Velika planina again - sunset and fog!
|
|
|
|
|
It was cloudy when we emerged from the forest to Mala planina.
|
|
Overcast and grey - I wasn't really counting on any great photos.
|
|
The terrain was extremely wet as it had been raining for days. I got my shoes all muddy just by walking across this marshy meadow.
|
|
But when we reached Velika planina and looked over the edge ... the light started to change.
|
|
The sun made a bashful appearance ...
|
|
... and exploded into an orange series of sunbeams.
|
|
Looking toward the other side, the fog had already started to creep up from the valley.
|
|
Kamnik - yay, I can see my house from here! :)
|
|
Barbed wire.
|
|
The clouds were beginning to redden.
|
|
More sun from behind the clouds.
|
|
The trail along the edge.
|
|
I kept looking back.
|
|
Flowers.
|
|
Sweet light.
|
|
Shadows on the opposite slope.
|
|
The chapel.
|
|
The fog had reached the cottages, but the edge was still bathing in the sun.
|
|
Fog.
|
|
I took a path away from the edge and towards the cottages, but when I looked back one more time ...
|
|
In the village, the light was changing so fast I had to act quickly.
|
|
The fog turned red, but just for one minute.
|
|
The sight was amazing.
|
|
Ridges in red fog.
|
|
Cows were returning to their cottages.
|
|
Then the red hue was gone and the fog slowly crept on over the village.
|
|
A completely different sight from one minute before.
|
|
We had some soured milk and cottage cheese while enjoying the view of the chapel enveloped in fog.
|
|
It was almost 9 p.m. when we set off back to the valley.
|
|
The light changed again, this time to bluish.
|
|
It was pretty dark and I had to prop the camera on a fence to capture the fog rolling in again.
|
|
Now it was really dark and foggy, but knowing the way we didn't turn on our headlamps.
|
|
A typical Velika planina cottage in the bluish foggy nightfall.
|
|
Just before plunging back into the woods we said goodbye to Planina. I know we'll be back soon.
