Ljubljana's Winter Stories

Union.SLO · December 8th, 2010, 11:42 PM

The study year has started quite a long ago, unforgetable summer holidays are just a nostalgic memory for the following months and the air temperature outside has finally reached the freezing point. Foggy mornings and early sunsets are just an everyday routine. As it's proper for the winter, snow has whitened lawns and rooftops. That's the time, suprisingly, I love to discover the city I live in, most.

To taste a piece of Ljubljana's winter scenes and life, take a photo trip through my photos. Hope you'll enyoj.

Nice pics. Are they HDR? They look just right, not overdone at all (that is assuming that they are HDR shots

).

the city looks magical in the snow, and I also LOVE your thread title!

El Mariachi · December 18th, 2010, 06:47 PM

really nice work. Cities and landscapes in the snow look really good, just sucks having to shovel it all out.

Union.SLO · December 18th, 2010, 07:48 PM

Tnx

This season there's really no lack of snow, contrary to last few years. Last night another 20cm...

Someone unfamiliar with the city might think its much larger than it really is, if looking at some of those photos of Ljubljana's downtown
