This post is part of my Calendar 2018. Every month I have a look at all the photos taken the same month last year and choose my favourite twenty. Sounds easier than it is.
Last August I spent in Slovenia just like this one. I was moving between Piran and Ljubljana with day trips to several other Slovenian towns, clicking left and right. No wonder that I had one hundred candidate photos in no time at all.
The final selection process was painful but here are twenty winners. A few you have seen already but the majority I haven’t posted yet. Welcome to Slovenia.
Spotted in Škofja Loka. Almost Manja. Now to Ljubljana in nine images. More flags and the iconic Skyscraper. Gelato at Cacao with Hare Krishna fly-by. Across the Ljubljanica river. A basketball court in Savsko naselje, near where mother grew up. A woman, a man and some eyeballs. KUD France Prešeren was the traditional venue of Trnfest, a daily August free get-together event. This year you have to pay. Ugly. Brina and her group in PicniConcert at the Ljubljana Castle. Sis in Ljubljana Botanical Gardens. Also there. Are you on sale or not on sale? Giant chessboard at the Celje Castle. Žužemberk town. Žužemberk cemetery. And to finish, Piran in all its splendour. Fountain in good light. The blossom of passion fruit or maracuja. Thuram is a bit tired. To the sea. Hardly touched. It really looked this way. Back to safety.
Some great images you took last Aug! It’s challenging, I can imagine the process. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos with us. 💖

Great collection, dear MM. Love that passionfruit flower, looking like it wants to be in the middle of a jungle somewhere. It’s my favorite fruit!

Thank you, SMSW. 🙂 Yesterday I had company of a biologist and I showed him this photo and he complained that this is not the edible maracuja but an ornamental relative. You can still eat it but there is not much taste to it. The flower of the real one has more hair. Anyway, I’m glad you like it. Jungle moving up (maybe, in the future).
