Makedonsko devojče

Just got back from Macedonija this morning, after a one week vacation. Together with some friends we spent a few days in Skopje, then went south to a town called Kavadarci for a couple of days, followed by another weekend in Skopje.

This was my third time in Macedonija, unforgettable as always, thanks to people like Elena M., pictured above, and Elena R., who invited us to stay with her family in Kavadarci. For the time being, I've got plenty of work ahead, but a small part of me is already thinking about the next time we see each other again :)

Hi there

For those complaining I haven't posted for a while. A little monkey, chilling and relaxing on abandoned temple somewhere in east Bali. I adore those creatures. This guy has a "Beckam" haircut.

Garden rain

I just bought a new camera (a Canon EOS 60D) and had to test out the video. Since it was raining out this is what I quickly whipped up :) All of the shots are from around my house.

Climbing in Arco 2011

A video I made from photographs and video clips taken during our recent stay in Arco. The video was made with Apple's iMovie software and all of the photos and video clips were recorded with a small Panasonic camera. Making video is actually quite fun, though there's so much to learn. I think you can expect to see more such videos in the future ;)

As for the climbing, this was during the holidays before the first of May. We spent about a week near Arco, where we've been a few times (see here and here). It's a great place with lots of rock all around, a friendly atmosphere, and around four or five hours from Ljubljana.
 

The Ultimate

Not much to say, after all, it's written a few times - this must be one ultimate machine.

Vipera berus

I went trad climbing today to the little-known Slovenian mountain called Kogel, and during the walk to the wall we ran into this fellow, the common European Adder (locally known as a Gad). I've seen snakes before in the wild, even poisonous ones, but this one is the biggest so far (as well as the closest). We estimate that it was around 60 cm long, though his hiss was surprisingly loud (you could hear it clearly from about 10 meters away).

A creature in slovenian sea

It's true, we don't have a lot of sea in Slowenia. But the Jellyfish can still be a monster. Harmless though.
