Thousands of sacred places are scattered over Bosnian mountaintops, near water springs, in caves and forest gorges. Some have been banned in socialist Yugoslavia, others have been affected by the forced migrations of the 1990s or large-scale developmental projects. The shared and syncretic calendar in Bosnia peaks between the days of two saints, George and Elijah, who married a wide array of influences from within and beyond the Balkan Peninsula. These dates mark the beginning of the fertile season and the end to the harvest.

The Bosnian Landscapes project offers a glimpse into Dr Safet HadžiMuhamedović visual anthropological research. The images imaginative seasonal rituals and pilgrimage sites across Bosnia.   ​
