This image was photographed at the waterfront in the OLD TOWN of DUBROVNIK/CROATIA Judged by Tuck Leong at Melbourne Camera Club/open EDI/Highly Commended Death in Dubrovnik…............ well WHAT did happen to…..........BRITT LAPTHORNE this title has to do with the complexities of a missing girl…..... For those who live outside Australia you maybe interested to know that BRITT LAPTHORNE/ 21-year-old Melbourne woman went missing from a nightclub in the Croatian town of Dubrovnik on September 18. Her body was found many days later washed up near rocks not far from the city centre. Last year I was fortunate enough to visit this wonderful city of DUBROVNIK…...........I felt I had found paradise and had been told this was a most magical place to take photographs. And yes/ I had found paradise and started to wonder about the war here in ‘91 /Death in Dubrovnik…...and then I started to think about this beautiful young woman taken tragically away from her family. I walked the streets of the Old City and surrounds for nearly a week.The more I thought about her the more I wanted to find out about her and so sat in a local internet cafe and tried to read as much as possible about her. So this only made me think more about this young woman and how her family must have felt at the time .So then as I walked the streets every crack in the old walls /every crack in the pavement I photographed /I asked myself did she walk this way….........did she see the beauty I was seeing….... / This image was taken in Dubrovnok and is of the Fuego Latino Club where BRITT LAPTHORNE visited the night she died……..........well some locals say she did visit the club and some say she didn’t! These images were taken from a 4th fl. balcony overlooking the nightclub. I watched for about 15 minutes. It would be impossible for this young woman’s exit from the nightclub to go undetected by the camera. I wonder why Britt’s parents could not see their daughter exit the club when they watched the film footage from that night…...... / this image was taken at the small port in the OLD TOWN of Dubrovnik/this image is not meant to offend but something did happen to this young woman…...... .............sometimes we don’t know what we’re looking for….......this image was taken at a hotel on the outskirts of Dubrovnik.The puzzle and anguish of this mystery can be too much for a family to experience…......... I’m going to tell you what’s on my mind! / looking for answers

HERALD SUN/23rd Feb/’09 Did it take 6 SIX days for investigators to tell Dale and Elke that their daughter was missing…......Wasted time…...precious evidence lost/added suffering! / Yes/there was a delay in Dubrovnik…...the delay in Dubrovnik most concerning. Yes/also a delay with the Australian Government agencies…...so it is said! The parents of Britt Lapthorne want changes to privacy laws . Senator Fielding wants to change this…..... BRITT’S BILL would change the legislation and make it possible for families to be contacted as soon as a loved one vanishes overseas. PLEASE go to the PETITION online and help make this legislation take place www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au For those who live outside Australia you maybe interested to know that BRITT LAPTHORNE/ 21-year-old Melbourne woman went missing from a nightclub in the Croatian town of Dubrovnik on September 18.

It is still a crIme scene! The ocean is a crime scene. These parents only want answers. Is this not a parent’s RIGHT!! They will not rest until they have answers! Only answers will bring peace of mind and help others to avoid such REDTAPE in the future. If the waters of DUBROVNIK are too cold maybe they could spend the time chatting casually to the wonderful locals. Less expensive and probably more informative and their english very good!

This photo captures my friend Simona before she was joined by her now husband on a walk home across the river Kolpa after being married earlier that day. The river Kolpa splits the border between Slovenia and Croatia and their home can be seen in the distance on the Croatian side. The couple wanted to do this romantic stroll home at 6:30am to mark the end of a very eventful day as they said goobye to their friends on the Slovenian side. I cannot express how beautiful this was. I hope you appreciate this shot. IMAGE BEST VIEWED LARGE Nikon D60 = f/5.6, 1/125 sec, ISO-200, FL = 18mm Please check out my other related shots:

“Whosoever claims Lokrum for his own personal pleasure shall be damned!” Such was the chant of the expelled Benedictine monks as they wove their final ritual on the island during the 18th century before being driven away from their island monastery originally founded in 1023. Indeed, legend has it that a number of those who went on to try and procure personal profit came to an awful and deadly fate. Further legend surrounds the story of Richard Lionheart becoming shipwrecked when returning from Palestina in the vicinity of Lokrum in 1192, and vowing to build a church at the site of the first ground upon which he set afoot. This was Lokrum. The island was eventually sold to the local government of the time in 1919 for humantitarian use, and so the curse was thankfully released. / / The photo shows the island as viewed from a doorway along the fortress Walls of Dubrovnik Old Town, which is listed since 1979 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lokrum Island is one of Croatia’s National Parks. / I am delighted to have won the recent Showing A Date Challenge at the Historic Landmarks of Europe group.

An early Summer’s morning on the main promenade in the Old Town of Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik Old Town, has been listed since 1979 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The image was taken just at the Southern end of Stradun looking North. On the right you can see the ornate Renaissance columns and archways of the Sponza Palace, while opposite on the left you get a partial view of the Baroque St.Blaise’s church under repairs behind scaffholding. There are two people standing at the flagpole off-centre, which is actually Orlando’s column. It is Summer, so the Libertas red and white festival flag is hoisted, otherwise the Croatain flag is in its place. Stradun extends forward lined by the rows of houses, boutiques and restaurants. Tourists are hauling their wheeled luggage down the street(the Old Town is exclusively pedestrian only). In the distance is the 1424 church spire of the famous Fransiscan monastery and which houses one of Europe’s first apothecaries founded in 1397. / MANY THANKS FOR THE FEATURES: /

FEATURED HISTORIC PLACES SEPT 2009 / FEATURED WORLD CRUISE SHIPS OCT 2009 / September Song (words by Maxwell Anderson/ music Kurt Weil) / When you meet with the young men in early Spring / You court them in song and rhyme / They answer with words and a clover ring / But if you examine the goods they bring / They have little to offer but the songs they sing / And the plentiful waste of time. Oh, it’s a long, long while from May to December / But the days grow short when you reach September / When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame / One hasn’t got time for the waiting game. Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few / September, November / And these few precious days I’ll spend with you / These precious days I’ll spend with you. Many many wonderful versions exist of this wistful old standard that to me seemed appropriate for this shot. My particular favorites are by Art Pepper(instrumental), and Patricia Kaas. / Pictured is Dubrovnik Old Town which has been listed by UNESCO since 1979 as a World Heritage site.

The Green Bell-Ringers of Old Town Dubrovnik strike the hour, and again at five past the hour, to hurry along dawdlers like me. The clocktower pictured in the left foreground was first erected in Dubrovnik at Luza Square in 1444, and later came to house the Green Bell with its Green Men, and so it is also referred to as the Bell-Tower. Standing 31 meters tall, it was erected as a symbol of the city’s independence, along with the Column of Orlando and Minceta Fortress. (Not pictured here) The ringers are fondly referred to as the “Zelenci” (trans.”Green Men”) The original bell suffered irreparable damage in the 1667 earthquake, being replaced at various times, but in 1929 was been rebuilt according to original drawings. In the centre and right is the cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, which was re-built in the 1700’s, the earlier 12th-14th century Romanesque structure having been devastated in the 1667 earthquake, which is said to have been originally built using a votive gift from Richard the Lionheart who had survived a shipwreck in the area in 1192, returning home from his crusades. Restoration work in 1981 however uncovered evidence of an earlier cathedral dating from the 7th century, which has now put under question previous theories and suggests a well-established urban centre at this point. Dubrovnik Old Town has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1979. / (Best viewed large)

FEATURED OCT 2009 JAZZED UP ART / FEATURED OCT 2009 HISTORIC PLACES / / Blue was just the color of the sea / till my lover left me. / Blue was just a bluebird in a tree / Till she said forget me. / Blue always made me think of Summer / Cloudless Summer skies so fresh and warm. / But now the blue I see is more like Winter / Winter skies with clouds about to storm. / Blue was just the color of the sky / Till she said good-bye love. / And blue was just a ribbon for first prize / Till she said don’t cry love. / Blues were only torch songs / fashioned for impulsive ingenues. / But now I know / Too well I know / Too well I know / The meaning of the blues. Composer: Bobby Troup ( Below is a Youtube video of Keith Jarrett’s amazing rendition of this jazz standard. / / I am looking forward to visiting Dubrovnik again soon, this time for the Winter. The shots above and below were both taken in November 2008, and are among my favorites of the visit. I love the lonely deserted narrow streets, and the play of light and shadow across the walls and lamps. It was quite a beautiful moment I shared with Mick and his sister. We had been walking the Old Town, and feeling quite relaxed, and came upon a cute store selling cool hats- we had spent some time in there looking at the pork-pies, the shubaras, and dozens of other nostalgic designs, and had emerged onto the street laughing, and as our carefree laughter bounced softly across the lonely walls, standing in the doorway of the hat shop, I looked and saw the beauty in this scene, that I share with you now. Every season has its beauty, and every mood. I am interested which you might prefer, the top image or this one below, and whether I should upload this one below as well if people like these. / Nikon D70s / Nikon 30-200mm lens / f/5 / 1/60 sec / focal length 46mm / handheld/no flash / Editted PS, Photomatix. / Uncropped
