The old Mediterranean port of Kotor, is surrounded by this impressive city wall built by Republic of Venice. It has been fortified since the early Middle Ages, when Emperor Justinian built a fortress above Acruvium in AD 535. The Venetian influence remains dominant among the architectural influences.

Georg - It looks as thought this photo was taken in the rain, with the water having the sign if raindrops as well as the mist on the hill in the upper left portion of the photo. To me, the weather adds to the drama of the photo, emphasizing the massive stonework of this ancient defense wall. Well done! Thad

Amazing place, Georg! Breathtaking... Good composition and colors even under rainy weather. For 100 Iso, F4 and 1/60 shutter speed grains are more then expected. But you have nothing to do with this. Great shot my friend.

This is fabulous, Georg. The rain and the hilltop mist really add a sense of drama. Composition and colour - spot-on! And a subject of grandeur and history.
