To The Top

in #photography6 years ago

We have some great weather here in Slovenia, especially for visiting the mountains.

Yesterday I decided to visit a high mountain named Krn.

I went to the store and bought two bottles of water and two Milka chocolates with walnuts. I put some spare clothes in my backpack too.

Krn's western side. This photo was taken in the spring when the snow was still present.

Today at six in the morning I started my adventure from the south side from the parking lot at 950 m above sea level.

The left red line is Krn and the right is Botognica.

Sunrise in the mountains is spectacular.

Not on the photo tho.

It's still calm and foggy down in the valley.

After one hour and a half, I was sweating like a: you pick the word for the animal.

The cottage or shelter was a bit closer.

Sheep crossed my path. They were curious but shy.

On the edge of the cliff.

Almost there.

After I passed the shelter there were just 10 more minutes to the top.

In the lower left corner, you can see the line of the barns from the third photo. Just to get the impression of how high I climbed.

Here's the proof.

And the reward. View to the north side of the lake at the bottom and a sip of homemade brandy.

A hint of art.

I was proud of my achievement and then I spotted this pair of domestic sheep grazing on the slope. Crazy!

We, humans, are soo weak and vulnerable.

I marked for you the highest mountain in Slovenia.

We call it Triglav which means three head.

Just a last look to the valley and that's all for today.

It took me three hours of walk to the top. On my activity tracker, it showed I walked 5.3 kilometres and climbed 1300 meters of altitude difference.

Stay tuned for more, my friends.

I never think that this place is that kind of beautiful and attractive. Keep do sharing this amazing place photography.

Wow.
This is lovely.

Woah, this is extremely cool! Slovenia just blew my mind! Is this where you're originally from?!

Yes, it is. Thanks for stopping by.

Breathtaking views! Beautiful landscapes and impressive mountains too! I loved the bright colors which show Nature at its best! Thanks for sharing!

You're welcome. Thank you for the comment.

The first takes this spectacular, those mountains and the people in their skirts with signs of the snowfall is like reading a fairy tale, I confess that I never imagined that there were such pure and virgin places to explore because I saw them in the magazine and many times in meeting they were thought to be edited toms, today I am proud to show your excellent work and first hand. The dawn everywhere has its natural beauty, it is more every day in the same place they have different effects, I despite my advanced age, I play to find ways to the clouds together with my granddaughters. Those three hours you walked were very productive for both your body and your soul, I really congratulate and grateful that you share your adventures with your followers, beauty to the fullest, greetings @oldtimer

Thank you for the kind words.

Breathtaking photos!

You did it very well, not everyone walks for three hours, it's a long and tired road, but I'm glad you got to the top, you did it. Congratulations

You also managed to capture some very beautiful views surely worth it
