Emerging from the woods we saw this lonely trail across the plain.

Mt. Ojstrica.
Orange fog in the valley.
Layers.
View to the south.

Play of light and shadow.
Towards the sun.
Trudging through fresh snow.
The Kamnik Alps.
Pollution!
Waiting for the golden light.
Fence.
Snow.
Back at Črnuški dom the light was already orange. To see what it looked like exactly one hour earlier place the cursor over the photo.
Golden light.
Great views.
Then I hiked around looking for untrampled snow.
I came across two cabins with more great views.
Ideal position, wouldn't you say?
The shadows were creeping along the slopes.
Sunset.
Last red sun rays.
Trail.
Mists in the valley.
After the sunset.

The light slowly turned pink.
Mt. Planjava was still lit by the sun.

Many trails.
Serene and beautiful.
A hiker and a dog?
Velika planina and the Kamnik Alps.
Classic postcard material.
Domžalski dom.
Domžalski dom was inviting me for a plate of jota...
... but first I had to enjoy in this subtle fine blue light some more.
Evening.
After 7 p.m. the night shooting began. The hardest part is composing the photo as you can't see anything through the viewfinder!
The moon illuminated the landscape.
The chapel.
After this shot my only working battery died.
After spending some time at the hut to refill the battery I went out again to shoot the moonless landscape. The trees were lit by the lamp at the hut though.
Red light pollution from the valley.
20 minutes.
Stars.
Pink horizon.
Before sunrise.
More pink horizon.
First glimpses of the sun.
The slope was slowly becoming pink...
... and orange and red.
Ski trails.

Back to the hut for breakfast.

Winter fairy tale.
That's why photographers need to wear bright colors. :p
