Getting Wet

In the western Julian Alps close to the border with Slovenia runs Rio del Lago in the valley by the same name. The walk up there was memorable, though not without a splash or two.

    1. This is an old one from two years back. We are flooded here still – not going out any time soon.

      1. I still think that you should document the flood. You might get some nice shots.

  5. Beautiful soothing sights and sounds, Paula. 🙂 I love that when I switched to the map the music went on playing.
    I often wonder if I should include a map on mine, but then I think that if anyone was going to attempt the walk they would Google it anyway. But it’s nice to see the location so thank you for the kind thought. I’m just going to choose a rock to sit on to dabble my feet.
    Thanks, Paula! 🙂

  9. I want more photos. This is a beauty. I don’t think I’ve seen your water before – both movement and clarity. I love the brown patch in the foreground. You keep showing me what glories I missed when I was in the vicinity.

    1. Thank you, Meg, but you know I post sparingly 😉 I am sorry if I don’t visit very often, I am getting busier by the minute and still haven’t started preparing for my trip to Italy next week.

      1. I know you post sparingly! And you always leave me hungering for more, although I love the sparsity of your posts: an elegance I can’t begin to aspire too.

        Absolutely no obligation to visit, although I very much enjoy your company when you do. Relish Italy. Maiden voyage for the new camera?

        1. I love being in your company too, just explaining I’m fretting to finish everything before I go, and I want to give full attention to everything I do. I hope we can still be friends when I come back on 12th October :). Yes, you put it beautifully – it will be her maiden voyage :D. Thank you, Meg.
