One of the frustrations of being a blogger in the modern era is that the phrase 'a picture is worth a thousand words' has never been more true. Why waste time wading through all those paragraphs when a spectacular photo can produce the same effect, if not an even better impression.

A great example of this is this little gem below, uploaded to Vimeo last night, cataloguing a holiday in and around Ulcinj. Are you getting in the mood for summer?
