by Dubrovnik!
George Bernard Shaw called the city “paradise on earth,”
and it is easy to see why.
Dubrovnik is a 12th Century masterpiece sitting on the jewel like Adriatic Sea.
The old city is surrounded by towering medieval walls, looming up to 80 feet over the city.
The walls can be walked in entirety,
offerring incredible views over the old city and the sea.
Game of Thrones was filmed here,
because the city retains a magical sense of unique ancientness.
Cheers to you from magical old Dubrovnik~
(Excuse my absence, but I should be returning to available wifi in a few days!)

Very lovely place. Fantastic alter area.
Isn’t the interior of this church amazing! There was no one in it. We stumbled into it.
Your travel bug is taking you to places I have always dreamed about! Your photos are just fabulous and I can only imagine what the scenes must be like “in person.”
Hugs to you Dor & I am so happy we are traveling virtually together! <3
You brought the uniqueness and beauty of Dubrovnik right into my American home, Cindy — thanks so much for this visit. Your photos and this ancient city are breathtaking. Have fun!
Wish you were here, we could take some sunset photos together!
Great photos. Everyone who visits seems to be in awe. It´s on the list.
Yes, it has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world~
A beautiful city, Cindy. Peggy and I loved it. And isn’t walking around the wall fun! –Curt
The wall is incredible! The whole city is spectacular. So glad you both have been here~
And hope to go back, Cindy.
Amazing! Love the water views and the tiled roofs of the city but also love that cathedral — totally awesome.
For once, the word awesome is completely accurate! <3
Those are lovely photos. I’ve been wanting to go to Dubrovnik for some time now. Especially because I live in Spain, so it’s a hop and a skip away.
Hop, skip and hurry! You want to go to Dubrovnik! <3
It’s magical – I wonder how the town managed with all that film crew from “The Game of Thrones”?
If they came in off season, there would be room, but they must overtake the place!
I can imagine.
I will be heading there in 2018. Wow! now I am excited after seeing your lovely photos.
You should definitely be excited. It is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen!
Enjoy your travels, Cindy — and thanks for these breath-taking views. You’re blessed to get to see them in person!!
Thanks so much for traveling along with me Debbie. You make the trip more fun!
An awesome place! I really love those houses with orange clay roof tiles (I am guessing that they are made from clay). Their somewhat random pattern and the orange color against the deep blue sky are so pleasing to look.
I love really old rooftops, so thank you for noticing. Prague’s and Dubrovnik’s have to be some of the most fascinating I have seen. I love the contrasting lines and colors offset by the azure blue sea too!
Fabulous, Cindy! Thanks for taking us along on your magical journey. 🙂 xo
You make it so much more fun my friend! <3
Reblogged this on Musings on Life & Experience and commented:

Your photos leave me awestruck so we are equal my friend~
Wow I love the colors in their architecture! I love your travel photos sweetie! Hugz, Lisa
Hugs back to you and the bear child!
Thanks, Cindy, for showing us such a beautiful place through your photos! 🙂
Thank you more for traveling with me~ <3
It’s a beautiful city. I have never been there, but visited the Yugoslavia before the war and loved the food. You showed the beauty of the city well.
Thanks my friend, we are traveling all over the former Yugoslavia & Bulgaria. It is special to me because my grandfather emigrated from here to the US in 1920~
Enjoy your trip and enjoy the food. And please eat some Ajvar for me. I cannot get it here. Gosh I would take a bath in it right now. LOL
Have a good time and take lots of pictures. (Not that I have to tell you this.) 🙂
Lovely, Cindy. Just added Dubrovnik to my bucket list!
You will be very glad you added it!
Dubrovnik looks charming. There are so many places I would love to see. Thanks for giving me a peek into the wider world Cindy. Enjoy!
Thank you more for traveling with me Brad~
It’s a treat!
<3
A stunning place indeed. Definitely a surprise on our one-day stop there not that many years ago. Many thanks for the reminders through our outstanding images.
So happy you had a chance to visit this beautiful place!
Oh, my! I am awestruck, too, Cindy. Many regrets that I did not visit Dubrovnic whilst in Europe.
That just means you may want to visit again someday!
Beautiful! Ah, G-o-T, one of my favorite wastes of time (nod to Marshall Crenshaw for that phrase). (Watson! Bring me my AX!) 🙂
Love GoT and the phrase, and you of course! Be well my friend~
Beautiful, Paradise on earth, thank you Cindy. These are amazing photos. 🙂
Hugs to you dear friend~ <3
Splendid photographs, Cindy. Looks like a wonderful place to visit.
Very kind & most appreciated too!
I live by the sea but not in these spectacular settings. Lovely. <3
It is a magical setting!
Yes it is. 🙂
Wow Cindy, your travels and your photos of them have been Spectacular! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much more for appreciating them!
Very beautiful photos, Cindy 🙂
Hugs to you Irene! <3
Thank you Cindy, hugs to you too <3
Stunningly, beautiful, Cindy. We hope to see it for ourselves someday.
Leslie
You will be very happy you made the effort!
🙂
magical indeed..=^_^=
Grazie mille!
DAZZLING!
Thank you dear friend~ <3
Wow!!!
That is exactly what I thought the whole time there!
I loved this, Cindy, Any city by the sea is my cup of tea, and this one, with its history is special. I didn’t know it had been used for Game of Thrones but looking at your pictures, I could see King’s Landing..
Yes! You have good visual memory. I was noticing set locations too!
Breathtaking….! Blue sky and sea, a paradise indeed. Thank you so much, Cindy for posting while you are traveling. I know how much trouble you have to go trouble to get these beautiful photos up. 🙂 <3
The wifi is so unstable. Thank you for understanding Amy & cheers to you my friend~ <3
Stunning photos – I want to go there.
Please be kind to yourself and go! <3
As always, your photos are wonderful – composition wise and color wise. Enjoy!
So thoughtful of you & so appreciated too!
Wonderful shots across the rooftops, Cindy.
(now here…..is one place I have been to…..but I only seem to have one good shot made down in the harbour)
I am so glad you had the opportunity to visit here and thank you!
I could see myself walking here…..lovely.
WIth each step you feel as if you are walking further back in time~
That is something I have always dreamed of.
Hardly know what to say. Amazing, gorgeous, stunning and WOW, come to mind. What a truly beautiful place.
It ties with Prague as my favorite city in the world so far!
Cindy, what beautiful photographs! So beautiful. What an architectural delight and the scenery is breath-taking. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing city with us. K. D. 🙂
Thank you much more for such a kind and thoughtful comment. It is so motivating and encouraging!
Amazing photos as usual!! 🙂 <3
Hugs to you my friend~ <3
fantastic photos!
Ah, honored! Graxie~
As a GoT viewer, I have to say that you managed to show us some beautiful views and angles of Dubrovnik that even show producers didn’t manage to! Wow! They need to hire you! And what a wonderful way to end this series of photos – with a magnificent interior of that cathedral.
Can you imagine how much fun it would be to be a still photographer on that set! The cathedral was an amazing surprise. It was empty, tucked away, and so splendid! Take good care Lynn~
Dumbstruck!
Ahhhh, thank you!
Thought you’d be struck by that particular beauty, Cindy – love the photos. Hugs and hugs and hugs
The beauty is unbelieveable. George Bernard Shaw was right to fall in love with Dubrovnik and I have fallen heavily for all of Croatia! I feel like I am walking in my grandfather’s footsteps and everything seems strangely familiar, from the handmade textiles which I inherited lots of, to the food which I cook, and the written language which I can somewhat understand (not the spoken though). It is so beautiful here. Hugs back to you dear one~
<3
You know how to present Cindy and these vista’s are spectacular. What a wonderful and magical place.
Ah, what a lovely comment! Thank you~
This place reminds me of a place I visited called Camogli Italy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camogli
We are heading to Italy soon. This looks lovely. Thanks for the tip~
Amazing captures of an enchanted place. Thanks Cindy 💛
Enchanted is a perfect descriptor Val!
I want to be there! lol Thank you for sharing these gorgeous pictures! Just beautiful. Now I’m going to have to watch Game of Thrones!
