Mt. Mrežce above Pokljuka

|
|
The trail from Planina Javorniki was well-trodden.
|
|
Soon I reached the Lipanca hut with my destination, Mt. Mrežce, looming over it.
|
|
Looking back towards the valley.
|
|
Blue skies and puffy clouds.
|
|
From here on there was no defined trail and I had to trudge through the heavy snow.
|
|
Larches along the trail.
|
|
This was the good part of the trail. ;)
|
|
Karavanke range in the distance.
|
|
The first glimpse over the ridge to the west.
|
|
Ski trails.
|
|
Mt. Triglav.
|
|
There were more and more dark clouds rolling in from the west.
|
|
Luckily some blue sky remained in the east.
|
|
The last stretch before the summit.
|
|
Below the top.
|
|
Glorious Julian Alps.
|
|
Mali Draški vrh, Veliki Draški vrh to the left, Triglav and Rž to the right.
|
|
Ski tourers' trails.
|
|
Sunlit top with dark clouds.
|
|
Contrast.
|
|
Planika hut.
|
|
Ana at the top of Mrežce (1965 meters) with Triglav in the background.
|
|
Planina Javorniki from the top.
|
|
The weather was changing fast. Cloudy one minute, sunny the next.
|
|
Dramatic sky over Triglav.
|
|
Planina Javorniki where I left my car.
|
|
Mt. Stol in the Karavanke range. The visibility was terrible and I had to crank up the contrast in postproduction a lot.
|
|
Mountains above Bohinj.
|
|
Triglav in sunrays.
|
|
Below Kredarica.
|
|
Lipanca hut from Mrežce.
|
|
More picturesque clouds.
|
|
The signpost at the summit.
|
|
I wanted to wait for the sunset as the colors were promising.
|
|
The mighty Rjavina rock face.
|
|
Triglav and Planika hut.
|
|
Planika hut.
|
|
Then it got really cloudy and my hopes of shooting a great sunset were crushed, so I hurried back down.
