Inside the main gate to the medieval city of Dubrovnik is a 14th century church and monastery. A centre piece of this complex is the wonderful cloisters and courtyard. My image focuses on some the columns that surround the courtyard. I loved their architectural whimsy, in that the capitals of each of the columns was different. At a casual glance you might see them as being the same, but looking more closely they were all variations on a theme. Overall, I loved the feeling of coolness within the cloisters from the hot Sun and the semi-tropical luxuriance of the courtyard. I hope you do too!
