Self portrait - sysadmin

 

As I've said a few times, self portraits are quite forgiving as the subject usually does as they're told. This was taken at work one late summer afternoon.

Breginjski kot

 

This snap of the valley Breginjski kot (Breginj Combe when translated to English) was taken during a bike ride from Kobarid towards the Nadiža river (taken with an iPhone). We spent a week long holiday camping near Kobarid and did quite a bit of light mountain biking.

Firefighting helicopter

This was taken from my balcony recently, there was a series of small forest fires in the woods nearby. I've since walked by that area and the fires were contained pretty quickly. On a side note, this photo was taken with a 40 year old lens (mounted on a new Fujifilm camera).

Beast mode

Recently visited an off-road racing event held in a large open quarry. I really enjoyed the day and crawling all over the huge open area - the cars were obviously fun to watch as well.

Rainbow

Ran across a nice rainbow while out on a bike ride - this was around Lake Cerknica, looking towards the north. The photo was taken with an iPhone, pulled hastily from a pocket. I've ridden quite a bit in this area, both to the top of mount Slivnica (it's off shot to the left) and around the forests of Javornik Hills (behind us to the south). The first is nice but can be quite crowded (it's a favorite easy hiking destination), the second is kind of boring with no mountain bike paths, mainly just logging roads.

Warm light

I took this during the same airplane flight as my last post. The funny part is that I needed a half hour to find the exact location of this church - specifically, the church of St. Nikolaj. The airplane flew quite a bit farther than I remembered before doing our loop around Triglav.

Triglav vol. 2

We recently went on a scenic airplane ride around Slovenia's Mount Triglav, which I previously posted some years ago.
