In the old coastal town of Senj, you can still find places where time seems to stand still. This white arch with its weathered stones and pile of firewood tells the story of simplicity and authenticity. No tourist crowds, but a hushed corner where you can feel the soul of Croatia.
What struck me was precisely the balance between rough and soft: the robustness of the stone arch, the warm orange of the wood and the subtle pastel shades of the houses behind it. Together, they form an image that exudes calmness and charm. The light post-processing enhances the soft colours even more and this work fits beautifully in a modern, Scandinavian or Mediterranean interior.
This image brings in the serene atmosphere of the Croatian coast. It brings to mind holidays, simplicity and a slower pace of life. For anyone longing for stillness and warmth in their home, this is a print that brings peace while adding a touch of character.

I am Elma Maaskant and a nature and color lover.
Macro photography and landscape photography are my greatest passions.
In addition,  I find it valid to see how the psychology of colors works.
Every time again I am surprised..
