The church and castle at Bled are a famous scene any time of day or year.
The river winds through the historic city center
The old city hall dominates the square
The sunset view from a tall downtown building
Churches dot the Slovenia countryside and it seems everyone is litup at night
Fog in the valleys surrounds everything as the morning sun rises
The forests are densely wooded
Frost coats the old leaves littering the ground
Snow blankets the mountains higher up along the edge of the alps
As the storms move through it can be quite dramatic
Beautiful waterfalls dot the hillsides
Hiking trails are abundant throughout the countryside
and they lead to many different lakes, streams, and waterfalls
The rivers in Slovenia run fast, cold, and clear
It's hard to imagine a more intense aquamarine color
Iron work has long been a Slovenia specialty and the dragon is a common theme
This iron work sculpture in an old town famous for it's iron work commemorates the solidarity of the Slovenia peoples
The church at Bled captures a ray of light breaking through the clouds
It's a beautiful scene from every angle as one walks around the lake
But lake Bled is only one of many beautiful lakes to be seen in Slovenia
And of course there is a church on the shore of most
Old and new cabins dot the countryside housing farmers, livestock, and summer visitors
