Sunrise on Križna gora

Sunrises in the early summer - gotta love them. The sun rises so early you need to get up at an ungodly hour to make it to the destination in time. But, this time getting up at 3.45 was totally worth it. I met Luka on Križna gora hill above Škofja Loka around 4.45, and shortly after the heavenly show began. Let the photos do the talking:






































Sunrises like this make it all worth it. :)

Purple carpets of crocuses on Velika planina

Every spring it's amazingly picturesque on my favorite mountain, Velika planina. Carpets of crocuses turn the pastures purple everywhere you look. A week ago my friends Luka and Andrej hiked there in the afternoon to catch the late afternoon light hoping for a nice sunset too. After shooting like crazy for a few hours we concluded the day with a hearty meal at the Domžalski dom hut.

Now let the photos tell the story:

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.

Red and yellow fields

End of May is the time when I drive around Mengeš and Rodica searching for fields of clover. Their red color is so picturesque, and there are poppies growing there as well. Highly recommended for photography!

Velika planina and crocuses

The spring has come, but there is still snow high in the mountains. The white Kamnik Alps provided a beautiful backdrop when hiking on the purple carpet of crocuses on Velika planina.








































Is it obvious why I love returning to this place so much? :)
