Hello! Long time lurker, first time reporter! I hope I get the formatting right - apologies in advance and will edit with direction if needed.

Was very lucky to visit this island near Dubrovnik this summer and found it had a lovely selection of buildings to explore. There are said to be a good number of medieval ruins on the island (not pictured below, as far as I know); I noticed a few buildings that are more recently derelict.

The buildings were mainly found following grassy lanes with dry stones walls, likes this:

And the first building we happened upon was an old mill, with what seemed to be a covered well with the rusty post remaining to pull the bucket up on:

Quite a nice post in the courtyard too - maybe this would date it for someone with a bit of archeology about them?

Classic chair shot (and mattresses) inside the mill building:

Some bits and pieces around:

Not sure if this is holding the remaining rafters up, part of a mechanism, or a bit of both?

A grindstone just to the back bottom left of the cross of the rafters:

A gable end of a cottage with a nice chimney close by:

Door was open

Airy bedroom:

Bed looked a bit uncomfortable

And lastly a hotel, less than 1/4 of a mile away on the seafront. I think that they might be bullet holes across the front:

Goblin in the paint-peel:

Nonchalant goblin leaning against the step in the paint-peel:

Hope that all worked! :)
