Love Thursday: Lovers’ Island
Thanks to faithful reader, Gil, here is a spectacular photo of Galesnjak, what has been dubbed “Lovers’ Island” off the coast of Croatia:
Its amazing heart shape was discovered by viewers of Google Earth; even owner Vlado Juresko hadn’t realized before that his uninhabited island was such a perfect heart until people started requesting to stay there.
Update: Apparently since I wrote this post in 2009, some deforestation has been going on. Only click on this link if you want to have a sad.

When I went to Croatia 12 years ago and visited the Dalmatian Coast, I thought of how it would be the perfect place for a honeymoon — so beautiful the Mediterranean and the sky, fantastic food, and even interesting history and architecture . . .although I didn’t end up going there for MY honeymoon (it was Bella Italia for us of course!).

Yeah apparently it doesn’t even *really* have a name…Lovers’ Island seems just as good as any, no? 😉
I love to ‘home’ in on our house and that of my parents in Australia too.
Stunning island!

Especially fun for those of us far from home, isn’t it?
Such a great shot! My husband likes to get on Google Earth and check out our parents’ hometowns in Italy and see our own neighborhood here in the Philadelphia Suburbs. It’s pretty incredible how detailed it can be though!
Happy Love Thursday!
