Love for traveling part 3: Stare Duće (Old vilage near Omiš in Croatia)

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

This is a story about little and abandoned village called "Stare Duće".

Abandoned because of tourism, all of the previous tenants went to new Duće (closer to Adriatic sea), and some in foreign countries looking for work.

The village itself is located near small town Omiš, at the mountain and national park "Biakova".

Although the village is not far from Adriatic sea it has steeply and rocky terrain.

The pictures were taken in the year 2007 and vas made with Nokia n95. :)

Beautiful Post @zelenicic

Thank you. I'm still evolving my type of writing and photography

Wow that is awesome @zelenicic and you took them 7 years ago. How high up is that? The views are beautiful, how people lived there must have been very interesting. :)

This was actually settlement of pirates. I'll write about they hometown Omiš (I hope soon) and why they became pirates. Don't know how high settlement is but highest peak "Sveti Jure" is 1762 m. The settlement is aprox 1/3 of that

Too bad. And at the same time, they tell us about overpopulation and how we need to move on Mars. Funny.

Manny people from Croatia and Bosnia & Hercegovina left because of economics. I think this was the case with this settlement (but many years ago).

It's also happening now. In Slovenia too. That's why I'm in Canada now.

It is a sad thing. But now we have steemit to change things around. I have cousins in Maribor.
