Description
21 June 2005 Canon 20D, EFS 17β85 Lens @ 17mm, F/8, 1/250 Sec., ISO 200I was observing a military medical training event in a village not far from Tuzla, Bosnia and like everywhere the local kids showed up to watch.
As a soldier stationed abroad the local kids can be both a joy and a pain in the butt in this case they were a joy. I was never any place in Bosnia where the kids were not well mannered and fun to interact with.

Thank you Zoran
As mentioned in the comments Bosnian kids were a pleasure to meet. One can tell when children are raised with love and taught to be well mannered and this was the case with all of the children that I met in Bosnia.

I must tell this to all my Bosnian friend.

Please do.
I had no desire to go to Bosnia and I hated my job there but I was totally charmed by Bosnia and itβs lovely people. I had to work with Bosniaks, Serbians & Croatians in my job and I must say that I found them all to be great people. The children were especially delightful.
This was all particularly interesting to me because I was married to the daughter of a very wonderful Croatian gentleman and so had some insight to the culture. In fact I was married at the Yugoslavian Club in Lima, Peru in 1979. The Yugoslavian ambassador to Peru even attended my wedding.

You are right for some reason connections with the Balkans keep coming up in my life. If I ever do return I will absolutely let you know.

Beautiful children! Awesome shot! love the expressions on their little faces. (the one in the middle seems to have "oh cool" look on his face.)
(my I suggest you try this one in B&W and a tighter crop around the kids?)
