Awesome pictures as always and a cool idea to transform them into postcards! Impossible to pick just one favorite!
thanks Kieron. We had so many photos and tried to think of a unique way to do a photo essay on a country.
Your photography always amazes me guys. Stunning photos.
If you had to choose one of the places or pictures as your favourite what would it be? I’d like to go to Croatia but it’s only be a very short hop on my way home to Australia. 🙂
Nicole recently posted..Wanting to Visit Japan thanks to… a Snowboarding Magazine?
Thanks Nicole, One of my favorite photos is the top one from Dubrovnik which Dalene took. Love the composition of the building and the mountain in the background. In terms of favorite places, Zagreb and Plitvice Lakes were mine.
Let us know if you have any questions if you decide to make a stop in Croatia. 🙂
Wow…you kids are turning into some serious photographers! Thanks for sharing…what a gorgeous place!
we’ve had to step up our game to compete with some serious photographers out there. Thanks Brian, we’re learning lots along the way and Croatia certainly is a great place to do it 🙂
Beautiful work guys! You make me want to visit Croatia even more 🙂
Alison recently posted..Our Top Christmas Markets in Belgium and Germany
Thanks Alison. If you go during winter months there is hardly a tourist there, but we heard summer months is insane for people. We traded up the +40 weather for tranquility 😉
If only there were some way to make a living creating postcards!
I agree, most the pictures we see on other travel blog sites kick the images in the actual postcards ass
OMG these are SO GOOD. SO GOOOOOOOD.
Erica recently posted..Photo Essay: Cartagena, Colombia
Thanks Erica, we love your photography so that means a lot coming from you 🙂
I truly believe Croatia is one of the most photo-worthy destinations I have ever been to. I have hundreds of images from the country, and they all could be post cards! Great post.
Agreed, it was difficult to narrow down to 20. Cheers!
Great Photos. I was in Croatia this summer and loved it. I never made it to Pula though. I thought the coolest part of Split was how half the city is in the palace.
Split was indeed interesting especially how people’s flats would actually be in the ancient walls. Thanks!
Ooh…lovely. I especially like that last one.
Thanks Abi, it was one of faves too 🙂
Oh my you guys..those are amazing photos. It makes me sad to think you’re not there anymore, to take more.
Thanks Mom 🙂 we miss it too, but there have so many new places that we have opportunity to make use of our camera 😉
The Dubrovnik, steps down to the sea, shot is just amazing. You kids seem to continue the fun at will. Look forward to hearing more in due course.
Besos as ever.
N and M.

Very kind words Nick. I’m sure you will hear from us very soon 😉 How’s the planning for our cycle tour coming along?
Besos a sus tambien,
P&D xx
Great postcards! Could you also write some messages on the back for my family? 🙂
Thanks Turtle, I have to now design a back 😉
Wow – those are AWESOME! They look good enough to be on a postcard. (ha ha). 🙂
Teri recently posted..Wanted: a Source of Renewable (Creative) Energy
Thanks Ter! We think they look better than the postcards that were in the shops. Well some of them at least 😉
I love these, what a cool idea.
Lisa recently posted..$10 Does a World of Good
Oooh these are great! Croatia is very high on my list and these pictures are why.
Debbie – European Travelista recently posted..My Travel ABC’s
I never expected it to be so photogenic. We had a very tough time choosing these. Thanks for the comment Debbie 🙂
Beautiful, looks like a definite must.
Croatia is a beautiful part of the world isn’t it? Your photos have reminded me that we’d like to return (it has been 11 years since we were there).
Erin recently posted..Photo of the Week: An Accidental Visit To A Thai Wat
It truly is. We never were expecting it to be, and it made it all the more special. We have already started planning our return trip.
Great postcards! Looks like postcards I would buy! Keep it up! I want to see more please!! 🙂
Thanks Jeff, humbled coming from you. We hope to have some albums set up soon when we get settled in January and have some time. 🙂
Beautiful photos! I’d be glad to get a postcard from any of these places.
Thsnks Emily, if you have a permanent address we can try and send you one 😉
Gooooood job Pete! Thanks for promoting my beautiful homeland.
EatDalmatia recently posted..Restaurant Bonaca – Skradin
Thanks to your beautiful homeland for being such a gracious (and gorgeous!) host! 🙂
Holy crap! You really need to make these into postcards!!
Phil recently posted..You Bring the Yam, I’ll Bring the Fire
Haha! I think we just did? 🙂
Beautiful postcards, much prettier than the ones one buys. The little boat at Cavtat is my favourite.
Sophie recently posted..Travel Bloggers Give Back
That is in my top three too, the lighting was so great at that time.
I would buy this set of postcards at the airport on my way home 🙂
Stephanie – The Travel Chica recently posted..An Evening of Luxury in Buenos Aires
Thanks Stephanie. I wish we (and other bloggers) could market our photos for postcards. Most of the time I am disappointed with the images they actually use.
Awesome photos as usual, guys! And fun idea turning them into postcards!
Amanda recently posted..Your Input Needed! – Help Shape the Future of A Dangerous Business
Loved these! Beautiful shots!
Angie Orth recently posted..Travel Tuesday – Ubud, Bali, Indonesia
You were right. These pictures are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Tricia recently posted..Is This Thing On?
Thanks so much Tricia!
These are gorgeous! Maybe you have a calling in a second business – postcard making!
JoAnna recently posted..Images: South Rim of the Grand Canyon in Winter
haha, thank you. I wish we knew a postcard company we could send a tweet to 😉
WHOA! First of all, I never would have guessed that Croatia was so stunning. And your photos are breathtakingly amazing. Jaw hitting floor. xo
Thanks Joanie! Croatia is pretty amazing, even beyond the gorgeous coastline that most people just head straight for. Much to see there! xo
Croatia is a place I have always really wanted to go to in Europe. Fab idea to make your pics into postcards I really like that! I like the postcard of the castle by the seacliff in Dubrovnik. Is it a castle?
Thanks Ross! I *think* it is a castle but I’m not entirely sure as we didn’t make it up there in our short few days in Dubrovnik,
It looks awesome! I want to visit it now!
aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh IWANTTOGOTHERERIGHTNOW!
beautiful photos 🙂
cailin recently posted..Wales was a pleasant surprise
Thanks CJ! Add it to your list!
These are great! You’ve outdone yourself 😉
Great photos!
Hey very pretty! I love the postcard format and the photos are just spectacular.
Natasha @ Wandering Kiwi recently posted..Love in a cold climate: Europe in Winter
Thanks Natasha!
Definitely post-card worthy! 🙂
Nomadic Samuel recently posted..India Is | Video Competition
Great photos. I love your use of angle on the last photo of Split, Croatia.
These all bring back memories from my time in these parts
Sam recently posted..10 Essential Travel Items You Can’t Travel Without!
These. Are. STUNNING.
I can’t even pick a favorite! I love the postcard idea, and the fonts you chose are perfect – they really do look like postcards. New business idea? 😛
Thanks Christy. I swear picking the fonts was one of the most difficult parts of making these 🙂 Based on the comments, I need to find the twitter handle of a postcard company.
Gorgeous!! I need to learn how to get out of auto on my camera! ACK
Thanks Jade. Yes definitely get off the auto 🙂
Have you checked out Beers and Beans e-book? http://beersandbeans.com/getting-out-of-auto-ebook/ We have heard nothing but amazing reviews.
I actually bought that e book! Now – to crack it open!! And then the hardest part – practice what I have read about! And somehow I have the fit that into working on the website (full time job), looking for a full time job (full time job), and my actual job (part time job) ahhh I need longer days and a home espresso maker!
Stunning photos guys! I had forgotten how picturesque Croatia is. Love the postcard idea too.
Cherina recently posted..Arctic Dreams: The Polar Bears of Churchill. PART II
Thanks Cherina. Humbled coming from you as I love your photography.
What a fantastic set of shots and I also think you’ve done a great job turning them into postcards. I love the market scene in Zagreb.
Leigh recently posted..Discovering Calgary: Authentic Persian Pastries at Orchid
Thanks Leigh, that market was so much fun. The people and aimlessly wandering around. Keep your eye out for our postcard series coming up from Italy in a couple weeks!
Love the postcard frames. Love Croatia and great shots.
Andrew recently posted..Imker – Maker Of Things From Bees
Thanks Andrew. Stay tuned for our postcard series from Italy coming up in the next few weeks 🙂
I *love* these photos!!
Thanks Ali! It was difficult to choose the select few that made it to our collection.
OMFG! Croatia has just made it up to the top of the destination list after this photo essay! Holy crap!
Hogga recently posted..Seville and the World’s Fair
Really cool! I’ve been to Croatia 3 times already but I see I should go again 🙂 never been to Plitvice lakes yet!
crazy sexy fun traveler recently posted..2P 259 FLIGHT FROM CEBU TO CATICLAN – BORACAY WITH AIR PHIL EXPRESS
I love every single one of these! What a great idea guys.
Thanks Laura!! Stay tuned for our collection from Italy due in a few weeks 🙂
Beautiful photos. They should be real postcards for sale in stores. Croatia looks amazing
Mary @ Green Global Travel recently posted..Green Global Travel’s Top 20 Wildlife Photos of 2011
Thanks so much Mary! Croatia is amazing, can’t wait to go back someday.
Neat idea! I think you may have stumbled across an income stream 😉
James Shannon recently posted..Journeying Home To Canada From Southeast Asia OR How To Travel Back In Time Without Breaking The Laws Of Physics!
Ahhh…if only we could make a living off of that!
These pictures are amazing. Split is my favorite and I wanna go there right now! You should definitely make these into postcards. I’d buy it!
Great photos! I never think of Croatia and palm trees together.
These shots are stunning! Makes me want to! Did you travel there on a budget?
Well, we are always on a budget (sort of). We didn’t splurge for sure, and Croatia (except Dubrovnik) is cheaper then the rest of Europe.
Wow, these are simply amazing! I bet you could even sell them to the Croatian tourist board and have them make actual postcards out of your photos 🙂
Next time I’m in Croatia, I will definitely check out Dubrovnik and Split – they look gorgeous!
