Description
A 21 st Century Photograph of the old, backstreets of Rovinj, Croatia. Streets are marble polished by hundreds of years of shoe leather.
Rovinj-Rovigno is a city in Croatia situated on the north Adriatic Sea with a population of 14,294 (2011). Located on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula, it is a popular tourist resort and an active fishing port. Istriot, a Romance language once widely spoken in this part of Istria, is still spoken by some of the residents. The town is officially bilingual, Italian and Croatian, hence both town names are official and equal.
The main economic activity in Rovinj/Rovigno is tourism and during peak season (May–September), its bars, restaurants and art galleries work long hours, while operating limited hours off-season.
The busiest area is the very centre of Rovinj/Rovigno, extending from the main bus station towards the old part of town, where most bars and clubs are located.
The town's main central thoroughfare is the fully pedestrian Carrera Street, with many independent shops and art galleries. A farmer's market is located at the edge of the historic part of town, near Valdibora Square.

Thanks for submitting this to Top Travel Pics. Nice pic but I think a tighter crop would work better; below the clouds, and away with the bins on the left.
Norman Gabitzsch replied:
Thank you, "Top Travel Pics" for your suggestion. I never really paid any attention to the bins. Just doing a fast "screen crop" with two white pieces of paper, I see how your suggestion focuses in on the story I am trying to convey in the image. So I will sacrifice some of the curved stone work, and the clouds (which don't add to the story) and the street bins and see how it looks.
