About Kotor (Serbian Cyrillic: Котор; Italian Cattaro, Venetian Cŕtaro; Latin: Acruvium, Greek Askrčvion, Ασκρηβιον) is a coastal town in Montenegro. It is located in a most secluded part of Gulf of Kotor. The town has a population of 13,510, and is the administrative center of the Kotor municipality.

The old Mediterranean port of Kotor, surrounded by an impressive city wall built by Serbian House of Nemanjić, is very well preserved and protected by UNESCO. Between 1420 and 1797, Kotor and its surroundings were under the rule of the Republic of Venice and the Venetian influence remains dominant among the architectural influences. The Gulf of Kotor (Boka Kotorska), one of the most indented parts of the Adriatic Sea is sometimes called the southern-most fjord in Europe (though it is actually a submerged river canyon). With the nearly overhanging limestone cliffs of Orjen and Lovćen one of the great Mediterranean landscapes is created.

This is one of the old churches inside Kotor, I was very impressed by its simple beauty and peaceful atmosphere.

Wishing you a nice and peaceful Sunday, Jenxx

Jen van Wijn   {K:23265} 5/25/2008
The priest was very kind and wanted me to make more shots even, although he doesnt look like that, maybe proud to have his church neat and
peaceful, was quite small einside, stupid I forget to take a shot what church it was...but will be back in Montenegro agian, wonderful area!
Thanks a lot for your kind comment, hopefully you had a relaxed day too!!:))
Hugs and kiss, Jenxx

Kator is amazing, this huge castle wall all around the mountain, so very wonderful at night when lighted!
Had a cosy and calm Sunday here, raining outside
for a change:)) How about there? Wishing you a nice evening my dear,
Big hugs Jenxx


Jen van Wijn   {K:23265} 5/25/2008
Dank je Har, ik vond de man wel wat hebben, misschien ook wel een beetje omdat ik oooooit een Russische vriend heb gehad die hier op leek..hahaa


Jen van Wijn   {K:23265} 5/25/2008
Wat goed dat je dat zag, volgens mij had ze er nog 1 maar haar gallery staat zo enorm vol, geen beginnen aan om te zoeken:) Zo raak ik nog eens bekend hier en daar....:))


Jen van Wijn   {K:23265} 5/25/2008
Heb hard zitten denken over ZZPer, help me!! Welke klant vind het nou niet leuk om gepictured te worden, tenzij het in bepaalde oorden is:)) kisssies Jenxx


Jen van Wijn   {K:23265} 5/25/2008
Well it was summer and I wasnt really dressed up, that might have worked.....loll...noooo really kidding about that, he was just very kind and wanted me to take even more shots, suppose he was just very proud about his little castle:)!!
Thanks a lot dear Hohn, hopefully you had a sunny and happy day, big hugs, Jenxx


Jen van Wijn   {K:23265} 5/25/2008
It looked kind of dark as it is, but to be honest I liked the little candles at the background of him, fiving just this special effect....I was delighted yes, might have saved my soul:)) Who knows........thanks for showing you my dear, feels better now!! Big hugs and be well, Jenxx


biljana mitrovic   {K:44151} 5/25/2008
Hey my dear :)
I am so glad you laked Orthodox church..all they are very peaceful and full of serenity :)
Those little candles have some symbolic mining : Upside are candles with which we ask God for health for our living family , friends,for us...for life..and down are for asking God to be careful and kind with those whom past away...

just another little "lesson " of Orthodox church :))))

Here was wonderful day for you :)))Pity you wasn't here....

big hug
biljana


Jen van Wijn   {K:23265} 5/25/2008

Thanks for liking my dear priest, might show him these pictures next time I will be there..:)

Jen van Wijn   {K:23265} 5/25/2008
Thank you for the about my dear friend, I will keep that in mind as I made a shot from the candles as well inside:))
We dont have candles in the church I was brought up, nothing to look at just listening and reading the songbook, so this is still great to see for me:))
Really bad weather here, cold too so will be in bed early, its better there:))
Enjoy your evening my dear, hugs Jenxx


Srna Stankovic   {K:114888} 5/25/2008

John Hatz   {K:149382} 5/25/2008
well... that is a surprice...
BUT... if you ever be at my place, don't do that hahahahaha....


Paul de Beukelaar   {K:11748} 5/25/2008
John,
as apparently you are from Greece, do you think this man could be Demis Roussos after retirement ?
The whole problem with photography is that it is such silent as the man in question could be a very good bariton as well. Jen finally found something missing in your excellent pictures.
cheers,
Paul


Teresa Ferraris   {K:9604} 5/25/2008
