Montenegro is a country in Eastern Europe bordering Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and the Adriatic Sea. It used to be a part of Yugoslavia. The capital is Podgorica. The name Montenegro is Italian and means Black mountain. Montenegro was an independent princedom between 1878 and 1910 and an independent kingdom until 1918. That year Montenegro became part of Yugoslavia. In 2003 Yugoslavia was transformed into the new country of Serbia and Montenegro, but this fell apart in 2006 when both countries went their separate ways. Montenegro is therefore the youngest country in Europe. Montenegro is not a member of the European Union, but it is a member of NATO. Despite the fact that Montenegro is not yet an EU Member State, people do pay with the euro. Montenegro may be small, but this beautiful nation has a huge array of natural and man-made wonders. Once overlooked in favor of more famous Mediterranean countries, Montenegro is quickly gaining a reputation as a great place to travel. It's easy to see why. The mountainous hinterland is home to deep gorges, flowing rivers, glacial lakes and old-growth forests, popular for adventure activities. The winding coast runs along pretty blonde bays overlooking the royal blue Adriatic Sea, ancient Venetian villages and UNESCO-walled towns. Podgorica is the capital city of Montenegro. Its rivers and bridges include the modern Millennium Bridge over the Morača River, and the stone bridge spanning the Ribnica River. The centuries-old Clock Tower, built by the Turks, dominates the old town.
Cetinje used to be the capital of Montenegro, but in 1946 it became Podgorica. The city was then called by a different name, namely Titograd, named after the Yugoslav president Tito, who died in 1980. In 1992 it was renamed Podgorica. Characteristic are the modern buildings, green parks, but also the large gray streets and buildings. The "new cathedral" Hristovog Vaskrsenja cathedral (as it is known in Podgorica) is great to visit. Built between 1993 and 2013, this must be one of the most spectacular cathedrals built in the last century. The large dome, the large towers with white stones and golden crosses of this immense new Serbian Orthodox cathedral are amazing. The inside with many frescoes is also impressive to see. The large central dome with supporting semi-domes is a sight to behold. The large chandeliers; the wall-to-wall murals and the beautiful marble floor. The cathedral has only been open since 2014. The interiors are enriched with iconography. The artistic decoration inside will blow your minds. Since the cathedral is quite new, the details are bright and clear. The locals are sometimes a bit disdainful of the cathedral - they prefer the really old churches with a lot of history - but the interior is beautiful.
Montenegro is een land in Oost-Europa en grenst aan Bosnië en Herzegovina, Servië, Kosovo, Albanië en de Adriatische Zee. Vroeger was het een deel van Joegoslavië. De hoofdstad is Podgorica. De naam Montenegro is Italiaans en betekent Zwarte berg. Montenegro was tussen 1878 en 1910 een zelfstandig prinsdom en tot 1918 een zelfstandig koninkrijk. Dat jaar werd Montenegro onderdeel van Joegoslavië. In 2003 werd Joegoslavië omgevormd in het nieuwe land Servië en Montenegro, maar dit viel in 2006 uit elkaar toen beide landen een eigen weg gingen. Montenegro is misschien klein, maar deze prachtige natie heeft een enorm scala aan natuurlijke en door de mens gemaakte wonderen. Ooit over het hoofd gezien ten gunste van meer bekende mediterrane landen, krijgt Montenegro snel een reputatie als een geweldige plek om te reizen. Voorheen was Cetinje de hoofdstad van Montenegro, maar in 1946 werd dit Podgorica. De stad heette toen nog anders, namelijk Titograd, vernoemd naar de in 1980 overleden Joegoslavische president Tito. In 1992 kreeg het de naam Podgorica. Kenmerkend zijn de moderne gebouwen, groene parken maar ook de grote grauwe straten en gebouwen. De nieuwe kathedraal Hristovog Vaskrsenja kathedraal (zoals die in Podgorica bekend staat) is geweldig om te bezoeken. Gebouwd tussen 1993 en 2013 moet dit één van de meest spectaculaire kathedralen zijn die in de vorige eeuw zijn gebouwd. De grote koepel, de grote torens met witte stenen en gouden kruizen van deze immense nieuwe Servische Orthodoxe kathedraal zijn waanzinnig. Ook de binnenkant met vele fresco’s zijn indrukwekkend om te zien. De grote centrale koepel met ondersteunende halve koepels is een lust voor het oog. De grote kroonluchters; de muurschilderingen van muur tot muur en de prachtige marmeren vloer. De kathedraal is pas geopend sinds 2014. De interieurs zijn verrijkt met iconografie, de artistieke decoratie binnen zal je verbazen. Omdat de kathedraal vrij nieuw is, zijn de details helder en duidelijk. De lokale bevolking is soms een beetje minachtend voor de kathedraal - ze geven de voorkeur aan de echt oude kerken met veel geschiedenis - maar het interieur is prachtig.

This day was the absolute weirdest shooting adventure I have had to date. I arrived at this park (Drummond Walk) at about 5:20am (It was very, very dark). As I was walking along the waters edge trying to find a composition, I saw a floating suitcase and what appeared to be a bunch of clothes on the rocks, draped into the water… Nope, it was not a bunch of clothes, it was a man. I’d say he was near 50, and South American (if I had to guess). He wasn’t moving, and he was mostly in the water draped over the rocks that lined the shore. I yelled to him asking if he was OK (I was only a couple feet from the rocks, up on the grass which was about 3 feet higher than the water line… No response… SO I shined my light right at him, just catching a bit of his face (as the rest of him was behind the rocks in the water) and yelled a little louder “Are you OK?”
The guy looked up at me, like I was the police, muttered a few words (not English) and took off. He left his floating luggage and was gone into the darkness faster than shot.
I live in Gastown so I am used to seeing people out of it. This was somehow different. Perhaps because it was in such a remote location far away from the leagues of Gastown… But it was very weird.
An hour later, he was long gone and the sun was coming up. This was my very first time at this location so I was pretty excited to see how cool it was once I could actually see it. It was really foggy, which is a first for me as well. Cannot wait to go back.
Enjoy!

This is the third cherrybloom picture.
For some odd reason, I took 54 more.
I will try to behave and keep myself from uploading them all.
The equivalent pictures last year was taken on May 5, so the trees do bloom early this year.
These past couple of weeks I have been through a lot of back and forth. With decisions in my mind. Thinking I was quitting one thing and then throwing myself back into it. Feeling unsure of myself and my thoughts. I feel like I put my mind through the wringer. Taking mental health days and getting upset stomachs due to stress. My body feeling like shit. Not sure what I am supposed to do with my hands!?!?!?
This is what chaos looks like to me in my mind. How I am feeling when all over the place. I can't even explain this photo. Can you?

“There is no despair so absolute as that which comes from the first moments of our first great sorrow when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and healed, to have despaired and recovered hope.” ― George Elliot.
