In The Eyes of Sarajevo

Nice work. I was down by the river 30 mins walk from home yesterday with it already raging from the rain - when the snow melts next week it'll be even more so. Water has been released from the dam to make room for it.
Sarajevo got me intrigued; it still carries the 'message' in my head of the war in the 1990s, and the horrors. Quite a contrast to the imagery of powerful Nature.

Thank you josh    
The thing that struck me about Sarajevo, when I visited last year, were the eyes of the people. Collectivity they must have the most beautiful eyes of anywhere, blue Green brown, a quite dignity, sadness and hope. I really feel you can read the history of that city in the eyes of the people.    
The nature is stunning there    
I didn’t want to talk about war but tried to include it in the choice of words for example; host,camouflage, cut through, force, empire captured    
I think I was trying to make a link between the nature telling a story of war and the cities history being told in the eyes of the people, and pay homage to the remarkable beauty of the eyes of Sarajevo

The imagery is peaceful, serene, and yet, somehow tragic. I somehow imagine their eyes as those of the Earth, saddened by human behaviour.

Thank you ahavati for the wonderful content and the RL it’s much appreciated.
I think when you look at places that are cross roads of cultures and empires you find such diversity, especially in the eye colour Afghanistan Bosnia. And of course a narrative that is probably only in the minds of painters and poets to see more than what’s on show
Thanks again 🙏😊
