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.

One minute JAXson is sleeping on the footstool, and in a split second, one in which I had my phone in my hands, he yawned, becoming all teeth and one tiny glint in his eye. #cy365 day291 'split second'
Alley in Diocletian's Palace, Split (Italian: Spalato, Latin: Spalatum), Croatia
The palace was built for Diocletian in the early 4th century. The emperor spent the rest of his life here after his abdication. The complex combines the qualities of a luxury residence with a military camp.
The palace was integrated into the urban texture of the medieval Split. It was "discovered" in the 18th century. Robert Adam, the neoclassical architect studied the palace intensively.
The site is included in the World Cultural Heritage list of UNESCO.

An intraregional transport hub and popular tourist destination, the city is linked to the Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula.
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.

Had to try something new this evening and added some extra color... Lining this up was very difficult and I still didn't get it quite right...
I'm still looking for something other than the same dropper I've been using, without having to spend hundreds of dollars for some automated machine... Suggestions welcome...
Thanks again for looking!

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
