Rijeka Crnojevića Region, Montenegro

The Rijeka Crnojevića and Lake Skadar region of Montenegro is an area of rugged beauty, churches surrounded by above ground graves, stone houses, arched bridges, and bee hives.

During a hike, the frantic howls of hunting dogs forced a Red deer to dash across the road just behind us. The deer crossed a creek and leapt up a 3 meter bank. The deer's antlers got entangled in the branches and it struggled for a short time before it finally forced its way deep into the forest.
