a Walk a While ago | Wednesday Walk | Šunikov vodni gaj

This walk through the Šunik Water Grove was quite a while ago at the beginning of July and I haven't been at this place again since.

Šunikov vodni gaj, Slovenia

Šunikov vodni gaj, Slovenia - Wednesday Walk

The Šunik Water Grove (Šunikov vodni gaj) in the Lepena Valley in Slovenia belongs to my favorite places, but although we can travel to Slovenia without problems or restrictions I couldn't manage to get there in the past months. Either the weather was bad or I had no time ... or my son didn't lend me my car 😉

Vršič Pass
❖ please click the image for fullsize view ❖

To get to the Lepena Valley I have to drive over two mountain passes, of which one is the Vršič Pass. This is the road over the Pass. The 50 hairpin bends in the northern part of the pass road are partly cobblestone.

There was still not much going on in the valley when I was there, maybe because it was a bit rainy too - my luck, because I was alone there and had the place to myself 😁

Sometimes the clouds opened a little gap and let the sun shine through.

Apart from a few raindrops which didn't matter at all it was beautiful as always. There was much water flowing in the brook and everything was growing green along the path and in the forest.

I have posted these waterfalls many times in the past months and years, but believe me, I have seen them even more often and I still love to be there and watch the water, and listen to the sound.

I haven't done much editing with these photos. They have been waiting on my hard disk since July and today I remembered them when I thought of what I could post for the #WednesdayWalk. Due to the lack of time I have at the moment I have done only a few basic editings in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Thank you so much for your kind comment, dear @zirochka, and you are right, in Autumn it looks great there too. That's why I'll try to find the time to get there soon.

When the weather is nice I have my motorbike and a good thing is that my wife has also a car which I can "borrow" sometimes 😊 When the Hive moons I'll buy a new car 😉

My daughter just told me yesterday that she finally knows what is the car of her dream -Mercedes something SLR, lol. Not bad at all, considering that now her income is enough only for daily meal and some cloth.
I think we all should keep our dreams and goals as high as we can 😎💪

That's only a short visit of the waterfalls I think, because I'm afraid from next week on many of our measures will be back.

All we have done right during the first wave we have done wrong later, just because people were impatient and careless.

Thank you so much for these nice words, my friend 😊

I know you are still on holidays, @cezary-io. Please take care and come back home healthy.

I love that place and even more the forest around or the second brook behind the forest which is not in the tourist guides 😉
But I am afraid that I will not be able to go there again in the next weeks, because my wife has just told me that from Monday on many of the measures are back. I don't know more about it yet, but I will keep you informed.
That's all because of stupid, impatient and careless people.

Thank you, dear Jo, I hope you have a wonderful day 🤗

Morning Hannes,

Yes I heard measures are back in many places because of the resurge of the virus. So far everything on the Island has remained the same but some of the other provinces have tightened up on restrictions, such as, masks are mandatory and gatherings are more limited. Will this ever end?

We are going into Charlottetown early this morning to the car dealership to have the brakes checked out. The Chevrolet Cruze is still under warranty. It’s a good car and a nice size but I think it needs new brake pads. Not that I would know anything about a vehicle but there is a swishing sound coming from the rear when braking.

Hopefully not too many forward measures have been taken back in your area. 🤫

Be safe and have a wonderful Frigg’s Day dear Hannes.🤗

Prost! and a !BEER

Good morning Jo,

first: I agree with you, what you say sounds like there's something with the brakes.

The virus was never gone. It was only waiting for it's chance to hit us when we think it's over ... what a surprise 🤣
I don't care about the virus and I don't care about the measures, although I hate the masks, but I can't understand how our government acts since months. Almost every day we get new instructions - changes and modifications of what is allowed and what isn't. That's annoying - there are no clear rules at the moment. Maybe when we have a complete lockdown again it will be better 😉
They have handled the first lockdown so well and now so bad. I only hope they still know what they do.

Sorry for bothering you with all this Jo. These are only my thoughts and how I see the situation here.
I hope PEI and the rest of Canada is smarter than us.

I wish you also a wonderful Frigg's day, dear Jo 🤗🌞

Never any bother Hannes, I love hearing what’s going on in your end of the planet. The pandemic has dragged on so long it is getting folks depressed. some places here ask if you will wear a mask when entering their establishment but I don’t like wearing one either.

It was the brakes and the rotors that were wore down in the car. Good to get them replaced.

Forecasts are Hurricane Teddy will impact Atlantic Canada by Tuesday or Wednesday.. Maybe Category 1 by then. But today looks sunny so I’ll just enjoy that for now. 🙂

Have a wonderful afternoon dear Hannes.🤗

To me it isn't depressing but annoying and also boring.

Good you've replaced the brakes. For me these are the most important things in a car besides the radio 😉

Afternoon Hannes 😊

Yes, the brakes and radio are important.😀

I hope Murphy’s Law is not in effect the next few days.

It seems like everything happens at once. Hurricane Teddy is coming this way,The driveway is to be paved on Monday and Hubby has an appointment in Charlottetown on Tuesday. The car has to be located somewhere so we can reach it and not drive on the asphalt until it’s settled.

I’m sure everything will work out but it is funny how one can go months without anything happening and then BOOM!

The latest forecast on Teddy. By the looks of this it will impact Nova Scotia and touch this end of our small Island by Wednesday.

Oh thank you, we have had a beautiful and sunny day. I have been at a big reservoir with Austria's highest dam wall in the morning and in the afternoon I have gone for a ride. It hasn't been hot, but warm.

Hi Johann🙂,

Yes, this coming hurricane will blow that Murphy’s Law right off the Island😄.

There’s lots of warnings to tie everything down and put lawn furniture away so it won’t get blown away.

There’s a big crew outside to pave the driveway. They were late getting here. it’s a circular driveway and quite large. It. I should be taking a couple photos of it. I’ll go do that.

Nice you are having warm sunny days, enjoying a ride and being at the reservoir.

Have a wonderful Tuesday dear Hannes 🤗

Good morning Jo,
the hurricane will not even need to blow away Murphy's Law because Murphy was here yesterday and blew clouds in front of my sunset and I think he will stay here for a while, just in case I want to try to Photograph another sunset 😉

So you want to photograph the workers at work - only for documentary purposes I suppose … this reminds me on a tv advertisement, but I can't remember what it was about ;)

At the moment there's a lot to do at work and the weather forecast predicts cold weather and rain for the next days and the weekend.
So, sitting in the office with a lot of work will not be that bad ;)

I hope your weather is better, dear Jo, and the hurricane will be a light breeze 😃

Well, well well @johannpiber, it's about time you take me for a walk in that absolutely stunning forest! 🤣🤣🤣

So that water looks soo crystal clear and perfect for swimming in, but I imagine that it's pretty cold though....Very unfortunate that it is if that's the case, but on the bright side, as you say, you have it all to yourself, so there's that.

What a magical place and such exceptional photos to show it off thank you!

Another travel destination to add to my list! By the way, have they found my key yet??! 🤣🤣🤣

Now you've shown me yours, so I'll have to show you mine...😁 forest that is...lol...

I can't wait to see more of your stunning photo tours!

So, shall we do it again? Next Wednesday perhaps? 😁

How long does it take you to drive there?

Stunning photography where you can feel the clouds slowly caressing the mountain side going along the valley to be beautiful mountain streams.

Well immersed and rejuvenated just seeing these wonderful waterfalls and flowing streams with moss evident everywhere to the healthy clean nature in the area.

Definitely it would be a favourite here, if closer to home Johann.

These are "long exposure" shots. Anything with a longer shutter speed than "normal" can be called long exposure. I would say from about 1/3 second or so, but it depends on the situation.
