Precious memories of places we visited last summer - children jumping with joy into the Drim River flowing through the town of Struga on Lake Ohrid. What a wonderful and uninterrupted fusion of water and land that little piece of our planet is.

Plitvice Lakes National Park. Very touristy but still tranquil and spiritual if you focus on water.

As a good morning to you all - a couple of snapshots of Lake Prespa shared by N. Macedonia, Greece, and Albania. I went their guided by my long term fascination and by literary inspiration. A must see if you love watery worlds in all of their complexity.

Just a motif from the upcoming photoessay arising from my current project "The river runs through it: emotions, perceptions, and memories on both sides of the Sava River" (in collaboration with colleagues from The Brodsko Posavlje Museum). More soon!

Another fantastic contribution to our @modlangopen.bsky.social special issue!

That’s Right You see

Great listening choice for rainy days. I am trying to get used to audio books and this is a wonderful start. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Pleased to share my article on significance of rivers in post-conflict environments. What does focus on rivers convey about nation-building narratives and understanding of identities? With thanks to @cambridgeuppolisci.bsky.social for support through the process! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Of course, you can already have a taste of @drmirnasolic.bsky.social 's project thanks to her article on rivers and films about migration: modernlanguagesopen.org/articles/10....

The Sava River as a triple border (interstate, EU and Schengen) and a space of complex memories, emotions, and experiences. And a fisherman enjoying a calm autumn morning, perhaps not even concerning himself with any of these issues. More is to come as part of my project on rivers and societies.

I am very much looking forward to @livingwithwater.bsky.social conversations this May and I am honoured to be part of them.
