MONTENEGRO
A country of miracles, a treasure chest full of most wonderful treasures, as if, as the legend says, the God’s bag had really torn apart when he was giving gifts of nature and wonderful things including the mountains and other beauties fell out of it just above Montenegro.

Made by forces or not – it turned beautiful and unusual – magnificent.
