Samobor is a little town 12 miles west of Zagreb. Its 13th century rural charms have always drawn visitors from the big city. A shallow trout stream winds its way through the town center, dominated by the vividly painted St. Michaels Church. With its yellow walls and red roofs, the keepers of this church are carrying on a Samobor tradition that goes back centuries. Yellow and red are both primary colors, and in this image, the early morning sun intensifies them, creating a warm and inviting feeling. I exposed the image to surround the church with large dark areas, which further emphasizes the warmth of its yellow walls. It’s the color that does the speaking here.
