| Velika planina again - sunset and fog! |
On a whim we decided one late afternoon to treat ourselves to some more soured milk so we packed our backpacks and sped to Kisovec where we started another climb to Velika planina. We were just in time for some spectacular clouds, sun rays and fog, which followed. By the time we got back to the car, it was dark. Yes, soured milk was delicious! :) |
|
|
|
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.
