For today I prepared a bunch of photographs from the autumn of 2013. Yeah, this stuff happened a decade ago. It's far from being fresh & new but wasn't published here on HVE or anywhere else, so it makes sense to make a medium-sized post out of that old material. Have a good viewing.
This is a scene from the harbor of Medulin, my hometown.
A small boat was floating on the calm water of the shallow sheltered bay.
The sky was cloudy and beautiful, a typical autumnal kind of sky. These three photographs that started the post were taken in a place called Vizula, the small peninsula, and an archeological park near the harbor.
A restaurant and some fairly big apartment buildings can be seen nowadays at the entrance of the archeological park, but back then in 2013 ...
... all that just started taking shape. The construction sites looked abandoned for years and the buildings were finished only in 2020 or 2021.
I found some surprisingly photogenic details on one of those construction sites in the autumn of 2013.
Here you can see a set of four photographs taken on the terrace in front of my house.
The name of this cute little dog is Bepina.
In some of these six photographs, Bepina is posing with her daughter, Belina.
Here you can see Bepina, Elina, and two cats. Cats weren't completely domesticated and didn't have a name as far as I know.
In this tryptich, you can see a pair of shoes and a friend of mine photographed in a suburban neighborhood on the outskirts of the city of Pula.
This interesting little thing was found and photographed in one of the backyards there. It looks like some kind of fruit.
Can't tell you what plant is this.
Here you can see another tryptich in which the shoes are the main protagonists. The photographs were taken in my friend's suburban home.
I found some cool details in her room.
These mysterious mushrooms, for example ...
... and two beautiful sea snail shells. You can see one of those shells in this shot. In the following triptych...
... you can take a good look at the second one.
My friend is practicing some kind of stretching gymnastics in these two photographs.
At one point, an alien appeared on the TV screen announcing the end of the world that, just like all the other ends of the world I saw being announced, never came.
This chili pepper was photographed in the garden in front of the house.
Here you can see three bestial selfies I took in my bathroom mirror. I used some cheap Halloween props bought in the supermarket a year or two before to make myself more interesting for these shots.
Besides my feet, you can see some beautiful fallen leaves on the asphalt of one of the small streets in the center of Medulin, m hometown, in this typical autumnal photograph.
This is a portrait of the one-eyed cat in my yard.
This cat lost the eye when she or he was much younger and smaller. It kept appearing in my yard from time to time for another five or six years.
Here you can see two more portraits of the same cat.
This is Bepina again.
Here you can see another selfie created thanks to the bathroom mirror. It's a very ordinary selfie with nothing weird or interesting to showcase.
This signal pole was photographed in the bay of Liznjan. Liznjan is a village a couple of kilometers from where I live.
Here you can see some details from one of the small, makeshift piers in Liznjan's harbor. The following photograph ...
... was taken on the stretch of coastline a couple of kilometers from the village of Shishan. About seven or eight kilometers from Medulin, the small seaside town in which I live.
Here you can see the sun above one of the street lamps in my neighborhood.
You can take a better, more up-close look at the same lamp in this shot.
The sun looked like a small disc when seen through the layer of clouds.
Here you can see a bunch of small cats in my yard. One of them is still alive and is a house cat with a name now.
These are the same cats.
I don't know what is this. It looks like some strange mummified arachnid. I don't know where it was photographed either.
The plant shown in this shot is Datura stramonium. It was photographed in Vizula ...
... very early in the morning.
Later that day I photographed the Dittrichia viscosa in the same place near the harbor.
This white cat was cleaning its paws after exploring one of the garbage cans in my neighborhood.
And now, with all this shown, said & done, I'm ready to continue playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Late last night I had a fairly long battle with a bunch of bears and bear-sized spiders called frostbite spiders. It was funny to watch. I came across one bear and tried to escape him. While I was running a spider noticed me and started chasing me just like the bear. I continued running and soon, I had three bears and two giant spiders after me. I managed to reach some fairly high rocks where the beasts couldn't follow me. I killed them all comfortably from there using some very destructive magical powers. I jumped down from my secure place on the rocks and collected a nice bounty of three pelts and two doses of precious frostbite venom. I used the pelts to create pieces of leather armor and the venom to make my dagger poisonous. There is always something interesting to do in the amazing world of this game.
