The fog turned red, but just for one minute.Jul 12, 2009
|
|
In the village, the light was changing so fast I had to act quickly.Jul 12, 2009
|
|
I took a path away from the edge and towards the cottages, but when I looked back one more time ...Jul 12, 2009
|
|
Fog.Jul 12, 2009

Looking toward the other side, the fog had already started to creep up from the valley.Jul 12, 2009
|
|
... and exploded into an orange series of sunbeams.Jul 12, 2009
|
|
The sun made a bashful appearance ...Jul 12, 2009
|
|
But when we reached Velika planina and looked over the edge ... the light started to change.Jul 12, 2009
|
|
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.Jul 12, 2009
|
|
Overcast and grey - I wasn't really counting on any great photos.Jul 12, 2009
|
|
It was cloudy when we emerged from the forest to Mala planina.Jul 12, 2009

|
Everything was wet and so were we, happy to have had made the hike despite the adverse weather.Jul 06, 2009

By then it was raining hard so I packed my camera and used Aco's waterproof P&S camera instead.Jul 06, 2009

|
... so I took a few more photos, and while we had a hearty meal at the hut, it started pouring.Jul 06, 2009
|
|
I knew the sun wasn't going to last for long ...Jul 06, 2009
|
|
Cows have been on pasture here for two weeks and will stay until the fall.Jul 06, 2009
|
|
The ominous clouds in the background weren't very promising.Jul 06, 2009

During the few moments of sun rays peaking from behind the clouds I scrambled around to take as many pictures as possible.Jul 06, 2009
|
|
The whole mountain was full of flowers.Jul 06, 2009

We could hardly make out the town of Kamnik not that many kilometers to the south.Jul 02, 2009
|
|
The visibility sucked!Jul 02, 2009
|
|
This bench on the ridge below the summit offers great views and is a great pit stop before the final stretch of the climb.Jul 02, 2009
