Oko Skakavice (Grasshopper’s Eye) is one of the most magical places I've visited so far. You walk upstream a small river and all of a sudden you end up at a crystal clear turquoise pool from which all the water flows. The place has something very pristine and primordial, that 8 meters deep and absolutely clear turquoise water pool, surrounded by rocks and a wild forest, and this all in an spectacular alpine valley. I struggle with words so I take pictures...

Your shots are very beautiful, friend.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

8 meters deep and crystal clear - well, if someone drowns there, they would be easy to find (joking, but comparing with some places I know, you get into the water to your knees, and you can't even see your ankles).
This is really extraordinary.
