Photo of the Day: Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina
This stone sits down one of the main streets in Mostar, a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina that was completely flattened in the Balkan War back in the ’90s.

Photo of the Day: Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

And the Bosnia and Herzegovinan capital could not have been more different from the rest. It has a chic and metropolitan … Continue reading
