Back at Črnuški dom the light was already orange. To see what it looked like exactly one hour earlier place the cursor over the photo.
Piles of snow concealing the cabins.
Golden light.
It's impossible to get into the cabins.
Great views.
Then I hiked around looking for untrampled snow.
I came across two cabins with more great views.
Ideal position, wouldn't you say?

Evening.
After 7 p.m. the night shooting began. The hardest part is composing the photo as you can't see anything through the viewfinder!
The moon illuminated the landscape.
The chapel.
After this shot my only working battery died.
After spending some time at the hut to refill the battery I went out again to shoot the moonless landscape. The trees were lit by the lamp at the hut though.
Red light pollution from the valley.
20 minutes.
