Saint Nicholas of Myra (traditionally 15 March 270 – 6 December 343), also known as Nicholas of Bari, was an early Christian bishop of Greek descent from the maritime city of Myra in Asia Minor (modern-day Demre, Turkey) during the time of the Roman Empire. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, children, brewers, pawnbrokers, toymakers, unmarried people, and students in various cities and countries around Europe. His reputation evolved among the pious, as was common for early Christian saints, and his legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the traditional model of Santa Claus ("Saint Nick") through Sinterklaas.
Baška Voda is a village and a municipality in Croatia in the Split-Dalmatia County.
It is located on the Adriatic coastline of Dalmatia, 10 kilometres northwest of Makarska.
The name Baška Voda is mythological in origin and is linked with Biston, the patriarch of the Thracian Biston tribe, son of Ares, the Greek god of war, and the goddess Calliope, protectress of water. The military fort and springs near Baška Voda bear out this theory. Some of the richest archaeological sites that have yielded finds from Roman times are on the heights of Gradina and its surroundings.
These include burial sites with urns, lamps, jewellery, coins with the head of Alexander Severus Aurelianus and headstones bearing the names of 13 of the ancient inhabitants of Baška Voda, the loveliest of which commemorates a boy called Ursinus, who died in a shipwreck between 100 and 150 AD.
In ancient times, the little village of Bast nestled by a freshwater spring which supplied the Biokovo area. During the 18th century, after the expulsion of the Turks, its inhabitant left the slopes of St. Ilija's (Elijah's) Ridge and descended to the shore, where they established Baška Voda, today a well-known tourist resort on the Makarska Riviera.
Baška Voda first appeared on the “Coranelli” geographical map, produced in 1688, as “Basca”. It was a small village which thrived on agriculture and fishing. The Late Baroque church of St. Lovro (Laurence), built in 1750, probably occupies an Antique site, while the parish church of St. Nikola (Nicholas), the patron saint of travellers and sailors, was built in the early 20th century.

Boats in High Water
The Korana this morning moved with that restless strength that comes after distant rains.
And the three boats — so different, so weathered — simply float, patient and unbothered, letting the river pass beneath them.
In monochrome, they become shapes of calm, small witnesses to the rhythm of a river that never end.
Čamci u visokom vodostaju
Jutarnja Korana danas je bila brza, nabujala i nestrpljiva — onaj tip rijeke koja u prolazu šapuće o noćnim kišama negdje gore u brdima.
A tri čamca, svaki svoj, svaki drugačije istrošen i obilježen vremenom, stoje mirno… baš kao da se samo odmaraju od svih bujica koje ih životom nose.
Crno-bijela tišina čuva njihove obrise.
I u tom miru, voda priča priču o upornosti — o svemu što se drži, makar struja vuče malo jače nego jučer.
Tak jsem dnes od rána měl nostalgicky vzpomínkovou
náladu .Nejdřív jsem se hrabal v pravěkých papírech
v černobílém provedení a teď jsem nalezl spoustu ještě
neupravených cvaků ze Šumavy :-) Nedalo mi to a tak
vidíte jeden ze stovek pohledů na Hamerský potok :-)
Mějte krásný den..AHOJ :-)
