This November, Tomas captured a new series of breathtaking aerial scenes of Banja Luka, once again showcasing his signature style and remarkable sense for detail.

“Life with a camera is more beautiful and never boring,” Damjanović told our portal earlier, a sentiment that shines through in every frame he creates.

Among the many motifs that inspire him, the Banja Luka fortress Kastel holds a special place. As the oldest historical landmark in the city on the Vrbas, Kastel stands proudly in the very heart of town, carrying centuries of stories within its stone walls.

Its rich past stretches from traces of a Neolithic settlement to findings from the Roman, Slavic, and Ottoman periods. Once a powerful military fortification, Kastel served as a guardian of the Vrbas valley, protecting it from enemy incursions throughout history.

“Tell me, what a gentleman of a fortress this is. If Kastel were a man, he’d be Bryan Ferry, I guarantee it,” Damjanović wrote on his Facebook profile, adding that his photographs are available as canvas or plexiglass prints for anyone who wishes to bring a piece of Banja Luka into their home.
