    Awesome time-lapse video of Mostar, in Bosnia. There are several more in the series, such as Istanbul, Sarajevo, Budapest etc.
    Just over 20 years ago, during the 'homeland war' in the Balkans, the Turkish arched bridge collapsed into the river due to heavy, repeated shelling. Divers recovered the fragments and it was rebuilt, as good as new, to the original Ottoman design<ok>
