Susak: The Forgotten Island
Susak is a small island situated offshore of Croatia. Today, it is inhabited by less than 200 people and has a similar number of cats. Wandering through the streets of the only town on the island with the same name, you get the feeling of strolling through a forgotten place. There are many empty ruins slowly crumbling down and being taken by nature. Things used to be different in Susak. Until the mid of the 20th century, the little island was known for its fertile lands, which were used for cultivating wine grapes. A stunning 98% of the island was covered by extensive vineyards. Additionally, people worked as fishermen and in navigation. With the spread of modernity, people strived for better living conditions, and many left for the US and other parts of the world. Susak became largely deserted and turned into a largely forgotten place with mostly older inhabitants left.
Croatia Off Season
The country of Croatia is situated in the southeast of Europe and is a popular destination for travelers around the world. However, many tourists arrive in the warmer seasons of the year. Coming to the coast of Croatia in winter during a pandemic offers new perspectives on this beautiful country. You get to enjoy empty streets and seashores, with only some birds and cats quietly watching the waves go by.
Würzburg in Fall
Coming to Würzburg in the fall, you have the chance to experience the city in beautiful, warm colors. Wandering the numerous parks and gardens of the city, you get the feeling of being in an autumn wonderland of sorts. In the midst of the spectacle, we find beautiful historic buildings that add to the picturesque look at this particular time of the year.
St. Kilians Cathedral
The Cathedral of St.-Kilian in the city of Würzburg is dedicated to the holy figure of St. Kilian. The church is 105 meters long, and it is the fourth most prominent Roman Catholic clerical building in Germany.
Lucerne in Summer
Lucerne is situated in the central part of Switzerland. The location of the city is magnificent, not only is there a large lake in front, but also a “private” mountain called Pilatus. The city itself is beautiful too, with historic city walls and an old wooden bridge across the river Reuss. The pictures were shot in late summer / early autumn of 2021.
