EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, we see a man gracefully rowing his boat near a tiny house perched on a rock in the middle of the majestic river Drina. Located near the western Serbian town of Bajina Basta, approximately 160km away from Belgrade, this unique dwelling has become an iconic symbol of human ingenuity and connection with nature. Built in 1968 by a group of adventurous young men who recognized the rock as an ideal spot for shelter, this house stands as a testament to their daring spirit and love for exploration. The co-owner, who was personally involved in its construction, proudly shares that it was their collective vision that brought this extraordinary abode into existence. As we gaze at this remarkable sight captured by photographer Marko Djurica, we are reminded of humanity's ability to adapt and find solace even in seemingly inhospitable environments. This image speaks volumes about our innate desire to seek refuge amidst nature's beauty and tranquility. The juxtaposition between the ruggedness of the rocky foundation and the delicate structure atop it is truly awe-inspiring. It serves as a reminder that sometimes all we need is a little courage to create something extraordinary out of ordinary elements. This photograph invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nature and how it can inspire us to push boundaries while harmoniously coexisting with our surroundings. It reminds us that even in remote corners of the world like this one on the river Drina, human creativity knows no bounds.
