Dec 18, 2005

There was another stretch of woods in front of me...Dec 18, 2005

... before I reached a clearing where sunrays were trying to get through the fog. The light was magical. These photos are hardly post-processed at all - the colors were really like this.Dec 18, 2005

On a steep slope first sunrays greeted me.Dec 18, 2005

I ascended from the town of Žiri up a road through a forest. This was before sunrise.Dec 18, 2005

I spent over two hours at the summit in only a T-shirt (well, and pants, obviously)! It was really warm for the end of October.Nov 29, 2005

Another tree, another blaze ... it was a great hike!Nov 29, 2005

Looking up towards the blue sky.Nov 29, 2005

It was difficult to descend quickly as the trail was covered in leaves and I couldn't see what was beneath.Nov 29, 2005

The last look toward the saddle before I plunged into the forest.Nov 29, 2005

Half green, half yellow.Nov 29, 2005

A mountain runner passed by me as I was taking pictures.Nov 29, 2005

Looking up to where I had just been half an hour before.Nov 29, 2005

I was in a hurry to get back to the clearing, which was still full of color, but this time the light was coming from another angle.Nov 29, 2005

Back at the Kamnik Saddle I spotted a pole with a wooden Slovenian flag.Nov 29, 2005

Before I left the top, I had another view of the Logarska Valley, which was then bathing in the sun.Nov 29, 2005

The wind took them to the south...Nov 29, 2005

... to their landing spot in the Kamniška Bistrica Valley.Nov 29, 2005

And he was in the air too.Nov 29, 2005

It's amazing how quick they appear to be in the air.Nov 29, 2005

In a matter of seconds he was sailing away.Nov 29, 2005

Then the other one followed.Nov 29, 2005

They carefully set up their paraglides and waited for the right wind.Nov 29, 2005

The first one ran down the hill and took off.Nov 29, 2005

Jackdaws, however, weren't the only creatures with wings on Brana that day. There were a couple of paragliders ready to take off.Nov 29, 2005

Jackdaws soaring over the mountains and valleys.Nov 29, 2005

The slopes of the adjacent mountains look extremely unwelcoming to a mountaineer, but they offer enough space for larches.Nov 29, 2005

A cross is a very typical feature on summits in the Slovenian Alps.Nov 29, 2005

The weather down in the valley was "sunny", but from above it looked as fog.Nov 29, 2005

This is a blaze, a sign used in the mountains to mark trails.Nov 29, 2005

After a good half hour I was at the top. Yippie! There is Logarska Valley in the background.Nov 29, 2005

I soon came upon the first steel ropes. Yes, it was steep. :)Nov 29, 2005

Here it's clear that while one side of the saddle is sunny and grassy and welcoming, the other one is wild, dark and steeeeeep. If you fall, it's only one kilometer down the slope before you reach the valley below.Nov 29, 2005

The trail to the top of Brana is marked as "demanding". Well, it does involve some quite steep sections, but it's not too bad as long as you're not afraid of heights.Nov 29, 2005

As the trail climbed up Brana's north face, I enjoyed the view over the vast saddle and Mount Planjava.Nov 29, 2005

... and to the north, towards Logarska Valley and the hut at Okrešelj.Nov 29, 2005

To the north-west, mountains Skuta and Rinke loomed over deep valleys.Nov 29, 2005

I took a break at the Kamnik Saddle at 1,876 meters above sea level. Here I was looking at my final destination, Mount Brana.Nov 29, 2005

The view from the saddle to the south...Nov 29, 2005

A trail through the pines and over the scree.Nov 29, 2005

The colors shone brightly.Nov 29, 2005

This is the altitude where the pine grows.Nov 29, 2005

... toward the Kamnik Saddle.Nov 29, 2005

The last hour from the clearing to the saddle offered great views.Nov 29, 2005

Looking toward the slope where I would soon be climbing.Nov 29, 2005

The last look to the south before I continued with my hike...Nov 29, 2005

The larches were still vivid color.Nov 29, 2005

Great colors anywhere I looked.Nov 29, 2005

An early start paid off. I reached the first clearing just in time for the first sun rays.Nov 29, 2005

Twenty minutes into the hike I emerged from the foggy valley, climbing the forested slope up to the Kamnik Saddle.Nov 29, 2005

I just couldn't get enough of the view.Nov 16, 2005

Larch twig.Nov 16, 2005

An old drinking trough.Nov 16, 2005

The larch and the moon.Nov 16, 2005

The light was changing as the clouds traveled across the sky.Nov 16, 2005

This is also a starting point for a few mountain hikes.Nov 16, 2005

There was even some mist near the mountain tops.Nov 16, 2005

Larches and firs.Nov 16, 2005

It was getting better and better.Nov 16, 2005

A small water hole offered great reflections.Nov 16, 2005

When the first sunrays hit the slope full of larches, I forgot to breathe for a moment.Nov 16, 2005

Every way I looked, there was a magnificent sight in front of my eyes.Nov 16, 2005

Clouds bathing in the sun.Nov 16, 2005

I still wasn't at the top of the hill.Nov 06, 2005

I just couldn't stop looking up! It made me quite dizzy.Nov 06, 2005

Trees turning yellow.Nov 06, 2005

What I came for - chestnuts.Nov 06, 2005

Looking up provided great photo ops.Nov 06, 2005

Two leaves ready to fall off.Nov 06, 2005

It was surprising that despite many brown leaves on the forest floor the trees weren't bare yet.Nov 06, 2005

The road leads up to the top of a hill which is a popular place to pick chestnuts.Nov 06, 2005
