Utvrda (Fortress) Nutjak with some hints on how to reach it, about 3km from Trilj, Croatia
There are signs to the main road from Trilj that leads you to the path that takes you nearer to utvrda Nutjak. So, if you're coming from the center of Trilj, you'd go on the metal bridge and turn left at the first street[1]; while on this street, you'll pass a fountain on your left and a school on your right. Just keep straight.
Eventually you'll reach a mountain apex (where both sides go down from or up to the top). This is where you'll see the big sign with info. about utrvrda Nutjak, though the description on the bottom is torn (see the photo in the video). There's also a bench.
At some point, when you go down, you'll come to a double railing (meaning there are rails on both sides of the street) and some houses on the right, with a storage shed on the first path to the left. Keep going until you see the second path to the left[2] (I took photos of it, and of the sign marker; see video).
Follow the dirt path. When you see some blocks on your right (see photo in video), the way on the mountain that will take you to utvrda Nutjak will be coming up on your left. However, there's more than one way in; once you enter, stay straight.
There's no direct path to utvrda Nutjak even if you start on the one that looks like it's man-made; at some point it disappears (I know, because that's how I entered; then I came out a different way). After that, just be careful if you want a closer look; it gets very narrow on the back end of the tallest wall, so I'm not sure it'd be safe to walk around it without professional equipment. But otherwise, just watch your footing, maybe stomach roll on top of the first wall if you're short, etc.
As I understand, however, Muzej Trilskog (The Museum of Trilj) is in the middle of excavations. So they don't have a lot of info. about utvrda Nutjak that supplements what you can read from the sign; but it was a site of defense against an earlier Turkish invasion, and the Croatian defenders used lead bullets (the archaeologist said Pb which I guessed and later confirmed was lead, as that's the only thing I associate with bullets). I didn't, but you can pay the admission price to see some of the things they've found at the site which are located upstairs, from what I was told.

[1] You can walk on the wooden bridge, but I found it scary the one time I did! If you do cross, then your next step is to go up to the street and turn left.
[2] Thanks to the policemen who were stopping cars near the path. I thought there might be a path, but I wasn't sure, as there are no other signs to utvrda Nutjak from the big sign. So if they hadn't have been there, I would've kept walking on the street.

Under an uprooted tree from the Section 3 path on the Tilurij side, Gardun, Croatia
Gardun is similar to a horseshoe; its main parts are parallel on two roads, one that includes the remains of the Tilurium camp (follow the road with the Tilurij sign in front of it; if you're confused, it's the middle road, directly to the right of the big sign). If you stayed at the top and turned left, you'd reach the cemetery.
Anyway, I originally went down this path - it leads to another part of Trilj further left from the church and cemeteries - following the section 3 sign (it's a dirt path that goes into the nature between the granite paths which are driveways. So the cistern well is nearer to the path going back to Gardun than where this uprooted tree is.
I just thought it was cool and aesthetically pleasing. I'm not sure if I captured the details of the uprooted part as well as I could've, but you'll see the roots toward the end.

Detail on a complex grave design, Gardun, Croatia
The motif of the man on horse is interesting, but I don't know what it's meant to symbolize. However, this is a family grave; there are several names inscribed.
Anyway, I just thought it was beautiful and couldn't capture it with photos alone. So that's why I made this video. I hope you like it.

Closer look at wooden bridge over Paro Chhu in Bhutan
Paro has the privilege of hosting Bhutan's lone airport. The Paro Chhu valley is an excellent trout stream and runs through the valley.
Paro hosts Bhutan's lone airport and the valley comprises a range of bucolic imagery including traditional Bhutanese homes, dzongs or fortified monasteries and green rice fields as far as the eyes can see. Bhutan at her best!
The Kingdom of Bhutan is a landlocked nation in South Asia, located at the eastern end of the Himalaya Mountains and is bordered to the south, east and west by the Republic of India and to the north by Tibet. Bhutan is separated from Nepal by the Indian state of Sikkim.
Paro Chhu is a river of western Bhutan. It is a tributary of the Wong Chhu, which is known as the Raidak in its lower reaches.
The Paro Chhu flows through the Paro Valley, which is the site of one of Bhutan's main towns, Paro, and many important monasteries.
The lower Paro Chhu river is a good stretch of about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) for beginner/intermediate kayakers. This stretch has many small, boulder rapids and wave trains. There is one class IV--V boulder choke, about 3 km from the put in, which can be run on the left and scouted from the right. It is suitable for kayaks only as the river is too small for a raft to be enjoyable. After this, the river enters a short, scenic canyon with more class II--III rapids. The stretch ends at Chhuzom. More experienced kayakers can continue down the Wong Chhu.
This video shows the great green expanse of the valley with the river flowing through it. Also Bhutan's fame as one of the cleanliest countries seems justified as we can see the roads and the residential villages which seem completely devoid of garbage or litter.

WW2 statue showing a man holding a flag while a woman holds her dead son, Sinj, Croatia
For some reason, this memorial didn't appear in the *Town of Sinj: Tourist Guide* (n.d.), though it's in the same park as the statue of Father Pavao Vučković, but nearer to the main street. I think it's a powerful image, though I don't understand the symbolism with the flag which is difficult to make out in my video due to the sun.
It's also the first time I've been able to see inside of a statue. The reason for that is the hole on the lower right side. I did what I could to show it in its entirety and from different perspectives close-up and a little further away.
