Rastoke
At the convergence of the Slunjčica and Korana rivers lies the sleepy village of Rastoke, known for the still-functioning grain mills dating back to the 18th century. You can still buy a hearty loaf of traditional corn bread at one of the mills.
The village of Rastoke is part of the municipality of Slunj in the Lika region, where some of the heaviest fighting of the Homeland War took place in the early 1990’s. Slowly but surely the area is recovering from devastation, and tourism is on the rise. Rastoke is now so peaceful and idyllic that you’d never believe any fighting took place here.

I've already posted on TL a photo from this lovely village.
Since I still don't know how to make links, you are invited to browse my gallery and see the other one.

Wow!! I love his shot it's so vibrant and the water looks refreshing, it looks like it could be a scene from a fairytale. The first thing that I noticed was the red roof on the mill which led me to the little window, I wonder what it looks like inside :-)

It looks like a painting, Tsilla. IMO colours are a bit "overdone", saturation is very high here.
Compo-wise, I really like it. The power of the water is clearly shown, though a bit overexposed - nothing could have been done to prevent that, I guess, the lighting conditions were hard for the lightmeter...
