The moon is reflected in the sea in the town of Neum
The moon is reflected in the sea in the town of Neum August 27, 2012. From July, tourists and truckers will have to cross the external borders of the EU to go from one part of Croatia to another, negotiating long, costly queues and strict customs checks twice within the space of 20 km. Croatia is hoping the EU will pay for a bridge, bypassing Neum and unifying the country. Picture taken August 27, 2012.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the moon reflecting in the sea, creating a mesmerizing scene in the town of Neum. Taken on August 27,2012, this image not only showcases nature's wonders but also highlights an important political issue. In July of that year, tourists and truckers traveling from one part of Croatia to another had to face arduous challenges due to new regulations imposed by the European Union (EU). These restrictions forced them to cross external EU borders twice within just a short distance of 20 km, enduring long queues and strict customs checks. Croatia sought a solution for this inconvenience by proposing the construction of a bridge that would bypass Neum and unify their country. They hoped that the EU would provide financial support for this project. This photograph serves as a visual reminder of both Croatia's natural splendor and its aspirations for progress and unity. Taken by photographer Marko Djurica for Reuters Images, this picture encapsulates not only breathtaking scenery but also tells a story about politics and city life. It symbolizes Croatia's desire to overcome obstacles while preserving its picturesque landscapes—a testament to humanity's constant pursuit of harmonious coexistence with nature amidst societal challenges.
