Julian Alps

The Julian Alps in Slovenia are a breathtaking mountain range that offers some of the most stunning photography locations in Europe. With its jagged peaks, crystal-clear lakes, and lush green valleys, the Julian Alps are a paradise for nature photographers. The region is home to several iconic landmarks, including the Triglav National Park, Lake Bled, and the Vintgar Gorge, which offer endless opportunities for capturing stunning landscapes and wildlife.

Full Moon Jamnik
Jamnik

During my week in Slovenia this shot was high on my wishlist. I knew the moon would be full on the last evening of the trip, and that it would rise right behind the Jamnik church. My image was inspired by a photo taken by Henk Meijer Photography. See his beautiful version here: www.flickr.com/photos/henk-meijer/41500675595

This is the main wintersports center in Slovenia; close to the Italian border. However it is also a picturesque small town.

Kranj at Dawn
by Adelheid Smitt

Another Slovenian church. I love the location of this one; under the powerline in the middle of agricultural land. I took the photo from a hilltop near Kranj. Like my previous upload, it was a challenge to keep lens and camera stable on the tripod. This was taken with a 400mm lens and then cropped to about 20% of the total image. Any future telephoto lens postings will be made with support from my new tripod :-).

Bohinj, Slovenia (explored)
Bohinj Lake and Church
by Adelheid Smitt

St. John the Baptist Church on the shores of Lake Bohinj. Like an earlier photo of Bled that I posted, I want to complete my Slovenia album with some famous viewpoints. This one was taken during my first visit to Slovenia in 2017. I was there again in 2019 and hope to return in the Autumn of this year, when the world is hopefully back to normal. Stay well everybody!

Traveling through Slovenia I seem to have photographed mostly churches, but then there are so many pretty ones and often in such picturesque locations. This is the much photographed church on the shores of Lake Bohinj. I liked the colour added by the boats.

Kobarid
Kozjak
by Enrica Fabriani

En las afueras de Kobarid (Caporetto en italiano) se encuentra la cascada Kozjak del río Soca, el cual forma un bonito valle. Toda esta zona fue escenario de cruentas batallas durante la 1ª Guerra Mundial y, además de un museo y diferentes enclaves a visitar, es el lugar que sirvió de inspiración a Ernst Hemingway para escribir su novela "Adiós a las armas".
