First snow in Kamnik

After having a very warm October and hardly any fall colors, it snowed at the end of the month. While I love snow, I wasn't too thrilled about not having any autumn! :) But, to capture the unusual sight of green trees covered with snow I hiked the nearby Špica hill one afternoon to get some views of Kamnik. The views were foggy and the trail was slippery, and what I came away with were some cool pics and a bruised rib from a sudden fall when returning.

The road was ... interesting, to say the least!


Fog enveloped the hill I was headed to.


Lots of broken branches due to heavy wet snow.


The trail was extremely muddy and slippery.


Fall colors? :)


The fog descended upon Kamnik and the sun only peeked through occasionally for a few seconds.


On the way down I was passed by a jogger.


Just as I reached the road again, the sun reappeared in this spectacular display of red glow.


The rib still hurts more than a week later.
