It's been bittersweet since we arrived in Nelson due to the weather but this is one of the highlight of our trip.This is a (short) long exposure shot of Split Apple Rock, which is located just south of the Abel Tasman National Park, between Kaiteretere and Marahau. After a 10 minutes walk down through some bush you come out to a long stretch of deserted golden sand, with the unmistakable Split Apple Rock sitting just off shore.
We arrived just after sunrise (which meant it was dark when had to walk down through the bush!). So many treasures, but best of all: treasured memories, made with your friends whole love and share the same interest!!!!
A duo of chocolate and banana add a unique twist to coffeecake. Pouring a decadent chocolate glaze on tops finishes off this cake with a bang.
Saint Domnius, Split.

Back to square ...
Heavy rain and distance obscure the bolt on the right while another, closer bolt teases without reaching the ground on the left. Individually, neither bolt would be enough, but I think they work together very well, and I'm glad this exposure got both.

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 is the second-largest city of Croatia and the largest city of the region of Dalmatia, with about 300,000 people living in its urban area. It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea and is spread over a central peninsula and its surroundings.
Looks like we split a sole. Time to do a little repair. Super comfy, very little traction though, but that’s half the fun. Heel wore though a while back. Doesn’t bother me. Still works.
From time to time i find a hiden gem that you can dream away and wonder WTF have he been shooting here ;)
