Sunset in Novigrad

It was evening. The sun had not set yet, but we decided to take a little ride to the other side, of the sea, that is. The town directly opposite Maslenica is Novigrad and that's where we headed. The weather was comfortable and we found a parking spot by the water. The town is situated between two mountains. On one side are beautiful woods and on the other side and right above the town are the remains of an old castle. We took a walk to about half of the town when the sun came down and dipped into the sea, casting the water, boats and buildings in shades of gold. It was a perfect night. We stopped to refresh ourselves with a cold drink and then we were on our way back. 

 

Shallow Water

 This time we drove to the other side of the Novigrad Sea and found a beach, Sv. Duh, and it was very different. It was a sandy beach and super shallow for a long ways. We had to walk quite a bit just to get to knee high water. There were families of swans living by the side edge of the water; beautiful to see them in their own environment but they were too far for any pictures. The shells I found here were on grass under a tree. Someone must have left them there because they had quite a sea smell to them. I did pick up a few and left them outside in the garden. There was also the tiniest little chapel I've ever seen. There was a path to it but again it was too far to get there and I think it belongs to the town of Posedarje.
