above Kotor, with October storms
Today’s post is unashamedly a travel post – with a fine tree enjoying the view from high above Kotor, on the road from Cetinje, in Montenegro – “One of the most dramatic trips in Montenegro, if not the whole of Europe” [Rough Guide to Montenegro].
For those more comfortable in the virtual world, here’s a modern view of the same stunning route.
turn, turn, turn!
Farewell to summer
and sunlit alpine vistas
lazy river days.
the dreaming time fades
while busy insects hover,
autumn shades arrive.
stack wood for winter!
Kids in ancient streets, scooting
back to schools and rules.
leaves wither, even
evergreens must pass away.
old hearts with new starts.
Bohinj lightning spikes
trees, mountain, sky, coalesce
under thunder rolls
sky retreats, sun drawn
trees reclaim their proper place
mountain dominates
Triglav, Slovenia, August 2012
