... and even more bluish ...Oct 07, 2007

The light slowly turned bluish ...Oct 07, 2007
|
|
The redness only lasted for about five minutes, then it began to fade away.Oct 07, 2007
|
|
It was breathtaking.Oct 07, 2007

When we got to Stara Baška, I ran to the beach to capture this.Oct 07, 2007

On the way to Island Krk, the late afternoon light was a sign there would be a great sunset.Oct 07, 2007

Cows didn't mind being photographed.Sep 30, 2007

|
A few more minutes and the sun was gone.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
The walk back took less than an hour and I just made it in time to catch the last sunrays.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
When I was finally done with the photo session, I headed back to the tower.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
The camera was held high up above my head for this one.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
The only place to stand are the elevated paths, and if you step off them, you might sink knee-deep into the mud. I had to maneuver a bit to take some of the photos.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
It was such a nice day and the light played right into my hands.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
I just couldn't stop taking photos. This place is really photogenic.Sep 30, 2007

|
The ground is boggy and elevated wooden paths had to be built for visitors.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
It took one hour to get to the Lovrenc lake area. First, I climbed the viewing tower. You can't even see the lakes as they are hidden among the low but thick vegetation.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
Heading into the woods again.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
An ideal spot to rest.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
It's not a demanding walk - it's more or less level and the path leads through some woods and across several clearings.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
The hike starts at Rogla at about 1400 meters above sea level.Sep 30, 2007
|
|
I was surprised the place was almost deserted. I hardly saw any visitors, and that's a shame.Sep 30, 2007

I absolutely loved the interior of the church! Roofless, bare walls, grass on the ground, interesing shadows ... but tough conditions for a photographer!Sep 30, 2007

In the middle of the walled courtyard only a few buildings were renovated, the rest are in ruins.Sep 30, 2007

The monastery is hidden in a narrow valley and is easy to miss.Sep 30, 2007
