Primosten, Trogir and peninsula towns, Dalmatian Coast

Primosten, Croatia, view
Dalmatian Coast. The walled town of Primosten. The standard view from the road heading south. 

See www.dalmacija.net/primosten/home_eng. Primosten once was on an island, made as a refuge from invading Turks, and finally a bridge -causeway was built. Picture-perfect. If you look closely, though, you see how modern the modern buildings are. Photography is manipulative - ease out what doesn't fit the stereotype. These scenes are not just stage sets for tourists - real people live here.

After so many of these wonderful walled cities, Primosten was a quick look. Just can't do it all.

Dan Widing at Primosten, scenic view from roadside armchair

Here is the happenstance view with Primosten in the background,  from an armchair handily placed by the side of the road, at the scenic lookout point, looking back. There is the ruin of a foundation there, so this is just like a living room of sorts.

Thank you. Much enjoyed. Humor world-wide.

We also did Trogir in just a few hours, a nearby walled city on a peninsula. This is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. See whc.unesco.org/en/list/810.
Wisteria, wall at Trogir, Croatia

The age of many places is evidenced by the size of the plants - here, with wisteria, and in England, with rose bushes and rhododendron extending to second floors. In Greece, with portulacca? Is that the cascading deep pink? Who could date this ancient wisteria: how fast does one grow per year?
