Croatian summer 2012. II

So, here are some photos I took in the last week:

My beach in Smokvica (well, not mine, the one I go to every day):


 
View from our terrace early in the morning:



The path I take when I go running (not that I managed a lot of that):

 
View from that path - the island of Krk on the other side:



One more from the running path:



Slightly better (closer) view from the path from Smokvica to Klenovica:



One more from the view from the path from Smokvica to Klenovica:



Love from Croatia! :)

    1. Doc Elly, I do feel grateful it's relatively easy for me to enjoy the beauty of Adriatic coast.
      Where I've been staying is only 2,5 hour drive from Zagreb.

  5. Beautiful pictures! I'm glad you enjoyed your vacation.

    I wanted to ask, does Smokvica stand for a fig tree and Klenovica - for a maple tree?

    1. Ha, Undina, I didn't know, but yes, klen is a maple tree (I always imagine maple trees differently, I admit).
      Klenovica means the place where those trees grow, while Smokvica means at the same time little fig and a little fig tree as the word for both is the same in Croatian (smokva).
