Crno jezero, Montenegro

here comes something from not so far away....

ч

I have to admit that from the bird's perspective, many Montenegrin lakes seem the same to me...the shapes and the wood surroundings....so unless it is written on the card or the sender tells me about it, I highly doubt I would be able to distinguish them.
And this lake here is Krupačko jezero (jezero=lake) which is in the vicinity of Nikšić.....where a monster lives, in case you didnt know....maybe the Montenegrin version of Loch Ness  :))))))))))))))))))))))))  Sorry R., couldnt resist it! :D

Unfortunately, the internet is rather stingy on giving some more detailed information about this lake, so I will leave it up to the natives to tell you more about it if they want.

edit: well, i should trust my sixth sense next time...and instead of thinking that all lakes in Montenegro are alike, that THAT is actually the lake it reminds me of and that it is not another one...but see how wrong information on the back can mislead you...so this is the Black Lake on the mountain Durmitor as I initially thought...funny thing is, at first I wanted to post a Durmitor card (all covered in snow) but then I thought, ok, I already had one card posted related to it, lets bring something new....well, I guess, Durmitor was destined to appear here :)

and due to the nature of the post, I wont delete the above information :)

thanks a lot  to Rajko for clarifying my doubts on this one!

the two stamps on the card are from 2008. The left one is from a set of two stamps called Radost Evrope (or, the Joy of Europe), while the other one is from a 'mixed issue' set and says to depict 'historic heritage'.

Thanks a lot to Maria for sending this one!

Durmitor, Montenegro

One of the numerous cards i bought to myself during my stay in Montenegro this year.

And i really like this edition of huge cards they have...not only coz they are huge...but they have beautiful images as well!
This card shows the Lake Škrčko below the Bobotov Peak (2,523 m), the highest peak on Mt. Durmitor.
And Durmitor is also one of the two UNESCO whs in Montenegro, so now i finally have Montenegro complete...boy...this sounded as if Montenegro had 20 UNESCO whs and now, after loads of hard work, i had finally been able to collect them all.
Unfortunately, this is one of the places in Montenegro i didnt manage to visit even though i wanted to...but there were no excursions organized for there in particular, so unless you arrange it on your own, you dont have much of a choice of how to get there...so maybe next time ill be more lucky and have the chance to go there...it definitely is a beautiful place and more than worth seeing.
