(I've found out that you can click on the pictures for an enlarged view of it, might be better for some of them especially the ones from the previous post of Prokosko Lake.)
Here are some pictures from my walk to work this morning. It was really sunny which actually made some of the light less than desirable for taking some snapshots. These aren't necessary the prettiest pictures of Sarajevo but rather my typical walk from my apartment to Gariwo. Last night I was walking around Baščaršija (I have to copy/paste that word since I haven't learned where to find the accents on my computer), the old Ottoman part of town, close to sunset and it was just gorgeous. I will definitely need to take tons of pictures of all of the old buildings and streets (there are Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian buildings, it's wonderful to actually see the history of the city) but I didn't have my camera and I think I got enough tourist attention for one day! These pictures are an attempt to show what I see on my daily walk. It's hard because I'm attracted to the old, sometimes run-down/bombed out buildings and I need to remember to portray a fair representation. So in this mind, I tried to take some pictures to show the new, modern buildings in contrast to the other older ones. Also, the Holiday Inn is a good city landmark (the yellow building) so I wanted to show it in perspective to work. Unfortunately some of the pictures won't rotate so I'll have to play around with this blog to get that fixed. Also, excuse the less than perfect picture composition. I didn't want to linger taking each picture...
(Also sorry about the weird formatting, it looked different before I published it, ha)
