Stari Most (Old Bridge) in the city of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is the bridge that crosses the river Neretva and connects the two parts of the city. Destroyed during the war in 1993, the bridge was rebuilt in 2004 under the aegide of UNESCO and is now listed as a World Heritage Site.
On summer days, you can see crowds of tourists gathering around the bridge waiting for what is a tradition for the young men of the town : leaping from the bridge into the Neretva. An impressive feat as the bridge is 24m high!
Pomegranates are the symbol of Mostar. The fruit illustrates numerous copper or bronze carvings sold around the Old Bridge. The photo was taken from a hill overlooking the city where an abandoned house was overtaken by nature.
