Split is Dalmatia's largest city, around 200,000 inhabitants. It was founded by the Roman emporer Diocletian in 295 AD. It is here that the Dalmatian born ruler built his retirement palace. The remarkably intact palace complex, a UNESCO world heritage site, still forms the core of the city.
See more scene of Split below.
Split Croatia- Pine-clad hills, secluded coves, beaches- Split and the Dalmatian Riviera have been premier destinations on the Adriatic since the days of theRoman Emperors.
In fact, medieval Split was built within and around the palace built for the emperor Diocletian in his retirement.
The charms that entertained Emperors are still evident today. The Dalmatian Riviera offers the traveler a heady blend of natural beauty and fascinating cultural sites.
Diocletian abdicated in 305 A.D . During his reign , the emperor ruthlessly persecuted Christians. Ironically Split’s St. Dominius’ Cathedral occupies his mausoleum.
As far as we know, the original settlers here were Dalmatians tribes, later joined by Greek merchants, who saw the value of the harbor and its proximity to the rich interior. The first Romans stablished a colony nearby at Selona in 78 B.C, taking full advantage of the same features. Selona eventually became the Roman administrative center for Dalmatia, especially after Caesar settled other Italian colonist there. Roman roads and aqueducts were added to exploit the rich mines and farms along the sunny coast.

Sort of reminds me of those pesky ghosts from PacMan. I actually taken a shot very similar to this before, but it was a different bug.
Split Rock Lighthouse near Two Harbors, MN. This lighthouse is perched on a 160 foot sheer cliff, overlooking Lake Superior. It is one of the most visited lighthouses in the world. This photo was taken from Pebble Beach picnic area in Split Rock State Park. It is a late afternoon shot with the afternoon soon bathing the light tower itself in that warm afternoon glow.

Es la principal ciudad de la región de Dalmacia, la capital del condado de Split-Dalmacia y la segunda ciudad más populosa del país tras Zagreb, de la que dista 380 km. Es un importante puerto pesquero y base naval del Adriático, así como un centro cultural y turístico importante; la ciudad antigua es una joya arquitectónica, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1979. En su entorno existen astilleros, fábricas de cemento y de plástico, industrias madereras, vinicultoras e industrias de procesamiento de alimentos.
Con vistas al mar Adriático y respaldada por las montañas que rodean la ciudad de Split en Dalmacia es como un museo viviente. En ella aun siguen en pie las antiguas construcciones romanas que dan un aspecto interesante. Ahora, las tiendas de lujo y cafeterías se encuentran entre estos hermosos edificios.
Split fue fundada cuando Diocleciano construyó su casa de retiro en la zona. Nacido cerca de Salona, este poderoso soldado llegó a gobernar el Imperio Romano durante dos décadas. Cuando el palacio fue construido en su totalidad renunció y se retiró a su natal Dalmacia, donde pasó sus últimos años. Siglos más tarde fue dominada por Venecia (1420-1797).

Split Decision by Sam Shendi
Created by North Yorkshire-based and Egyptian-born sculptor, Sam Shendi, whose works have been displayed around the world, Split Decision is a 4.5 metre, multicoloured, minimalist structure, which will occupy the Liverpool Plinth for 12 months from June 2019
This pice is part of a collection called ‘Only Human’ which as a collective explores the themes of mental health and depression. Sam explains:
“This particular work expresses the difficulty in making a decision when you are in a depressed state. It represents the fear of taking a direction or making a choice. The colours represent emotions; for example, red being or sexuality, green for hope and innocence, pink for childhood and sweetness. The central figure is black and blue, unaware of the bright side of the options or opportunities that lie before us in either direction, represented by the legs stretched out and in the colours presenting those opportunities.”
The Liverpool Plinth is supported by Liverpool Parish Church, Liverpool BID Company and dot-art. Split Decision is the second sculpture to be selected for the project, which launched in 2018, from an open call to artists from across the North of England. A new piece of work will be displayed on the plinth every 12 months.
There is an exhibition inside the church giving more details about the winner and the two short-listed entrants.

I used Lightroom's split toning feature to add blue to the darker tones - here's some tutorials on Split toning with Lightroom.
