Think I can write on forever on this topic about Street Life.
The weather in Croatia is usually good, with lots of sunshine, which means we spent most of the time outdoors.
We were fortunate enough to visit Split while they have a festival. A sort of festival in which the residents of almost the whole town would come out and celebrate.
I particularly like the colorful balloons and the jovial atmosphere when the residents gathered together to celebrate.
Even during the night time, the people in Split were still celebrating, drinking, having concerts, fireworks – making the night a really memorable occasion.
It is quite common to see that the residents also enjoy having drinks and food in the open, cafes like this is a common place.
No visiting of a place is complete without visiting their market. I like locally made crafts and foods which were displayed.
There are so many narrow lanes and alleys in Split. It was a joy wandering around to have a good look at the place.
Here two people are sitting out in the alley, chatting.
Every town seems to have their own square. The town square in Split also have its charm and attracted quite a few tourists too.
Split really is a place where you not only see how people in other places live, it also is a place where you reflect on one’s way of living !
Looks a little different than it did in 94
I suppose it has changed for the better!
I love the picture of the alley most of all. The clean and clear lines of the walls on either side make you look up and then you see green leaves and beyond that, the blue sky.
There is so much in one picture – that’s why I like the picture!
Your lovely photos remind me I need to renew my passport and book a flight to Europe. What a civilisation!
Hope you will visit it soon!
This seems to be a very good place to be and to walk around!
A pleasant place indeed. Have a great weekend!
That looks like a fun day!
It was a day for the patron saint of Split. Have a great weekend!
Surely Croatia and the whole of that area was once under Roman rule …? – which is where the town squares would have originated …
I believe so. Have a great weekend!
Oh, my. Just looking at these photos I want to jump on a plane and visit Croatia. What time of the year was this festival?
Hi, we were there in May. It was the festival for their patron saint – hope this will help to find out the more exact date.
oh, yes. you are lucky to have visited. I’ll go check it out.

Last year I went on a Mediterranean cruise and one of the stops was Split. Of all the countries we visited, Croatia is the only one I would love to go back to. I was amazed at how clean the city was (other than the graffiti). I was also surprised with how affordable it was, of course that may have changed since they converted to the euro. Wonderful pictures.
This is also the country that I would like to go back to, maybe, also including Slovenia. I think prices are still affordable. have a great weekend!
Amazing shots. So fit to the challenge! Thank you for sharing.
I am running out of images for this challenge. Glad that you like the Split images. Regards, Michael
I am always amazed by your photography, so much things to learn from what I have seen. Thank you, Michael.
Hi, glad to hear from you and thanks for the kind comment!
I really mean it. You probably can notice from some photos I have made. 🙂 Thank you
Appreciated! Have a great week ahead 🙂
I do envy your ability to go to all these magical places!
For this, I am grateful to The Lord. regards, Michael
Beautiful photos!
Thank you!
I have never seen streets like this except maybe Mexico years ago. Our American streets are “boring!” Great shots!
The streets are full of life, so it is a change of scene from that in the States. Regards, Michael
I am an Aussie who now lives in Croatia, and I have to say you’ve captured this place PERFECTLY. WOnderful photos!
Wow! I didn’t expect someone to comment from Croatia; flattered by your comment. Thank you & regards, Michael
Split was one of my favourite places. Lovely photos.
It’s my favorite too. Regards, Michael
Great photo’s !! Wish I was there, amazing!
Glad that you like them. Thank you!
Really enjoyed the tour – great photos and especially liked the narrow alley with 2 people. A place I hope to visit one day.
I like that photo too and have taken a few photos all with narrow alleys in Split. Hope you will visit it there soon!
Beautiful entry … and gallery – the alley photo is my favorite pick. Just wonder what they are talking about. Gossip about everyone not present. *laughing.
I guess they are lovers!
Yes, let say they are lovers … I like that.
🙂
I thought your photo shoot was in Kota area, one of historical place in Jakarta, Indonesia, it’s just look similar. The building and the environment (i mean the sellers)
Think markets everywhere have some similarity. Regards, Michael
Great alley shot!
Thank you, have a lovely day!
Wonderful photos. I especially love the alley shot and how the light at the end frames the couple. Great capture!
I was so attracted to narrow alleys that I took many shots. Glad that you like this one!
