The hike through the woods revealed a green forest floor while the trees hadn't even started to bud.
As soon as we reached the plateau and the Mala planina village, my heart skipped a beat. There were still lots of crocuses! :)
This photo may not show how violet it really was.
We hike to Velika planina often, but we don't always climb to the top itself. This time we did.
1666 meters (5,460 feet). The Kamnik Alps in the background.
Famous European ski resorts are not that far away. :)
The light was becoming sweeter and softer.
The chapel just before the sun hid behind a mountain ridge.
Velika planina chapel.
There was very little water in the waterhole considering the time of the year.
On the way back I wanted to get a better photo of Kamnik, but the air was full of smog. I could nevertheless almost see my house. :)
Looking back we bid farewell to Velika planina knowing we'd be back soon.
Mt. Ojstrica and the chapel.
I waited for the sun to get very low before I started taking shots of crocuses. Yes, I was lying on the ground for these photos. :)
The last few seconds before the sunset... the crocuses were already closed up, and we hurried back to the valley.
More photos here.
Oh, and Happy Easter! :)

Lepe fotografije.
Dobre! Vidim, da moram tudi jaz kdaj pa kdaj na Veliko planino. Samo enkrat bil, pa še tisto bolj turista špilal, kot pa fotografa. :)
Boby, hvala.
Sašo, pa pohiti, če bi rad videl žafrane! No, sicer je pa Velka lepa vse leto. :)
Oh, damn, I am on a 3 weeks holiday trip to Slovenia and about 2 weeks ago I was thinking about going to Velika Planina as well but my girlfriend said that it is still way to cold to go up there, like around 10 degrees. I don't know if it really is that cold still there, but your pics look so wonderful that I couldn't really care about the coldness haha :-)
