Falls in Autumn

Photograph by Vedrana Tafra , National Geographic Your Shot

Dispersing fog and a moment of sunshine bring the falls and foliage of Croatia s Plitvice Lakes National Park into view on an early autumn morning. The country s oldest and largest national park, Plitvice boasts more than plunging waterfalls: Its 16 terraced lakes, formed by natural travertine dams, change color throughout the day, and its abundant wildlife includes 261 species of birds.
