Velika planina in clouds and rain

After a quick climb though the woods we reached the plateau of Mala planina. There was even some blue sky!
|
|

The whole mountain was full of flowers.
|
|

During the few moments of sun rays peaking from behind the clouds I scrambled around to take as many pictures as possible.
|
|

The ominous clouds in the background weren't very promising.
|
|

Cows have been on pasture here for two weeks and will stay until the fall.
|
|

I knew the sun wasn't going to last for long ...
|
|

... so I took a few more photos, and while we had a hearty meal at the hut, it started pouring.
|
|

We waited for over an hour and headed out again when the skies cleared a bit.

The chapel and yellow flowers in the foreground.

|

This pond always begs to be photographed. The light was quite good.
|
|

The village of Velika planina was lush green ...
|
|

... the ponds clear ...
|
|

... and cows were wandering around.
|
|

We had some sour milk at one of the cottages when it began to rain again. We set off anyway, greeted a few cows on the way ...
|
|

... one of them from very close!
|
|

By then it was raining hard so I packed my camera and used Aco's waterproof P&S camera instead.
|
|

The edge.
|
|

An old tree.
|
|

Back in the forest I couldn't stop wondering at its lush green color.
|
|

Everything was wet and so were we, happy to have had made the hike despite the adverse weather.
