Usually I only make one posting per day. Today I am making an exception to cover my afternoon excursion into Bosnia Herzegovina. Crossing the border by car could not have been easier. The same cannot be said of the last 7km of my two hour drive to the Una National Park. I think the 1-1/4 lane, two-way dirt road is kept that way to keep visitors to an absolute minimum. The challenging drive was well worth the effort. Pictured above are the Štrbački buk falls which are as pretty as any I have ever seen.

On my drive back to Croatia I stopped for a number of photos. Many buildings are still riddled with bullet damage from the war. I stopped to photograph the remnants of a church that appeared to be destroyed by an artillery shell. At the exact instant I was thinking that thought, a MASSIVE explosion occurred right behind the church. I practically had a heart attack as I dove for cover. When I gathered my wits, I figured out that there was a rock quarry behind the church being mined with explosives.

The town of Bihać is quite lovely with a tamer version of River Una running through it. As the sun was setting, I spotted a beautiful hilltop mosque and stopped there for my last photo of the day. Having skipped breakfast and lunch, food was now my main priority. I had a wonderful black truffle risotto for diner making up for all the depravation of the day.
