On the Way to Mt. Javornik

You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different,

and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?(J. B. Priestley)

When I no longer thrill to the first snow of the season,

I'll know I'm growing old. (Lady Bird Johnson)

Winter

On the way to Mt. Javornik.

There is nothing in the world more beautiful than forest clothed to its very hollows in snow.

It is the still ectasy of nature, wherin every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed,

every intricacy of twig , is clade with radiance. (William Sharp)

Winter in Slovenia

On the way to Mt. Celkov Vrh.

Global warming? It was -18 degrees C, in the morning, 20 December.

The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. (Author unknown)

Every mile is two in winter. (George Herbert)

Notice I

My computer has been time and again the target of malicious attacks by computor hackers (I suspect the Slovenian leftists). They have been trying to intimidate me and prevent me from posting. Of course the stuff on the left side of my blog is incensing their rage - not the pretty pictures. I see that at the moment the stuff under Crimes is contaminated. If you are interested what is it look in google: Crimes Committed by Totalitarian Regimes. It is safe.
