The end of Indian summer in Žabljak, Durmitor

            Крај Михољског лета на Жабљаку. Кафе-ресторан Ор'о.

On Wednesday, October 30th 2019 an unprecedented period of fine autumnal weather ended on Balkans. It had a special charm around Žabljak, the town closest to the upper regions of mount Durmitor. At an elevation of 1450 m Žabljak is quite used to severe weather as soon as the summer is gone. But this Indian summer saw a considerably prolonged tourist season. For locals too it meant: attending cafe terraces, sporting T-shirts in daytime, for the guests: leisure activities like zip-line, rafting, hiking etc. All this has been feasible on a date which usually sees the first pack of snow or very cold rains. The record-breaking weather however reached the highest temperature in last 60 years for an incredible row of 7 memorable days. And the average of 18.1°C, with barely any wind !
Knowing this was coming to an end, I decided to pay my probably last visit this year to the terrace of Or'o, perhaps the fanciest cafe in town, and my favorite. My standard order there is espresso lungo with brown sugar, which they serve along with an elegant glass of excellent tap water. Wednesday morning, 11 a.m, weather going still fine but the terrace is almost void of  tables and guests. The harsh light of the former days is gone too, followed now by a hue sifting distinct soft tone over everything. This created a special mood for a couple of hours. 
The whole place was immersed in fog the following day.

Panasonic GM1's own G Vario 12-32 mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens at the widest angle, stopped down to f/5.6.

Out-of-the-camera jpeg slightly adjusted in irfanView. Alas, as this fixed the colors it removed the distinct hue too...
