Misty sunset from above Kamnik

I often climb the Špica hill above Kamnik, especially in the late afternoon to get in a nice sunset on top of some exercise. :) One day in early November the so-so day turned into an amazing orange-purple misty sunset.

With the paraglider gliding into the post-sunset valley, I packed my little camera and ran down the hill.

Golden larches on Slemenova špica

It's probably been over 15 years since I last hiked to Slemenova špica, a panoramic peak with great views of Mt. Mojstrovka and Mt. Jalovec in the Julian Alps. It boasts many larches that blaze in yellow and orange hues in the fall. I decided for an afternoon hike to catch the warm late afternoon sun.
