This shot was taken from the same location as the previous.
I spotted this white ferry coming into Split Harbor with the dark storm clouds in the background. It was a photo waiting to be taken.
Narrow Street, Stari Grad, Hvar
The ancient city of Stari Grad, Hvar is said to be one of the oldest cities on the Mediterranean.
Artistic Rendering - Stari Grad Lane
We could have spent hours exploring these narrow lanes. They were completely free of the trash one associates with alley-ways and around every corner another scene was waiting to be photographed.

This is the small harbour of Stari Grad, Hvar. It does not share the glamour of the larger town of Hvar, on the Island of Hvar, but it is very picturesque and peaceful.
This street scene might look staged, but it reflects the pride of the people of Stari Grad to show their ancient city at its best. In the photo we see stone walls, arched entrances to homes, an arch across the road, and a church steeple in the background. The colourful flowers and decorative trees in pots are the final touch.
