I don't usually blog about subjects other than writing, but I thought I'd share some of my recent holiday photography. Is that something you'd be interested in? What did you say? Speak up at the back there! Oh... there's no one at the back there...
Aaaaanyway, I've just returned from a splendid break in Dubrovnik, Croatia. I usually take my camera with me everywhere I go but sometimes I find it's just not practical to carry about a bulky SLR camera with interchangeable lenses. Hence, just before the holiday, I invested in a new compact zoom camera. The picture quality can never compete with a digital SLR camera but I'm pleased with the results.
I've made the pictures clickable so you can see them in more detail if you wish. Thanks for taking a look.

The view from the apartment was breathtaking. This picture of the city's Old Town was taken the night after a thunderstorm; the light was crystal clear.
I witnessed several stunning sunsets from the apartment's terrace. Here's a shot just as the sun's gone down and the lights of the Old Town have started twinkling. The two white dots on the horizon are a passing ship (left) and an island's lighthouse (just off-centre).
Night has fallen.
 An impressive boat by day... |  ... and at night. |
 This inquisitive cat made daily visits to the apartment! |  In fact, cats were pretty much everywhere! |
Just to prove I was there...
View over the Old Town from the fort at the top of Mount Srd, a key location in the Homeland War.
Taken during a walk along the city walls, which afforded stunning views of the Old Town and out to sea.

The many narrow alleyways and steps in the Old Town reminded me very much of Venice. Maureen goes to Dubrovnik?!
 The island Lokrum - known for its tranquility and lush greenery. |  In the thick of it |

The writer in me wants to give these characters back-stories!
