I loved this scene too. It’s all so peaceably animated.
4 years agoHey, Greg. No, it’s just you. No one else would find humor in such things.
4 years agoI’m glad you enjoyed them, Suzanne. It was really a wonderful experience for us too, and now I’m sorry I didn’t manage to video the complete performances.
Rachael and I used to dance a bit also some time ago. Mostly contra-dancing, which pushed the limits on our coordination and comfort with personal closeness. We took a class in Scandinavian folk dances but were failures - the instructor finally gave up on us. We love to watch and listen though.
Well, I've been reading like crazy trying to catch up on your tour. I've finally done it. Good stuff.
I probably should have posted this comment a couple of pages ago, but I got a personal chuckle when you wrote "Samobor sounds like an attractive place." I suppose that is true after visiting places with names like Krapina and Krapinski Toplice. Is it just me, or has anybody else commented about visions of excrement and parasitic insects?
Thank you for the wonderful wonderful videos with the folk dancing and music! How lucky you were to be there, I so envy you. I used to do East European folk dance and this reminded me how much I loved it - I think it brought a tear or two.
4 years agoAlways love videos that show a bunch of bicycles and very few cars (only one here, I believe). And the beautiful scenery!
4 years agoI hope Ron doesn't look too closely at this photo. He might get Calf Envy!
4 years agoLove these photos that capture the spirit of the subjects.
These people make me want to visit Karlovac!
Woohoooooo! Congrats on 1000 km!
4 years agoIsn’t it great though? I’ll definitely need to go by again when the light is better. I tried to find out more about it but haven’t yet. On the map it’s just labeled as Deveni Most (wooden bridge).
4 years agoThat is really distinctive! I've never seen a wooden bridge built quite like it.
4 years agoNo. At least, I hope not.
4 years agoThanks. I was pleased with the girls too, and considered cropping it down to just them.
4 years agoLucky, indeed, to be in town for these performances!
Love the videos .. especially the dresses and kids dancing off-stage in #3.
But, what about your readership! I would have liked to have seen a photo of each one.
