<p>Two friends pause along the waterfront of Budva's Old Town to capture another summer memory. Against the backdrop of the Adriatic Sea, this candid moment reflects the joy, spontaneity, and modern rituals of travel in one of Montenegro's most beloved coastal destinations. Photographed with the Nikon Z6 and the Viltrox AF 135mm F1.8 Lab, whose remarkable sharpness and smooth background separation beautifully isolate the subjects while preserving the atmosphere of this sunny Adriatic afternoon.</p>

<p>After seeing the unit earlier in the day in Bar I was hoping that this exceptionally tidy example of a class 412 (ER31) would return. Stood on Fortress Lesendro at Vranjina this is exactly what happened and 412-045 passed with train 6158 Bar - Podgorica in lovely evening light.</p>
