October In Slovenia

I spent a week in October this year in Slovenia. My first stop was at Bled:

Next day I took my way to Kobarid. The Big Kozjak ...:

... and the Small Kozjak waterfall:

I spent the next two nights in a campsite in Bovec. Morning I drove up along the Koritnica creek:

The Fratarica waterfall:

Along the Soča river:

Towards the Erjavčeva chalet I stopped at the Vršič pass:

Next morning at the same place:

At the Pišnica creek:

Last morning I woke up in Bled again:

Banat: La Văioaga Waterfall In Spring

3 years ago in autumn I photographed the La Văioaga waterfall in Banat, having no success with the Beușnița waterfall as it had no water. This time I thought maybe in spring there would be more water. Unfortunately it was almost dry this time too. La Văioaga however had as much water as in autumn:

Next day we had a short trip in the Retezat mountains:

 

Padis: Moments From January

Perhaps there is some snow left on the trees at Padis... I started with this hope to Padis at dawn on Saturday. And there was, but only on places protected from the sun, as the valley of Crișul Pietros river:

View from the Boga belvedere next morning:

Retezat Mountains: Waterfalls Instead Of Rhododendrons

I set out to Retezat Mountains for Rhododendrons but it was over. So I had to be satisfied with waterfalls and lakes:

Lolaia Waterfall

In the "Bad valley":

The Maria-Magdalena waterfall:

Over the Pietrele creek:

Rodna Mountains: Looking For Rhododendrons

This year I visited tha Lala Lakes again hoping to admire the sight of mountain slopes full of rhododendrons.

In the first evening I climbed on the crest and the Ineu peak to admire the sunset. Other people came up here for the same reason:

Next day at dawn:

Sunrise at Big Lala Lake:

I was hoping to see more rhododendron flowers but unfortunately this year they were not in full bloom yet.

I decided not to stay one more night, instead I would go down and visit the Horses waterfall next morning:

Great Fatra

 

I haven't been to Fatra mountains yet, but I got here in the end of October. On the first day I made a tour touching Tlstá and Ostrá peaks. At the Tlstá peak I found a group of resting chamois:

I was mostly curious about the spectacular peak of Ostrá:

It's impressive! I will return to this place in the future! :)

On my way home I stopped for a few shots at the foot of the High Tatras:

Finally I made a rest at the Zadielska Gorge:
