Oh, how I miss this valley
I miss this little valley and some other places in Slovenia, which are only about one hour of driving away, and yet unreachable. |
Šunikov vodni gaj
Triglav National Park, Slovenia
So today I want to share some photos of the Šunik Water Grove (Šunikov vodni gaj) in the Lepena Valley in Slovenia with you, which I have made last Autumn, Winter and shortly before the Lockdown when the world was still in order. |
September 2019
❖ please click the image for fullsize view ❖
The first two photos were made in September and show a close-up of the beautiful mossy green boulders in the stream, and the middle part of the waterfalls there. Further down in this post, you might remember this little pool on the right in the photo below if you see another photo where it is frozen. |

After parking your car you have to walk for a few minutes on a nice trail along the stream and when you arrive at the water grove this scene is what you see first. |
❖ please click the image for fullsize view ❖
The bridge on top of the image leads to the circular path around the water grove, but at first you should go left to the base of the first and biggest of the waterfalls. Later you will see this waterfall photographed from another angle. |

Hope is a subtle glutton
Hope is a subtle glutton;
He feeds upon the fair;
And yet, inspected closely,
What abstinence is there!
His is the halcyon table
That never seats but one,
And whatsoever is consumed
The same amounts remain.
by Emily Dickinson

The next photo shows the view down the stream when you reach the upper part of the waterfalls. You come from from the the left side and have to go to the right over the bridge to continue the circular path back to the beginning. On the left side you might recognize a little part of the beautiful beech tree forest where I am also very often practicing woodland photography. |

This photo shows the same trees as the photo above, but photographed about 2 months later from the bridge, viewing up the stream. |

January 2020
There was less water in the stream, but ice and some icicles were to see in January, and maybe you recognize the pool which was in one of the other images above too. |

My last visit to the water grove was in March, but because there was more water in the stream than I had expected I was rewarded with a beautiful view and one more photo of the big waterfall at the beginning of the water grove. |

Hope
Hope is like a mountain strong,
That rises fair and even;
With pearls and diamonds strewed along,
That mark the way to heaven.
by Eliza and Sarah Wolcott
Actually, I wanted to go there in Spring when the snow melts on the mountains and the waterfalls are mighty and beautiful, but as you all know, there's no chance to leave my own country at this time. But I do not moan nor complain, because we are doing well and life is already getting more and more "normal" again. |
Stay at home, take care and stay healthy!

Soo beautiful nature 🙏
Thank you very much that you like the photos @tatiana21, I appreciate your nice comment 🙂
Thank you so much dear @pixresteemer, and soon I will be able to say thank you with a !BEER 🙂
wow, magical!
I love that place - so near and also so far away - thank you for your nice comment @tobetada 🙂
Wow, das sind mal echt wunderschöne Fotos. 😎
... und ich hoffe, ich kann dort bald neue aktuelle Fotos machen - sobald die Grenze wieder offen ist, bin ich auch schon dort 😉
Danke vielmals, dass dir die Fotos gefallen - das ist eine meiner Lieblingsgegenden 🙂
Lovely memories! Its fun how relative distance is. 600 km within one country (this is dist i will drive on this weekend) is less than 1 hour between countries...
Anyway, as I know, Austria is relaxing measures, right?
Yes, it's not far away, but unreachable at the moment. 600 km? That's about as long as our whole country is ;)
That's right, we are slowly getting back to a kind of normality, and I hope it's not too early, because the people are already behaving as if there was no danger around anymore ... I hope this won't make it al worse.
And I also hope you are well and everything is fine, my dear @zirochka 🙂
Im fine, dear Johann. Today we have a record number of daily deaths. I still think we doesnt reach our peak.
600 km is as long as your country? Of course not, it is longer! ))) You fogot condition of roads, lol. Even so, I very much look forward to hug my daughter. 1 more day and I go.
I wish we all overcome this virus and move on. Take care, my dear friend!
You are right, Austria is only 580 kilometers long and I have never driven on Ukrainian roads, but the roads apart from the tourist routes of our southern neighbors Croatia and Albania are not much better I believe ;) ... so your journey will be a hard one, but with a sweet end 🤗
I do also hope that we will all overcome this virus, but I think this virus will accompany us for quite a while and "normal" living as we knew it a few months ago will never be the same.
You take care too and get back home healthy 🙂
Sad to admit, but Croatian roads are much better. I can say "You better come over and try it yourself" but I don't wish you that :)
Yes, the virus will not disapper in a few month but I hope that someone will invite the vaccine, or our hoslitals will be better equiped and not overloaded. This is what works for us - to do our best and hope for good.
Thank you so much for good wishes!
Oops - well, in that case I don't think my old car would survive your roads, so I think I'll better stay here ;)
Let's hope, that a vaccine will come soon and that it works. In the meantime we all should do our best to avoid getting infected or infect others ... and hope, as you say.
Amazing landscapes and beautiful nature!
Thank you very much that you like the photos @always1success - I do really miss this place and hope to be able to get there once again soon 🙂

Hi @theunion, I thank you so much that you have chosen my post, I do really appreciate your vote a lot 🙂
Oh wow, da muss ich auch mal hin. Slowenien sit jetzt nicht unbedingt aus der welt.
Ich bin sogar in einer halben Stunde an der Grenze. Das Land ist noch nicht so überlaufen, bietet aber sehr viel für Menschen, die gerne in der Natur sind. Ich freue mich wirklich schon darauf, wenn die Grenze wieder geöffnet wird.
Ich danke dir für den netten Kommentar und wünsche dir noch einen schönen Tag 🙂
Such a magical area .... such beauty ... I believe you miss it ... I can imagine how much nicer it is live ... but you managed to capture a fraction ... when the borders opened right there ....🤗 @johannpiber
As soon as the borders are open again I will sit in my car and have a nice day right there 😉
Thank you so much for your kind comment and compliment, @suzana72 🙂
I do hope, everything is fine and you and your family are still well.

Thank you very much for your kind comment and support @curatorcat.ccc 🙂
Austria is already on the way to a kind of "normality" and we will see how people will handle the few restrictions we still will have, but life is getting easier here :)
Hope that you will be able to go there soon, and share more amazing photos of this beautiful place.
I heard that your country started to ease lockdown, so fingers crossed 🤞.
Have a great evening @johannpiber, stay safe and healthy.
Yeah, I think after Austria is going back to a more normal life the Slovenian might follow and crossing borders will be possible soon again.
Thank you for your nice words @cezary-io, you stay safe and healthy too, take care of your family.

The photo of the water Sept 2019 reminds me of someone kneeling Johann. Lovely long exposure making the water falls look silky.
Hm, it took me a while until I believe I see what you meant Jo, am I right when I can see a white person kneeling?
I love such long exposures where ou still can see the movement of the water and soon I'll be able to post new photos again 🙂
Have you seen, that some of us are back in the League? We want to motivate and boost the numbers a bit, but I have become such a lazy commenter, that I don't think that I'll be on the list next Sunday ;)
Hope you have a great day Jo 🙂
Yes that’s the image I see if I stretch my imagination. :)
I haven’t seen the League post yet. I’m sure you will be in the top ones. As for me I spent quite awhile each day responding but do well to keep in the colors.
Today has started off sunny so that’s a good sign. Have a great rest of the week Johann. :)
Cool, I needed all of my imagination to see it ;)
I think at least I have become a bit lazy and rusty - means, I'll have to force myself quite a bit to comment more, but since the other big names are also back it might be great fun 🙂
Our day started sunny too, but now, as I am going home in a few minutes dark rain clouds are rolling in, but we need some rain anyway, so I don't mind ;)
!invest_vote
Johann I didn't see your name in the top section of the league. Didn't you tell Asher to omit you for awhile when we were on steemit? You were taking 1st place a lot and thought you would give others a chance.
Hope you add yourself again as you deserve a good spot.
My decision to rejoin was made yesterday and I start as beginner, just like the others.
Don't expect me to be on top this weekend, because I really have to force myself to comment more again ... I have become really lazy in the past months and I have to admit, that this rainy afternoon I haven't done anything at the computer ;)
... I or better said we will earn our hopefully good spots, but it's all for the fun 😉
I hope the sun is still shining on the Island and wish you a nice afternoon Jo 🙂
I’m glad you rejoined. It is fun and does push one to comment more. You do wonderful with comments.
I’m really one who doesn’t normally give long comments but I am trying to make a bigger effort to expand my remarks. Not quick & to the point as is my personality. :) It’s also got me in trouble .
!tip
Good morning Jo,
I usually don't make many words - if you ask me how I am I would say "good" or "bad" and that would be all. My wife could probably talk about half an hour if she was asked that question ;) lol
When I joined in the League I began zu write longer comments, because I didn't like these 2-word-comments I got, and I have to admit that I also wrote sometimes only "beautiful photo".
But then I started to write longer replies and comments, which made some lazy people, as I have been one too, to write longer comments next time too ;)
I’m the same. Not one for flowery or long speeches or replies but I’m trying. LOL. I am Always amazed at how some folks can write forever on a subject and really just keep repeating the same scenario In different words. I guess it’s a gift. 🙂
Another nice day shaping up here in Eastern Canada. Birds are singing and all is well except for the threat of the virus pandemic.
I hope your day is the same Johann. Keep well!
A gift? I know some people which I would call annoying, because they cannot stop talking. The good thing about such people is, that I don't need to talk myself though - so it might really be a kind of gift I think ;) lol
I have had a busy day at work and it stopped raining, but the weather forecast says it will rain a lot in the next few days, but I don't mind, because we need some rain after many dry days, and now everything will get green as it should be in Spring 🙂
Tomorrow is a holiday and next week I'm working from home, but it will be like holidays ;)
Take care Jo 🙂
Haha maybe gift isn’t the right word. I know a few like you mentioned and you couldn’t get a word in if you wanted.
What is the holiday tomorrow? It used to be known here as May Basket day but that seems to have gone by the wayside. May 1 is an ancient Gaelic celebration of dancing around the Maypole and other festivities.
Have a good one Johann 🙂
Sometimes I'd like to have that "gift", when I have to "entertain" visitors or colleagues in our company, but I haven't, so I try to never be alone with people I don't know ;)
Today is a holiday here - May 1st is our Labour Day and in normal times there would be many celebrations. I don't like such celebrations anyway where mostly the politicians praise themselves, so I don't mind that almost nothing is happening this year. Also, in "normal" years every village has a "Maibaum" (May Tree) - I think it is similar as your Maypole and people have fun and dance too.
Have a good day too Jo 🙂
I was wondering what kind of work you do Johann. Don’t feel you have to answer. I think you would do fine talking to anyone no matter the job.
Nice to know the May 1 celebration customs are still alive somewhere and practiced in a normal year.
Yes, I think there's no village which does not have a Maypole and a dance around the Maypole feast.
What I work? Hm, I thought I had mentioned it in a former post, but it might also have been in a comment.
It's funny that you ask this today, because today is May 2nd and exactly 35 years ago on May 2, 1985 I had my first day as a student in the school of my "company" which was and still is there: Link to Google Maps.
The job I have learned there was not my dream job - I have finished the school though, but never really did the job I have learned. I am still working in this area, but in the logistics department southern L-shaped building. I have done a few different jobs, but since 2012 I am responsible for the offices and buildings which my company owns or has rented in our whole state of carinthia. These offices are commonly known as police stations and a few times a month I wear my uniform and a gun ;)
But as said above this has never been my dream job, but it is a very safe and quite well paid job. This why I prefer to sit in the office and I'm looking very much forward to my retirement in about 6.5 years 🙂
Congrats on 35 years Johann. We don’t always have our dream job. Your job sounds interesting and I‘m glad it is safe with all the craziness in the world.
I worked for 25 yrs in banking (in different departments at an Autoworkers Credit Union). Math calculation was always my worst subject and I didn’t like accounting. Maybe I just liked the idea for being around money.😂
That's the most important thing nowadays I think, to have a safe job :)
I would prefer to be around money that belongs to me ;)
I like office and computer work, but I don't like accounting very much. I know that, because I have also worked in our accounting department for a while ;)
Have a great weekend Jo 🙂

Beautiful place and lovely photos. It must be very nice to hear the water flowing quietly in some places and then splashing noisily down to the bottom. I think I could find a corner and sit there the whole day and enjoy the natural environment. Cheers!
That's exactly what I am missing: sitting there and enjoy the water, the splashing and the noise and the walks through the woods.
Thank you very much for your nice words Vincent, I do hope you are well and have a great day 🙂

I can see why you would miss this area, the beauty is remarkable and the shots you get from there are extraordinary
Soon you will be able to head back there so hang in there
Right, I will go to my waterfalls again and you will have your beach and the other beautiful places back 🙂
I have parked my bike in the garage at the office, because it's raining heavily and use my wife as my chauffeur today ;)
for sure, but my plan when this settles down, will be to go and visit the grandkids and start looking for a house close to them, then busy packing up where we are now, busy but fun times ahead
Right, you haven't seen them for quite a while and of course, you must be missing them a lot. I hope that you will soon be able to visit them, and I completely forgot that you wanted to search for a house near to them.
we have been calling them regularly but its not the same as visiting
Yes, I do also prefer to see my family instead of calling them, but our measures will change in the next days anyway, so that visiting my sister or my parents will be nomore problem :)
yeah I saw that ion the news things opening up there, that's great news for you all
Yes, these are great news, but now the people still have to take care, but you can see many who already seem to have forgotten the past weeks and behave like all would be over, but the enemy is still around!
That's really dangerous, because yesterday I have seen some bad news about the second wave happening in Singapore already. People are stupid and forget so fast.
I think that although the restrictions we had might have been too hard it was good that way.
Yes that news from Singapore was a big concern, especially sad some states here are looking to roll back real fast to back to normal, I have read that potentially if the return to normal is not managed well the second wave could be worse than the first
and yes your right its crazy how short the memory of some people is
There are still a lot of rules we have to follow, but all in all it now depends on us if we care enough or act stupid. My wife has been shopping in a supermarket yesterday and she said she didn't feel well because there were so many people and most didn't care.
The second wave will be worse they say, so let's hope we don't get too close to any of these stupid people ... whatever your government decides, please take care.
Yeah the trouble is so many people have been stuck indoors for so long, when they get a chance to get out I guess its understandable they want to get out as soon as possible, but also scary that so many will want to get out and may let common sense slip
Either way we will take it easy and be careful
Yes, we will take it easy too and just avoid such people.
In one or two weeks we will see how it all works out, but hopefully I'm wrong and everything will turn out fine, although I like to have every second week off ;)
yes we have to hope for the best and that it all turns out fine and things start slowly getting back to normal
👍🙂
👍🙂👍😎
A very beautiful and inspiring place. This is a photographer’s paradise :-)
Great photos my friend!
Yes, that's a great place, also the forest is beautiful and behind the forest there is a smaller stream which is much better than this one in my eyes 🙂
Thank you very much for your kind comment @bambuka, I wish you a great day 🙂
I hope you show it :-)
Wish you have a nice day friend!
I have already showed some photos, but never mentioned that it is this small stream ;)
One photo of this stream is the first one in this post with the mossy green boulders. Somehow I don't want other tourists to find this place, because it is very clean and you don't see any "footprints" of tourists there, if you know what I mean 😉
Have a great day too and a wonderful weekend my friend 🙂
I understand you very well. In my forests, too, there are corners about which I do not even speak to friends. Unfortunately, such places are becoming less and less. But the forest is big. I can find others if necessary. But it is sad.
Happy holiday to you!
It's good to keep the location of such places for yourself 🙂
The normal tourist stays on the tourist paths, but some are curious, such as I am very curious to find new places. But you will never find any waste from me nor would I destroy anything or disturb the animals - I'm no "normal" tourist :)
Some places should stay secrets, because they become less and less, as you say, because tourism is always searching for beautiful places they can "sell" to paying tourists. But keeping their location for us will help them to stay natural and clean.
!invest_vote
I support :)
If there is a choice to go to your favorite familiar place or go to unfamiliar corners of the forest, I choose the second. Also ... I try not to leave any traces after myself. Even the cut mushrooms I either hang on the trees for birds and squirrels, or mask in moss so that they do not attract anyone.
The best forest for me is dead corners where people do not appear :)
Oh, you are "worse" than me 😉
I know the forests where I usually go to, and I also try to explore unfamiliar places there, but I don't blur my tracks, although I try to make no footprints ;)
I used to do wild hunting. Now I changed the gun to the camera ... but the hunter's habits remained :-))
Then I understand everything and so I believe you also have the patience of the hunters, which I really don't have. Even half an hour sitting and watching is a very, very long time for me ;)
You're right, I have enough patience :)
There were cases when I sat in an ambush for several hours almost without moving. The boar has a very sensitive hearing and smell.
Now it sometimes helps in work :)
More patience would help me at work too, because I work fast and many times I get angry when I have to wait for colleagues ;)
I think that your temperament helps you when riding a bike, just be careful :-)
You have no idea how careful I ride my bike - especially since my son has had a little accident with his bike about 1.5 years ago I drive even more carefully :)
This is very correct. Two wheels are not four. I felt it well when I broke my collarbone :-)
Tell Johann, is the Beehive website slowing down only for me, or is this overall speed?
Accidents always hurt - if not yourself then somebody else and your vehicle, which costs money, what hurts too ;)
So it is better to be careful to avoid that pain, but still have as much fun as possible ;) I have luckily never had an accident with my bike before.
I'm using hive.blog and peakd.com and both are running as usual - it must be your internet connection.
It was a bike on wet grass after rain. The bike was riding me. We switched roles :-)))
So my internet is bad. No wonder I bought a new router, I urgently need to change...
Riding a bike on wet surface is never a good idea and I try to avoid riding in the rain, but if I have to I drive slow and very carefully.
I don't know if it's your internet, because @pixelfan has asked me the same, and I have noticed that when I vote the indicators don't change their color as fast as they did before. But it isn't that bad, so I don't mind.
!invest_vote
That day I had no choice. I was returning from the forest through the field. And before that it rained. It was a paddle and I lost my guard.
Now I'm careful too :-))
Some learn from their mistakes, like you ... some don't, like me, because I have been riding today although everywhere have been dark rain clouds, but I managed to not get wet ;)
... and this is good :-)
Yepp 😉

Nice this little valley photography.
Good morning and thank you very much that you like the photos of my favorite valley in Slovenia, @kamrunnahar, have a great day and weekend 🙂
Stunning shots! The September 2019 photo is my favourite, it's magical! Shared :-)
Thank you so much for your nice compliment and for sharing my post Keith, I really appreciate that 🙂
This is one of my favorite places and that photo was actually shot at another little stream behind the forest, but I don't want other people to know that, because it should stay tourist free ;)

Howdy sir johannpiber! Holy smokes, that makes me want to travel. What a paradise looking scene and scenery! I can see why you miss this spot!
I was just about to go to bed when I saw your comments - good evening @janton 🙂
Hopefully soon I will be able to go there again - it's just about an hour of driving away from me. I wonder what it looks like now in springtime when nobody has been there for months. I love that place and the title is honest, I miss that valley.
Thank you so much that you like the photos my friend. I hope you are well and everthing is fine 🙂
Hey sir johannpiber, I hope the restrictions are lifted soon before the summer is over. How is it looking over there? It is not pretty here in TX. The numbers are going up but we still opened back up for business yesterday and I hope that wasn't a mistake.
Today our shops have opened again and the restrictions have loosened. Until the end of May almost everything should be about "normal" again - a so called "new normal". We will see what this is and how it will work.
People are already happy and if you drive or go somewhere you would not believe that there were any measures for many weeks.
I do also hope that this wasn't a mistake.
What about the borders to the country, are they opened to so the stupid tourists can come back?
Nope, all borders are still closed and only people who work in the other countries or deliveries are allowed to cross the borders. Of course there are some other reasons too which allow you to leave your country or enter ours, but I don't know them.
There won't be much tourism this year - maybe Germans will be allowed to spend their money here in Austria, but that's not sure yet. We will see in a few weeks how it all works.
Ah Germans...yes..some of the most successful Amazon book sellers with this program are from Germany! I saw an interview with one of them, he'd only been working at it for 8 mmonths and he was already making $16,000 per month.
These are great numbers, and I really believe if you do it right you can make that money, but there is certainly a lot of work to do to sell that much.
!BEER
I agree sir johannpiber. Lots of work and it takes a few months to build up to it. Luckily I'm a workhorse. I started working 12 hour days when I was in the 5th grade. Not sure how old I was..12?...and the work days got alot longer from then on!
Wow, that's what I would also call a work horse - 12 hour days with 12? I don't work more than 8-9 or 10 hours. A few times a month I'm over night at work, what means tomorrow morning at 6am I'll be for about 32 hours there. Have you noticed that I wrote "at work" and not "working"? That's because I can sleep at night for a few hours and don't work all the time ;) ... so I'm no working horse ;) lol
!BEER
!invest_vote
Howdy again sir johannpiber! Yes, when I was a kid on the farm we worked 16 to 17 hour days 7 days a week. It was brutal. The only thing I can say about it is that it kept me out of trouble. All I did was work so I had no social life or any time for one.
Then when we built our real estate business we worked 12 to 14 hour days, sometimes 16 and we did that 7 days a week. We worked like that for 10 years before we took a day off. Oh, and that was 365 days a year, we especially had extra work on Christmas and all the holidays. It was insane. lol. No days off and never any holidays.
The children of our farmers had and still have to work a ot on the farms too, but nowadays it's not so hard for them anymore.
But you seem to have only been working your whole life long - that would be too much for me - I need more time off work than at work ;) lol
But you have my full respect, honestly, I am glad that I have a safe job and get my money each month :)
!BEER
You only get paid once a month? No way. That can't be what you mean. You would have to have alot of discipline to make it last for a whole month. But yes, I was working like a madman my whole life and I hope I can decrease my work hours from now on. Maybe even enjoy some life!
That's normal here - we get our money once at the beginning of the month on our bank account. Of course, there might be some jobs where you get paid weekly or even daily, but I wouldn't know any.
Most of the things we have to pay monthly are paid in the first days of the month (rent, insurances...), so I don't see a problem with getting the salary in one piece ;)
I think we have more regulations about working times and such than you have over there, and it's not that easy for companies to fire employees.
!BEER
Oh, very interesting sir johannpiber. Over here, unless it is a government job, anyone can be fired for anything at any time and there are no regulations about working times except that any time worked over 40 hours is supposed to be overtime pay.
I don't think people would put up with getting paid just once a month over here. Almost all pay is done weekly.
Yes, 40 hours a week is normal here too and every hour more should be paid better and more.
I think you are used of your system and we are used of ours, although I think our system is better for the employees.
Cheers and !BEER
Yes, it sounds like your system is better for the employees but our government jobs here are probably similar. It's dang near impossible to get fired from a government job here. So the government workers are famous for being lazy and not caring about anything because they know they don't have to.
Right, I could do almost anything, even go to jail, but still they couldn't fire me ;) lol
But that depends on what I would have done, of course, and although they could not fire me, they have other possibilities to punish me.
They are famous for that around the world and it might be true for many government workers, but times have changed and calling "all of them" lazy and not caring about anything is wrong.
!BEER
Well, calling all of them lazy is an exaggeration but in the U.S. it isn't a big exaggeration at all. lol.
I know many of them too and many of them are exactly how you say.
They are a problem, because they only cost the money of the tax payers, which includes me and makes me sometimes really angry.

Howdy tonight sir johannpiber! We have always known that government workers were generally bad as far as attitude and laziness but when Mrs. J. joined the county government as a jail guard we couldn't believe how bad it was.
We didn't know it was possible to be at work all day and get paid for doing nothing. lol. At least half the workers there would be fired immediately if they worked for a private company!
OK, my friend, I have to admit that you are very right, because I do know quite a few of such individuals, who get paid for doing nothing but moaning all day long about the hard work they do, but they only moan, and if once in a while they really have something to do they moan even more ;)
Cheers and !BEER
lol...I guess everyone has those workers who do nothing and think they are overworked! lol. It is amazing isn't it? If they actually tried to work they might not have time to moan and complain all day!
That's what I always say - if they did work instead of moaning it would be an easier life for all of us, because the work they don't do has to be done by somebody else.
Cheers and !BEER
And that somebody else is usually you! lol. That sucks but it seems to be the same situation all over the world. Some people are gifted at what they do and some people are gifted at not working while they are at work!
Sometimes I am, but not always, because our department is divided into 6 sub departments, and my colleagues know what they have to do and moaning is only allowed when the work is done ;) lol
That's so very true what you say - some people are gifted to do nothing but : they can do whatever they want and nobody will tell them to work, because somebody else is there to do it while they tell everybody how much work they have to do.
Cheers and !BEER
Isn't that amazing about those kind of workers who get away with no working somehow? It's a special gift but I don't know how to catergorize that gift or what you call it. lol.
Well, I don't know either, but in "normal" they usually don't stay long, because they only cost money. When the work for the government they might have a chance to have a life without doing much.
But as I have told you before, it isn't like that in all departments and areas - at least here in Austria much has changed and most are working really hard for their money.
Cheers and !BEER

WOW! The waterfall is very beautiful no matter whether it's in Autumn or Winter. And I'm quite sure that "it will be mighty and beautiful" in Spring, as you said.
Apart from the waterfall itself, I also love the surrounding nature; i.e. "the beautiful mossy green boulders", "the beautiful beech tree forest", "the stream", etc.
Great capture! Thanks so much for sharing. These make me feel really refreshed. ;)
It makes me happy that you enjoyed my photos @tangmo 🙂
This spring I won't be able to get there, but I am pretty sure, that next spring will even be better than this year, and the autumn is also very beautiful there. Hopefully until then the borders will be open again.
Thank you so much for your kind words and compliments @tangmo, I wish you a great Sunday. Take care and stay healthy.
!invest_vote
My pleasure! I do hope that the borders will be open again very soon and I look forward to seeing your beautiful photos until then. ;)
Many thanks for your kind wishes. Have a wonderful week and stay healthy! ;)
Our measures have loosened and I do hope that I can go somewhere soon, because it's getting really boring to visit the same few places all the time ;)
Thank you very much again and have a great week @tangmo 🙂
Yeah! I do really hope so.... ;)
You're welcome! And thanks so much for your wishes. Take care.... ;))
