Skywatch Friday - Prizren, Kosovo


Stepping outside Scotland this week for a sunset over the town of Prizren, in the south of Kosovo.  The shot above was taken from the shell of the castle overlooking the town.

 Below, a shot taken in the moment after the sun had dipped below the mountain ridge.  I have never seen a faster-setting sun, leaving me to wonder if the sun is slower in Scotland.  Perhaps it's the cold with us that does it.  

 Prizren is a town of mosques and churches - notice the minaret of the mosque on the left, and the church belfrey on the right.
  

I was in Kosovo recently on a work trip - some more photos to come shortly in a brief deviation from things Scottish.

More skies from around the world are at Skywatch Friday.

    Wow. I went to Yugoslavia as a child, back when that was still a place, and have often thought I should go back to that part of the world.

    A belated Wow to your photos from me too. I'm very interested to hear what your impressions were. My heart just aches when I hear the word "Kosovo" because of the war there. I hope things have moved on and begun to heal.
