It was cloudy when we emerged from the forest to Mala planina.
P02-Velplan-010.jpg
Overcast and grey - I wasn't really counting on any great photos.
P03-Velplan-017.jpg
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.
P04-Velplan-028.jpg
But when we reached Velika planina and looked over the edge ... the light started to change.
P05-Velplan-034.jpg
The sun made a bashful appearance ...
P06-Velplan-036.jpg
... and exploded into an orange series of sunbeams.
P07-Velplan-040.jpg
Looking toward the other side, the fog had already started to creep up from the valley.
P08-Velplan-044.jpg
Kamnik - yay, I can see my house from here! :)
P09-Velplan-048.jpg
Barbed wire.
P10-Velplan-055.jpg
The clouds were beginning to redden.
P11-Velplan-060.jpg
More sun from behind the clouds.
P12-Velplan-064.jpg
The trail along the edge.
P13-Velplan-068.jpg
I kept looking back.
P14-Velplan-070.jpg
Flowers.
P15-Velplan-074.jpg
Sweet light.
P16-Velplan-076.jpg
Shadows on the opposite slope.
P17-Velplan-077.jpg
The chapel.
P18-Velplan-084.jpg
The fog had reached the cottages, but the edge was still bathing in the sun.
P19-Velplan-085.jpg
Fog.
P20-Velplan-100.jpg
I took a path away from the edge and towards the cottages, but when I looked back one more time ...
P21-Velplan-111.jpg
In the village, the light was changing so fast I had to act quickly.
P22-Velplan-113.jpg
The fog turned red, but just for one minute.
P23-Velplan-115.jpg
The sight was amazing.
P24-Velplan-117.jpg
Ridges in red fog.
P25-Velplan-120.jpg
Cows were returning to their cottages.
P26-Velplan-123.jpg
Then the red hue was gone and the fog slowly crept on over the village.
P27-Velplan-126.jpg
A completely different sight from one minute before.
P28-Velplan-129.jpg
We had some soured milk and cottage cheese while enjoying the view of the chapel enveloped in fog.
P29-Velplan-131.jpg
It was almost 9 p.m. when we set off back to the valley.
P30-Velplan-141.jpg
The light changed again, this time to bluish.
P31-Velplan-148a.jpg
It was pretty dark and I had to prop the camera on a fence to capture the fog rolling in again.
P32-Velplan-161.jpg
Now it was really dark and foggy, but knowing the way we didn't turn on our headlamps.
P33-Velplan-162.jpg
A typical Velika planina cottage in the bluish foggy nightfall.
P34-Velplan-169.jpg
Just before plunging back into the woods we said goodbye to Planina. I know we'll be back soon.
