Hi NG,
I haven't been here in a while because i am sorting out my new apartment in Cres.
A bit of holidays, friends and of course family occupied my attention.
Last night i took my camera out because of my favorite type of moon...
Hugs and kisses, Jakov

Waves of gold. the local saying is "don't stress in Cres" and that is a wise advice.
So lazy waves became a sea of red gold.

We do our best to live up to the local motto -- 'No stress on Cres'.
Hint: 'Cres' is pronounced similar to 'tres'.
-
Love all the images from Cres, keep them coming ;)
-
The other guys went for a boating trip around Cres today. It was stifling hot so I ended up at the nudist beach to enjoy the cooling water.
The FKK (=Freie Körper Kulture) beach is integrated in the ordinary beach of Cres and the shore pathway runs straight through it. When you leave the nudist beach, signs remind you to dress up, but many people didn't care much. With the scanty clothing worn by the younger people, in particular the females, the difference would be negligible anyway.
The warning sign that reminds you to put on textiles :)

An image from the balcony to close off an amazing day.

It's great to see you all having fun and shooting very nice, original images! I guess it's kind of synchronicity my wife without knowing of this all has today suggested to me a week holiday in Supetar on the island of Brač in beautiful Croatia.

NG team plays in a high league.
You showed a very refreshing and appealing series of pictures of your meeting.
For sure, I like them as well, as Croatia is one of my favourite areas.
@ Eric: where are the IR lamb chops with "white" arugula?
@Jakov: combining your Clinton quote and the hammock in the sea,
are you reversing it: flood your ass and your brain will follow... with Slivovic?
