    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.

  • December 5 2011

    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. πŸ™‚

      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. πŸ™‚

  • December 5 2011

    Wow…you kids are turning into some serious photographers! Thanks for sharing…what a gorgeous place!

      December 6 2011

      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 πŸ™‚

  • December 5 2011

    Beautiful work guys! You make me want to visit Croatia even more πŸ™‚

      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 πŸ˜‰

  • December 5 2011

    If only there were some way to make a living creating postcards!

      December 6 2011

      I agree, most the pictures we see on other travel blog sites kick the images in the actual postcards ass

  • December 5 2011

    OMG these are SO GOOD. SO GOOOOOOOD.

      Thanks Erica, we love your photography so that means a lot coming from you πŸ™‚

  • December 5 2011

    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.

    • Pete
      December 6 2011

      Agreed, it was difficult to narrow down to 20. Cheers!

  • December 5 2011

    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.

    • Pete
      December 6 2011

      Split was indeed interesting especially how people’s flats would actually be in the ancient walls. Thanks!

  • Abi
    December 5 2011

    Ooh…lovely. I especially like that last one.

    • Pete
      December 6 2011

      Thanks Abi, it was one of faves too πŸ™‚

  • Mom
    December 5 2011

    Oh my you guys..those are amazing photos. It makes me sad to think you’re not there anymore, to take more.

    • Pete
      December 6 2011

      Thanks Mom πŸ™‚ we miss it too, but there have so many new places that we have opportunity to make use of our camera πŸ˜‰

  • Nick
    December 5 2011

    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.

      December 6 2011

      Thanks Turtle, I have to now design a back πŸ˜‰

  • December 5 2011

    Wow – those are AWESOME! They look good enough to be on a postcard. (ha ha). πŸ™‚

    Beautiful, looks like a definite must.

  • December 6 2011

    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).

      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.

      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.

  • December 6 2011

    Awesome photos as usual, guys! And fun idea turning them into postcards!

    WHOA! First of all, I never would have guessed that Croatia was so stunning. And your photos are breathtakingly amazing. Jaw hitting floor. xo

    • December 7 2011

      Thanks Joanie! Croatia is pretty amazing, even beyond the gorgeous coastline that most people just head straight for. Much to see there! xo

  • Ross
    December 6 2011

    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?

    • December 7 2011

      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,

      • Ross
        December 8 2011

        It looks awesome! I want to visit it now!

    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? πŸ˜›

    • Pete
      December 9 2011

      Thanks Christy. I swear picking the fonts was one of the most difficult parts of making these πŸ™‚ 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

    • Pete
      December 9 2011

      Thanks Jade. Yes definitely get off the auto πŸ™‚

      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!

  • December 9 2011

    Stunning photos guys! I had forgotten how picturesque Croatia is. Love the postcard idea too.

    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!

  • March 15 2012

    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?

    • June 28 2012

      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.

  • November 23 2012

    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 πŸ™‚
    Next time I’m in Croatia, I will definitely check out Dubrovnik and Split – they look gorgeous!
