Crossing borders again | Slovenia in detail

I hope you don't expect big vistas or huge waterfalls in this post.

Intimate Landscape Photography - Slovenia in detail

Intimate Landscape Photography
Slovenia in detail

Last Monday I have crossed the border to Slovenia for the first time again since last year. It was a strange, but happy feeling to see the places again where I have been so often in the past years.

My first target that day was my favourite forest in the Lepena Valley and I wandered through the Šunik Water Grove (Šunikov vodni gaj). Nothing had changed apart from a new bridge and some trees which have fallen during Winter. The area is still as beautiful as it was before.

Of course, I took a couple of photos of the big waterfall there, but then I decided to look for more details this time. There are so many great photos of the waterfalls there on the internet that it's hard to find new compositions, but not so many people take photos of the little falls and cascades or of other smaller scenes.

The textures, patterns and colours of the rocks, the moss on the boulders and the water itself are amazing, hence the title Slovenia in detail.

This kind of photography is called "Intimate Landscape Photography" - images of more or less small details in larger scenes which might often look abstract and/or arouse curiosity about the big picture.
For more information on Intimate Landscape Photography, please ask Google or your preferred search engine.

The waterfall in the photo below hasn't been that huge at all anyway, but it was very nice, and even more I liked these little cascades.

In this scene I liked the little waterfall on the left and the fallen tree which still had green leaves on. When I was there last year, this tree has still been standing on the edge of the gorge. The texture of the rock on the left side is amazing.

Maybe I should have got closer to the scenes to take even more intimate images, but I just didn't feel like it - maybe next time.

The sun shone sparsely through the thick canopy of leaves above me and sometimes only illuminated small spots with warm morning light.

It almost looks as if there is Gold under the layer that has grown on the rocks, at least it appears golden through the scratches in the layer. Maybe it is Gold ... I'd better have a closer look next time ;)

Orange stones and boulders, mossy overgrown, clearest water - these are reasons why I love this place so much. But there's even more which I want to explore again next time.

It was quite early in the morning when I arrived at the Šunik Water Grove, and so I have had the whole area for me alone for a while until the first tourists arrived, but they didn't bother me at all this time because I was happy to be back.

It was a pleasure to be there again, but I didn't have much time - I've been driving my wife's car and needed to be back at 2pm to give her a lift home from work. So the forest and the other stream, which the tourists haven't found yet, have to wait till next time what certainly will be very soon :)

And here you are almost at the end of my today's post. I hope you enjoyed these a little bit different photos I showed you this time.

After the Šunik Water Grove I drove to another nice waterfall, the Mlinarica Waterfall, but this one I will show you in one of my next posts, as well as in another post I will show you the big and other waterfalls in the Šunik Water Grove.

How lovely you were able to visit Slovenia again Hannes to take in the beauty there and bring it back in photographs.

”The textures, patterns and colours of the rocks, the moss on the boulders and the water itself are amazing, hence the title Slovenia in detail.”

Indeed your captures of the waterfalls and surrounding details are beautiful. It would be hard to pick a favorite.

Have a wonderful Frigg’s day dear Hannes.😊☀️

Good afternoon and thank you so much for your nice words, Jo 😊 I'm really happy to be able to travel again.

This is a different kind of photography and I'm learning. I like it and will certainly take such photos more often. Thank you very much that you like these images too, dear Jo, you have a wonderful Frigg's day too 🤗🌞

Hey my friend @cezary-io,

yes, I have been waiting for quite a while and although my country is as beautiful, some places on the other side of the border are better, much better 😄

Thank you very much for your kind comment, my friend, I hope you don't have to work during the weekend and will have some nice days off work 😊🌞

I think you are completely right JJ, 30 years ago we have been at our borders to the old Yugoslavia and they were even talking about a war, but it was all good 😃

Thank you very much my friend, I love this little country south of us and believe that becoming independent was best that could happen for this area.

Wow! Yes these are all Wow photos Hannes.
I also love the small things in life and you did yourself proud with all of the shots in this post.
Slovenia is indeed lovely and no wonder that you like over there.

Just a warning here, don't say that thee are gold under those falls as soon you will have bus loads of people from here to start digging for the gold 🤣

Blessings.

Thank you very much for your kind compliments, Zac 🤗

I have taken such photos from time to time, but on that day I loved to take them. Maybe in future I will do intimate landscape photography even more.

This treasure is mine, I'm the only one who knows under which waterfall the gold is hidden and you can see it only when the sun shines right 😎

You would have to be a dwarf to bathe in these waterfalls, my friend - I would say that the highest in these photos is under 1.5 meters high 😄
But the cold water from the mountain would certainly refresh you.

Thank you very much kindly, @kohsamui99 😊

Good evening @johannpiber

What a magical beauty ... I also expected fairies by the waterfalls
..🥰
An amazing collection of pictures and I see why you keep coming back here all the time😁

And I wish I was closer...

I hope you walk somewhere this weekend too🤗

The eighth photo is a place for fairies and magical water that does not age😉

Good morning dear @Suzana72,

at first I want to thank you very much for your kind comment and the nice words 😀

No walking this weekend, I have been sitting in the saddle of my bike yesterday and so will I do today 😁 The weather is just too good at the moment. We have had a massive thunderstorm last night, but today it's best weather again.

Wishing you also a great Sunday and a wonderful new week ahead ☺️🌞

PS, the fairies have hidden because there have already been a few tourists around 😉
