If ‘beauty is truth,
and truth beauty,’
both can be most perfectly seen,
in age,
and innocence.
Kotor Montenegro possesses both the beauty of age,
and the appeal of innocence.
It seems unspoiled by the modern world.
Staying here one feels removed from the stress and strife of our messy contemporary lives.
Cheers to you from beautiful Kotor Montenegro~

Sehr eindrucksvoll, Bilder und Text ! Mein Englisch ist ja nicht so toll, aber gehört da nicht ein “be” vor “seen”. Wenn nicht habe ich den Satz nicht verstanden 🙂 Herzliche Grüße und viele, viele weitere Eindrücke in Montenegro.
Vielen Dank, dass du meinen Fehler gefunden hast und mich so schnell benachrichtigt hast. Du hast mich vor Verlegenheit gerettet und ich bin dir sehr dankbar. Und du hast es in einer zweiten Sprache gemacht. Ich bin beeindruckt und dankbar! Ich wünschte, mein Deutsch sei so gut wie dein Englisch! <3
Das solltest du nicht wünschen 🙂 Du kannst den Kommentar auch gerne löschen. Herzlich
Ich will das. Ich bin so dankbar, dass du dich genug um mich gekümmert hast, um mich von meinem Fehler zu retten. Ich bin so beeindruckt, dass du das Englisch hast. Ich könnte das niemals auf Deutsch machen, und deshalb lerne ich das Bloggen, ich mache wirklich intelligente Freunde aus der ganzen Welt. Ich werde bald in Deutschland sein, Deutsch üben, aber meistens Schnitzel essen!
I meant Ich habe schicke Freunde! <3
Oh, da wünsche ich dir jetzt schon guten Appetit und viel Freude in Deutschland ! Ich freue mich immer über deine wunderschönen Fotos <3
Cindy, I’m going to Google the place, such charm and beauty combined!
Leslie
Yes! It is a true jewel.
<3
What a beautiful land that seems to have stood still in time
It is so wonderful to escape our conflictual world to a place that seems so removed from our problems.
What a lovely place! Reminded me of Italy! Beautiful pictures!
Lovely pictures.
Thank you~
🙂
So beautiful, Cindy. I love the narrow lanes – transported back in time. 🙂
It is wonderful to go back in time isn’t it! <3
Yes. Montenegro really is beautiful.
Happy you have experienced it!
Thanks so much for sharing! What a beautiful place. I look forward to your next post.
I am happy you are traveling along with me!
So much beauty. Thanks for sharing another gem, Cindy. Wow.
If you see the beauty in Kotor, you have beauty in you~
Exquisite photos Cindy. Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us. I hope you are having the time of your life! Hugs.
Life for all of us has moments of beauty, and lots of struggle. Beauty keeps our heads above the water.
What a vibrant and enchanting place Cindy! Thank you for sharing with us 💛
The little girl and the dog were a serious of photos. He was not her dog. They just fell entirely in love with each other as I watched. The baby kept checking with her mother if this was okay, and the dog was rolling full over on his back, giving her total submission. It was perfect beauty.
So lovely – to be a witness to interspecies understanding and love. 💕
Exactly & children establish it so easily!
I am in love with this place. What fantastic photos. I feel such a yearning to walk down those narrow streets, meet the people, and savor all of the beauty.
Well, you have a heart, in the right place~ <3
Beautiful and so vibrant shots 😉
You are a good friend and I appreciate you.
☺️
🙂
Montenegro looks so charming, Cindy 🙂
It certainly lacks glitz and glamour, but then beauty always does~ <3
I agree and I like the charm 🙂
You are very blessed. Kotor is stunning.
Very pleased you enjoyed & thank you!
AWESOME!
Grazie!
The old stone is lovely, Cindy, and against that magnificent backdrop… 🙂 🙂
Yes, it is amazing! Thank you for noticing~
How sweet the young girl with her pal or somebody’s pal. Love the architecture of the buildings. So much character in the villages or towns. I could easily live there.
Your life would be so different, and I suspect possibly better……..
More simple would be nice
Yes!
Thank you for those beautiful epostcards and the thoughts that went with them. I noticed few people in the streets; I assume crowds were standing behind you watching you compose and take the photographs as is (was?) often done with artists with brushes, canvases, and easels on the left bank of Paris.
Ahh, such a thoughtful and lovely comment that touched my <3 ! Thank you & be well~
You made me smile with the first picture and the smile got bigger while scrolling down. What a beautiful place. If these old walls could talk.
I would be listening for days………
Wow, so beautiful – I had to look it up. A new place to me! Looks like paradise. <3
It is unique and quite special. So happy you enjoyed & cheers to you Eliza~
I love the colours and the wonderful light. I will have to visit this place! Croatia and Montenegro are put on my bucket list.
Yay! You will be so glad you added them~ <3
Kids and puppies what a joyous way to draw me in. Magnificent views.
Yep! They works for me evertime too! <3
I have not visited Kotor … but I can tell that it is a place I would appreciate. Just LOVE the pics. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Ahhh, you are so thoughtful & most appreciated~
What a beautiful place! Thank you for taking us there.
Thank you more for traveling with me~
Montenegro is on my bucket list, Cindy! Such a lovely place to de-stress. My Mediterranean blood longs to be there. Hugs from home, sweet friend 💚
Yes, I feel quite at home in Eastern Europe and I expect my genes are responding!
Amazing, as always.
So glad & thanks much my friend~
Beautifully captured, Cindy! How charming and colorful! Thank you so much for the beautiful tour. 🙂 🙂
Very pleased you came along with me Amy & cheers to you~
Oh I love this post. It makes me feel peaceful…maybe because I am old and innocent? Kidding aside your photos and thoughts are remarkable.
Feeling peaceful is important in our stressful lives and old places like this have this soporofic effect. Glad it worked it’s magic on you!
Always beautiful photos, but capturing the top one of the little boy and his dog is my favorite. It does capture the beauty and simple way of life. Is all this still in Greece? Wasn’t sure of that part of geographical location, so assumed it was as that is where your last ones were posted?
I am always behind in my posts, posting about places I just left. I haven’t finished posting about Greece yet. This town is in the country Montenegro that used to be part of the old Yugoslavia~
Thanks, Cindy for clarifying that. I’m sure it is just as beautiful. Loved the little boy and his dog. 🙂
Omg that little girl is so cute! I love the pic with the laundry on the line! Of course all the pics are breathtaking sweetie, Hugz Lisa and Bear
Hugs & friendship back 2U2! <3
I really like the second picture. Love that color cast on the left side walls. Just fantastic color and perspective.
Thanks so much for noticing! I loved the color and light too. So happy you picked up on it!
Wonderful series of images, Cindy.
I love travel photography (since I can’t afford to travel these days).
There are lots of benefits to traveling in your imagination. You miss all of the unintended hassles!
I would LOVE to go there and experience the simplicity of the place; it looks wonderful – and so colourful! Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos Cindy, going to check it out on Mr Google now.
Very pleased you enjoyed. How on earth did we ever live without google? It seems like the dark ages to me now!
Amazing photos! Great post
Grazie mille!
These photo are so lovely….they look like they could be featured in any magazine!!
What a lovely comment. Thank you very much!
Very true….your photos are exquisite!!
These photos are fantastic – you really should think of a book of them. 🙂
Thanks you. It would force me to organize by region which would be very good for my increasing forgetful cerebellum!
ahhhh so inviting, just back from a day trip along the St. Lawrence, wish I’d had some of that sunshine… waves a cheerful hello…
The St Lawrence is soooo beautiful, rain or shine. Cheers back to you my friend~
Beautiful pictures you have here.
So happy you think so & cheeers to you!
Thank you!
Love, love, love, love, LOVE these photos!!!
Ahhh, you made me smile! So happy you resonated with this lovely old place~
Don`t know, how you always find these places or how you get these amazing animalphotos on your Blog! They are unbelievable!!! Respect & many greetings!
Such a motivating and encouraging comment, that makes me happy I posted. Thank you so much!
Reblogged this on Musings on Life & Experience and commented:
It’s absolutely beautiful, like a step back into the Middle Ages.
I wonder how many of us would like to travel back to some other period of time. I certainly would!
Wonderful place!
Indeed it is!
Wow, the beautiful lighting here adds to the enchantment of this place, which, has so much character just by itself. It IS relaxing just to see this! Thanks for the trip back in time Cindy! 🙂
Old places like this remove us, at least temporarily, from our stressful lives. So glad Kotor worked her magic on you Lynn!
Simply paradise, my friend \ \ \◦°˚\(*❛‿❛)/˚°◦ / / /

Simply beautiful.
Grazie!
Reblogged this on Smorgasbord – Variety is the spice of life and commented:
There is much to be said for double glazing, attic insulation and the obligatory energy certificate in Europe that can determine your asking price of a house… but you cannot beat the colour and character of these wonderful old houses as they arch towards each other in narrow streets. Cindy Knoke on her Grand Tour takes us to the warmth of Montenegro and that first photo is just delightful #recommended
Friends like you make blogging so worthwhile. Hugs to you and gratitude too~
It is such a beautiful country and the pictures are so pretty. their Medieval villages are fascinating. Thank you for posting.
Thank you so much more for such kind appreciation & cheers to you!
Tender portrait and breathtaking streets
It takes sensitive heart to recognize tenderness~
