About the Photographer
Retired pro, but a lifelong amateur at heart. Also a diver with decades of experience, and still addicted to underwater photography. I never go to water without a camera, to be able to record the beauties of the submerged Nature. Which, as you well know, covers the largest part of the Earth.
I will enjoy what our wonderful Earth offers to our eyes and mind for as long as I can.
The cactus-like plant often found on old rooftiles, surviving on minimal windblown soil and dust there. The Croatian name is Cuvarkuca, (pron. chuwar-koocha), which means "house guardian". The presence of the plant is/was believed to "bring luck" to the house it guards... Photo by:
