Another piccy from the recent tour!
The famous bridge at Mostar.

A Sarajevo Rose is a concrete scar caused by a mortar shell's explosion that was later filled with red resin. Mortar rounds landing on concrete create a unique fragmentation pattern that looks almost floral in arrangement. Because Sarajevo was a site of intense urban warfare and suffered thousands of shell explosions during the Bosnian War, the marked concrete patterns are a unique feature to the city.

I believe only the shells that killed at least 3 people were coloured in.
They are a very moving sight!

However, not many are left. Most of them are gone by now. But they are still a great reminder what happened here in recent history. I survived

Jimbob where you traveling in green Mercedes Vito, GB plates? Just asking because I saw a group of people the other day?
I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to show you around DS3 style
Next time just let me know and I will be glad to show you, and who ever is with you, around
This goes for all members who decide to visit Sarajevo

Depends on the fuze setting, 'Super Quick' leaves this mark, 'Delayed' doesn't.Originally posted by idgiecat View Post

I was driving a red VW polo (yuk!) which I kind of trashed
Would have been nice to meet but it was all a bit of a last minute changing itinerary.
