Green green mountains

After the azur blue seas in Greece and the dusty roads of the 'under construction before the summer film festival' Sarajevo, the roads took me to the Olympic mountains above Sarajevo.

I was lucky enough to get $5.000 from the WB for a project called the Greening Challenge which involved 15 people from my consultative group at the WB to go to the mountains, stay at a mountain house, cooperate with the national forest association and plan some trees, post some signs, clean the rubbish on the mountains, put some garbage cans and have a lot of fun doing it.

I have always been in love with the nature and this might be the primary reason i fell in love with Bosnia and Herzegovina, it's green mountains, it's 24km blue coast line, it's wild rivers and friendly people.

I used the three days spent in the mountains to reflect, meditate and almost freeze to death because it was soooo cold.
I couldn't believe that it's June and I was wearing all of my winter clothes.

It was a memorable project and we had lots and lots of fun. I suppose that's what it's like when you are with a bunch of people you like...

Sounds like an amazing place! I too love nature and getting away from urban life for stretches of time...it really helps to keep me grounded and the "hugeness" of nature is humbling.

I've added you as a Flickr contact and I'll be checking out your shots soon!

It's so close to Greece and I 've never been there. Perhaps I should plan to.
