Six Days of Night: Croatia


Night is a time of contrasts. Light and dark. Busy and quiet. Wandering the old town of Split, I found this lonely little table in a back alley. By day, you would probably find someone drinking a coffee here. By night, it was silent and empty. The security lights are stark and unforgiving.

Contrast that with this main street in Dubrovnik, where the night is a gathering time. Warm light spills out of the doors and the restaurants, to reflect on the marble-paved streets. Artistic lights highlight the architectural details of buildings. You can almost hear the murmur of conversation, the clank of utensils on plates, drifting laughter.


Both Croatia, both historic city centers, both night. Yet so different.

  1. Lovely, thank you for sharing these, I do miss wondering around Dubrovnik's cobbled streets, drinking coffee outside and watching the world go by.
