I took this photo in Dubrovnik, overlooking the old town and the island of Otok Lokrum in the background. From the city walls, I looked out over a sea of orange roofs blending into the deep blue of the Adriatic. The sun was just right: warm enough to bring the colours to life, but soft enough to preserve the serenity of the moment.
What struck me most was the contrast between the vibrant city and the green, quiet island behind it. As if Dubrovnik and Lokrum were each other's opposites the one full of history and stories, the other calm and untouched. It was a view that quieted for a moment; a moment when everything seemed balanced.
For me, this photo symbolises the feeling of travelling: wonder, silence and the beauty of places where time seems to stand still.
