Escaping the fog again

Looking at my photos I see that central Slovenia has been covered with a layer of fog for three weeks! A bit of fog is fine and I love fog photos, but it gets old after a week. And with the days being so short now (sunset at 4.20 pm) it's hard to organize one's day to include an escape to higher altitudes.

I did escape the fog on Sunday. Kamniški vrh hill again, of course. It's close, it's high enough, it has beautiful views, and the 700-meter climb makes for some nice exercise.

The fog was actually getting higher

Which way?

And two days later the fog still persists. This is seriously depressing especially if you work the whole day and finish right when the night falls. :(

Joj je lepo. A je naporna pot do gor? Bi zmogel tudi nekdo z ne preveč kondicije? :)

Napor je relativen. :) Vzpona je za 700 višincev, pot je delno položna, delno zelo strma. Zdaj pa računaj. :) So pa razgledi vredni truda, to pa ja.
Tudi z ne preveč kondicije prideš gor, samo malo dlje traja. ;)

I'm always floored by what you come up with. I'm sure that not every moment of this fog was as beautiful as what you posted, but you could have fooled me. ;)

Schmoo, thanks! In all honesty, these are just little hikes that I do and I don't pretend they yield photographic superlatives. I'm just happy if I bring home a couple of interesting pics. But believe me, looking down at the sea of fog IS beautiful! :)
