Peljesac Bridge

Peljesac, Croatia

This new bridge, opened in July 2022, spans a channel connecting the southern portion and northern portion of Croatia, thereby bypassing the sliver of land in Bosnia & Herzegovina that bifurcates the two. Prior to completion of this bridge, all traffic had to endure two border crossings.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelje%C5%A1ac_Bridge

52Frames - Week 37 - Portrait Of A Stranger

In the morning we were strangers; by evening we were friends.

We met for the very first time the morning of our 3-day trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina. We talked endlessly…history, religion, politics, business, upbringing and family. We explored each other's customs and practices. And as a bonus, we discovered common interests of photography & cycling.

Wise beyond their years, our half century gap in age was easily bridged as we learned a lot from each other.

While not 100% in line with the “approaching a stranger” concept of the challenge, I decided to use this story based strength of the human connection.
