I Explored The Colorful Waterfalls Of Plitvice Lakes In Croatia, And Here Are My 28 Pictures From There

In the beginning, I mainly photographed the city of Budapest. I had traveled before, but I didn't see the world through those eyes. As a photographer, everything is completely different, and much more colorful.

I always post-process my photos in a way that reflects what I saw with my eyes there. I try to make the pictures look natural. Already in my first year as a photographer, I received a lot of positive feedback, which gave me a lot of energy. During a previous trip to Plitvice, which I also published my photos of here on Bored Panda, my photos were published in many foreign magazines. That was a very big boost for me.

Every year I try to travel to as many places as possible. This year I would also like to go to Iceland and overseas. America and Indonesia are at the top of my bucket list. I have a group of photographer friends and we go on these photo tours together.

More about this place in particular: the total area of the National Park is 113.9 square miles, and the surface area of the lakes is 0.77 square miles. There are sixteen lakes positioned in a north-south direction, stretching out in a garland shape, situated in the Kapela Mountains. Over millions of years, the Korana Creek has carved a deep valley into the southern, limestone areas of the mountain, strongly characterized by karst processes.

The formation of the Plitvice Lakes was also the result of these transformations. The limestone creates dykes, sills, and other structures in the karst rivers and streams (contrary to typical hot water formations, limestone tufa precipitates out of cold water here). The lakes’ extreme blue color is the result of this karst occurrence. The limestone formation is a continuous process by which various waterfalls are formed. Over time, the water changes its bed, leaving its former direction dry, and in turn raising new formations elsewhere. We could say, Plitvice is never the same as before.

I've realized that the greatest joy comes from the experiences. Photography and travel are the best experiences. If you can, travel as much as you can, because these experiences are the most precious in life!
