Autumn Colors, Cairns and Fog / Herbstfarben, Steinmännchen und Nebel

in #photography4 years ago

On my last trip over the Vršič Pass in Slovenia I also passed the place where many cairns are standing.

Auf meiner letzten Fahrt über den Vršič Pass in Slowenien kam ich auch an der Stelle vorbei, an welcher viele Steinmännchen stehen.

It is a small gravel parking lot in a curve, where apparently many people take a break and build small stone towers.
Hundreds of these little stone towers stood around the last time I passed this square, and I promised my friend @tattoodjay photos of these many stone men.
Unfortunately, somebody must have had something against my plan and cleaned up, because now only a few intact cairns were to be seen, sorry JJ - maybe next year.

Es handelt sich um einen kleinen Schotterparkplatz in einer Kurve, wo anscheinend viele Menschen Pause machen und so ein kleines Steinmännchen errichten.
Als ich zuletzt dort vorbeigekommen bin, standen hunderte dieser Türmchen herum, und ich habe meinem Freund @tattoodjay Fotos dieser vielen Steinmännchen versprochen gehabt.
Leider dürfte irgendjemand etwas dagegen gehabt und aufgeräumt haben, weil nun nur noch wenige intakte Steinmännchen zu sehen gewesen sind, sorry JJ - vielleicht nächstes Jahr.

Most of the trees in the area had already turned autumnal yellow and orange, and when I was there, the fog had cleared a bit and the rain had stopped, so I did not get wet.

Die Bäume in der ganzen Gegend hatten sich zum Großteil schon herbstlich gelb und orange verfärbt, und als ich dort gewesen bin, hat sich der Nebel ein Stück in die Höhe verzogen und der Regen etwas nachgelassen, so dass ich nicht nass geworden bin.

Such nice replies would at least earn double !BEER - but such a feature is not implemented to the beerlover bot yet 👍😉

Wel any !BEER is a good beer in my mind :)

cairns are somehow universal...

Yes, they are everywhere, but I have never made one myself.
Thanks for your comment, @torico 🙂

I can see them. They remind me of the story of a Stoneman I once wrote about with my kids. In turn we wrote one or two lines. Somehow they remind me of the giant Balaton too. 🤔

Happy day. 💕

A few weeks before I made these photos there have been hundreds of these cairns all around there. The winter and the snow would have destroyed them anyway, but I thought I could take some nice photos of the cairns, because I haven't seen so many of them on one place before.
Thank you very much for your nice comment, @wakeupkitty 🙂

They are really great plus remind me of the "monsters" in my #MarchMadness story although they are greenish and glow in the dark. 😍

I could go there at night and stealthily paint the cairns with green luminescent paint 😉 lol
Wish you a great day and weekend, @wakeupkitty 🙂

@johannpiber If you make a picture after you did I have prove my giants ecist 😁. Great idea. Great weekend to you too. 💕

Haha, I wish you a great weekend too, @wakeupkitty 🙂

Amazing shots! A landscape in the fog looks charmed.
By the way, now i remembered, once I saw a "spot of stone towers" on Path of Gods. It is a trail in mountains along the coast line. Remember, I was very surprised trying to guess who made them and what for :)

I feel like your posts make me go to Austria next year )))

Thank you very much for your nice comment, dear @zirochka 🙂
You can see these stone cairns everywhere, and when I have seen the first ones I have not known, what they are good for ... I still cannot see a reason for these ;)
I haven't taken the photos in Austria - it was in Slovenia, but close to the Austrian border though ;) lol
!BEER

Ok, let it be Slovenia )) Even closer ;)

I think they build those stone towers for calming down. For when you're excited it would be a difficult work )

This might be right, of course, but I also think, that when you see hundreds of them on one place, it's just fun for the people to build more ;)
!BEER

Just fun for many calm people, LOL

That's true for sure 🙂

Sehr beeindruckend :)

Mountains covered in fog .. my favorite weather for a mountain hike .. this makes me a bit jealous, hehe ^^

I know you love the fog 😉
Fog and rain together ist something I don't like much, but fog alone is cool. Fortunately the fog cleared and the rain stoped for a while, so that I could take a few photos 🙂
Thank you for your comment @adalger ... !BEER
