kroatisch Splitsko-dalmatinska županija), die den zentralen Teil Dalmatiens umfasst. Split zählte 2011 etwa 167.000 Einwohner.[1] Dies entsprach 3,885 Prozent der gesamten Bevölkerung Kroatiens.[2]
Split ist eine bedeutende Hafenstadt und Sitz der katholischen Erzdiözese Split-Makarska. In Split befindet sich zudem die Universität Split. Die Ursprünge der Stadt sind auf den Diokletianspalast zurückzuführen. Die Innenstadt von Split mitsamt dem Diokletianspalast wurde 1979 von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt.
