Clean Green (the Mermaid is Out)
09/14/2007
Inspired by today’s Pengovsky’s Friday Foxy, I looked for my photos of the Triglav lakes next to the mountain hut (Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih) at the altitude of 1,685 m.
I didn’t get to see the mermaid, but found the views to be just as spectacular without her. It may have been the fresh air and the beauties of nature all around us or perhaps the sense of achievement after a rather long walk up to the cabin from Lake Bohinj… most probably a combination of both, but I was in awe. The only problem being that my sentiments were shared by easily over a hundred other people, most of whom had made their reservations and were able to actually spend the night at the cabin. There’s always next time, right 🙂
I couldn’t decide which of the photos I liked best, so am including several. Hope you don’t mind.
By the way, which of these photos do you think looks best? Don’t forget to click to enlarge.
My choice of video for the above photos that bring back lovely memories:

That’s the Double Lake, right?

Which camera did you use for these – Nikki or Xavi? Whichever you used, the pictures are fab. If you used Nikki, have you experimented with the polarising filter yet. It’s VERY useful with landscapes and water. Obviously.

@Pengovsky: Yep, I think it is. Good guess! 😉
@Adriaan: This is Nikki’s work in the pre-Xavi era. Even though she’s bigger and heavier, she’ll keep accompanying me to the mountains. I’ve already played with the polarising filter a bit, but am waiting for a chance to really give it a go. At Kravji bal, perhaps? 🙂
@Daniel: Thanks! And yep, it is…

Epruvetka pravi…
Meni je najbolj všec prva slika in verjetno tudi tebi, ker si jo dala na prvo mesto.

I like the middle picture best. What abeautiful place, but a shame to have to share it with a hundred others! I have read about the wonderful walking in your country.

Hi Dr. Filomena,
Thanks for your comments on my blog. I went to Greece and survived the Greek fires. Actually I was in the Islands (Kos, Crete and Mykonos) where there were no fires; only the island of Evia was somehow affected. I’m glad to be back and catch up your posts!
Great pictures you have here!
As I’m late, my posts at Blogtrotter are still in Bali 2005. Hope you enjoy it, anyhow!
Have a great weekend!
