Mostar

Landscape photography

Mostar – photographs of the Old Bridge, Neretva and mountain landscape
In this gallery, I show Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina from the perspective of the river and the mountains surrounding the city. The main subject is the Neretva: its turquoise water, rocky banks and buildings standing right beside the current. The stone arch of the Old Bridge rises above the river, seen against houses, minarets and mountain slopes.
In urban frames, I am interested in the connection between architecture and its natural surroundings. Pale walls and red roofs contrast with green trees and the colour of the water. The line of the river leads the eye into the image, while the bridge organises the composition. Different viewpoints reveal both the crossing itself and the arrangement of buildings on either side of the Neretva.
The album also includes wider landscapes: extensive buildings in the valley, mountains partly obscured by low clouds and a green plain beneath a broad sky. These photographs leave more room for space and show Mostar in the context of its surroundings. I took the photographs with a Canon EOS 6D, using focal lengths from 17 to 36 mm. Wide frames allowed me to combine the river, architecture and mountain backdrop in one image. Detailed camera settings are available under the “More Info” button.
