Bosnian alp (or following the cows)
In summer 2012 I tried to take some photos of the viaduct of Tarcin on the Sarajevo – Ploče line.
Having arrieved there by car I could not find a way up on the hill to came to the photo-location. I asked somebody who lived there and he told me that there is a little, arduous path up there. I had my full equipment with me so I decided to come back next year with only a backpack and a little tripod. When I went back a few meters a mother with her two sons and three cows passed my way. And I saw how they climbed a path directly near a pier of the viaduct. So I said if cows can go up there I will also make it. Following the cows, taking care not to step in their droppings I came to a really nice area to take some pictures. The mother returned and the boys and cows were with me on this little Bosnian alp. After two hours their mother returned and brought this whole group home. I stood there for a while waiting for some freight train which didn´t come. But I am still satisfied with the results of this afternoon.
The mountain in the dust on the left side is the “Igman”, 1502 meters high. There were hard battles during the Bosnian war.
