Zadar



Zadar is a coastal city in Croatia.  

Young boys everywhere love to dive.  I sure did.

Few of them have as nice a setting.

(Yes, Susie, I would have told him to keep his legs together and straight and
point his toes if I were closer and if I spoke Croatian.)

    Cute flying Croatian even if his form lacked finesse!

    Well, it's a great action shot. But re your comment about correcting his form, that's 'cause you are too long in the northeast. Heh heh. Be free, Jack, be free. Let it all hang out! And don't forget to keep your left arm straight and follow through!

    Great summer fun. Nothing like clear, cool water on a warm summer's day. You have it all.

    It looks like he thinks he can fly.

    The Dalmatian Coast is wonderful. I assume you visited Dubrovnik, Hvar, Split and Kotor. I will look forward to more photos sprinkled on your website in the future.

    We didn't make it to Croatia on my trip to Italy last year. Just to many things to see in Italy I guess. This does look like a beautiful spot.

    I've been told Croatia is very pleasant.

    This is exactly what you would need after a palm game but take the wig off first... :-)

    I'd like to see Croatia for myself someday.
