April 30, 2020 - Celebrated photographer and timelapse master Mario Romulic combines his unique skill set so showcase his wonderful organic farm at OPG Romulic in Baranja.
One of my favourite people in Croatia is Mario Romulic, the hairy half of the Osijek Maestros, better known as the photographer and timelapse geniuses, Romulic and Stojcic.
Here is an example of their timelapse work, Krka National Park by night.
I have known Mario for about 9 years, ever since he kindly helped me out with some photos for my Hvar guidebook all those years ago, and we have been firm friends since. He has also been a big supporter of TCN with his photography, which always make my articles look 10 times more interesting. But Mario has another passion apart from photography.
OPG Romulic.
Just a few minutes drive north of Osijek and about 1 kilometre from Kopacki Rit Nature Park is Mario's family home and 4 hectares of land. His garden is set in idyllic woodland, and he has created a quick magical organic garden with wooden holiday home with total privacy at the end of the garden. We went to stay there back in October on our outstanding family weekend in eastern Croatia.
What started out as a change to a healthier lifestyle has slowly developed into the start of a small business, with OPG Romulic offering health, organic lifestyle breaks. Add in the chance to have a photo safari of the natural beauty of Kopackii Rit with Mario himself, and this is truly a wonderful side of Croatia that people rarely experience.
With the current crisis and with more and more people looking to buy and grow local, Mario was ahead of his time - here he is more than a month ago with an interview for the Croatian media, which TCN also carried, Croatian Photographer Mario Romulic Makes Case for Self-Sufficiency.
The OPG Romulic Facebook page has been very active recently, as Mario has been combining his organic farming skills with that of his legendary timelapse photography. Above and below, you can see how potatoes and planted and organic gardens built, Romulic-style, with more photos of this little slice of organic paradise below.
