From our hotel in Portoroz, it was a short walk to the medieval village of Piran situated at the end of the Piran Penninsula on the Adriatic Sea. Its medieval architecture, narrow streets, and compact houses give it a fairy tale image. Piran began its history as part of the early Roman Empire and has survived through many different rulers. We climbed the hill to the castle above the village to get this shot.

You sure do get to see some of the most fasinating and beautiful places to see and get a chance to do some gorgeous photo work in. What a view and pov you have for this one. I love the way we are looking down on the village, seing all the rooftops and making out some of the remarkable desighs of them. Love the steeples that stand out so tall. I especially love the water and the little sailboat out on it. Gorgeous colors, a beuatiful place to be my friend. #9069427Karen Celella November 29, 2010
