Today, I took a walk in the small seaside settlement called Volme.
I drove only four or five kilometers to get there. Volme is part of the same municipality as Medulin, my hometown. I didn't go far to collect the photographs for today's post. As you can see in this opening photograph, houses in Volme are mostly, nice, colorful, and not too big.
Here you can take a look at something much bigger.
This is Del Mar, a hotel in Banjole, the village across the bay.
The simple, colorful elements of the massive building were a lot of fun to photograph.
Here you can see the tall Phragmites australis grass in the muddy inlet from which I was photographing the distant hotel.
Can't tell you when this wall was built or what was its function. It looks like a part of some old, historic structure.
Not far from there, behind the line of salt marsh vegetation, the meadow was covered with a multitude of flowers. In this photograph, the focus is on the yellow Crepis sancta flowers. In the foreground of the following photograph ...
... you can see the tiny Calepina irregularis flowers.
Here, always in the foreground, you can see the bigger white flowers of the Eruca sativa plant.
About fifty meters further, I reached the Marina. The piers were closed to the public.
Here you can see the Hotel Del Mar in combination with some elegant speed boats from the marina.
In this wider shot, you can see more boats and the entire hotel.
Here you can see the boat jib crane of the marina. In the following photograph ...
... I zoomed in on the upper part of the crane.
These are some stylized sailing boats painted on the nearby container. In the following photograph ...
... I zoomed in on some apartment buildings on the outskirts of Banjole.
These are the houses of Volme.
Here you see another street of the settlement.
The architecture offers a nice variety of details in Volme.
Here you can see some kind of passage between two houses.
This is another line of connected buildings.
Here you can see a lovely flower pot displayed on the porch of one of the houses.
I don't know what to say here. More houses, that's all. When I zoomed in on the buildings shown in this shot ...
... a seagull entered the scene.
Some minutes later, on the way back to the car ...
... I photographed the stylish shadow on the garden wall, cast by the leaves of the agave.
AND THAT'S IT. SOON I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME TO SELECT AND PREPARE THE PHOTOGRAPH FOR THIS POST. AS ALWAYS HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.
