Gulf of Kotor Although the shape of this Bay on the coastline of the Adriatic Sea makes it look like a classic Fjord, a valley where a glacier once sat that was flooded when sea levels rose…there’s something slightly different about it. Most fjords actually head out to sea and open where the glaciers reached the coastline, but the Gulf of Kotor does not.

The Gulf of Kotor is one of 4 distinct gulfs, each fed by water from the Adriatic. Water enters a gap called the Kumbor Strait and floods an area that is roughly parallel to the coast, creating two gulfs named the gulfs of Herceg Novi and Tiva. Water then flows from those gulfs through another thin gap called the Verige Strait where it floods another area containing the Gulf of Kotor and the Gulf of Risan. These areas are flooded valleys and may even briefly have had glaciers in them, but they owe their origin instead to erosion. The rocks in the area have been folded, creating highlands where the rocks have been bent upwards and lowlands where the rocks have been bent downwards. On the slope in the distance note how you can even see that specific beds run parallel to the ridge – expressing how the beds have been folded. The rocks themselves are limestones, so they also dissolve fairly easily in water, allowing cracks and caves to form in a classic pattern called Karst. This setup created a situation with ridges and valleys running roughly parallel to the coastline and thin gaps in-between the ridges. The valleys were low enough in elevation to be below modern day sea level, although when glaciers were present sea level was over 100 meters lower and these areas were far above the ocean. When the massive ice sheets melted, sea level rose again and found the cracks in-between those ridges. Water rushed in through the Kumbor Strait, flooding the first two gulfs. It then found the Verige strait as another gap that let it access yet another valley, where the water then flooded the Gulfs of Kotor and Risan. These valleys therefore look a lot like fjords but their story is different. Their origin lies in the folding of rocks and the cutting down of rivers rather than the work of massive ice tongues. Because they’re protected from the open ocean but still have access, these Gulfs have been locations of commerce and even religious pilgrimage for millennia. -JBB Image credit: SarahTZ https://flic.kr/p/oGuWUf Read more: http://www.balkanology.com/montenegro/article_kotor.html http://www.britannica.com/place/Gulf-of-Kotor http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0003/000377/037708eb.pdf http://wikitravel.org/en/Bay_of_Kotor

Pred dnevi je nekdo opazil moj star blog, Tistega o spadanju nekam, o “domu”. In od takrat se je zamenjalo še veliko občutkov, pretrgalo še nekaj vezi in predvsem ... tiste debele verige, ki sem jih tako dolgo utrjevala. Nežno sem razpela členke in obljubili smo si, da ostanejo ta vedno tam. Po dveh letih ... so zarjavele, razpadle in nekdo na drugi strani ... je nehal zares skrbeti za njih. Postavljenje so v kot, odklenjene z noge, zaprašene. Včasih jih še kdo opazi, vendar nobena kovina ne zdrži večno. Tudi kovina odnosov ne. 

Dve leti, huh? Daleč je vse skupaj, daleč mentalno, daleč ... čustveno. Nisi več ista oseba, mi tolikokrat vrže v obraz. Kje je tista Maša, ki so jo imeli radi tisti ... na drugi strani verige? Gone. In prav je tako. Stopicljanja na mestu ne maram. In zadnje dni sem se večkrat spomnila na tisti ... Veter. Ker taka sem, nikoli enaka, nikoli na mestu, spreminjajoča in nestabilna. 

Včasih me odrgnine okov še vedno bolijo. Strmim v verige okoli gležnjev in si ne pustim, da bi jih odklenila. V sanjah se (pre)pogosto vračam nazaj, v drug čas, v drug prostor. Pogrešam. Pogrešam jesen, pogrešam zimo. Pogrešam pomlad, pogrešam gore. Pogrešam gozdove. Pogrešam ... samo sebe, tisto poskakujočo škratinjo, ki je sanjala o mali alpski hišici, o nabiranju gob in debelih kovtrih v zgornjem nadstropju. Še vedno živo pred očmi vidim sliko. Ne pustim ji zbledeti, ne pustim ji, ... moji mali okovi. 

Ampak tam nekje je še vedno nekdo, ki skrbi za svojo polovico te verige. Nekdo, ki sem ga oklicala za BFF. Ker čutim, da je res tisti zadnji F. Tisto, kar ostali ... nočejo biti. Ker sem v nekem trenutku postala ... predaleč. Ker taki smo ljudje. Tam nekje je nekdo, ki ga včasih še vedno začutim kako uskladiva srčne utripe in samo sva. Na daleč, na ... daleč. In moram povedat, da je občutek ... dober.

Včasih si želim, da bi lahko čisto malo pokukala v prihodnost. Čisto malo, da vidim kaj me čaka. Da vidim kaj mi prinaša jutri. Ker zdaj ... nimam pojma. To me včasih malo straši, ta negotovost, ta globina in slaba vidljivost mojega oceana. V vsakem trenutku se lahko pojavi želva ali pa morski pes, lahko pa se v tem toku zapletem v box jellyfish. Lahko se zgodi karkoli. In jaz nimam pojma kaj bo. Niti ne več kdo bo moj buddy, kdaj bo koga odnesel tok, ker večno ... se ne morem držati za roko z ljudmi. Huh, dve leti, ha? Tako hitro gre čas ... In kdo ve koga vse mi še prinaša, kdo vse bom še postala. :)

Temple of Venus and Roman Villa, Bay of Verige, Brijuni Islands, Croatia

Off the coast of Istria, Croatia is the Brijuni archipelago, home to ruins of a Roman villa that dates from the 1st century BC and partially inhabited until the 6th century BC. In the year 177 BC, the Illyrians lost their capital of Nesactium to Rome, which brought about lots of changes to the Istrian peninsula. The Roman navy found a safe place to shelter there and wealthy Romans built many luxurious summer residences. Many of the homes were located in the bays of Verige and Dobrika, on mounts Kolci and Gradina, in St. Mikula Bay on Mali Brijun and on the east coast of Vanga.
