Bled and Bohinj (part one)

Ci sono due laghi, Bled e Bohinj, situati nella regione delle Alpi Giulie, nel nord-ovest della Slovenia; amo passare la le mie vacanze o i miei weekends. Lo scorso anno visitammo i due laghi durante le vacanze invernali.. Oggi tre immagini del primo lago, un lago con una piccola isola nel suo interno. Il lago fu creato dal ghiacciaio di Bohinj, durante l'ultima glaciazione. Bled ha delle sorgenti termali ed è ben conosciuto per le sue acque curative.

There are two lakes, Bled and Bohinj, which are situated in the region of the Julian Alps, in the north-weast of Slovenia; I love to go to spend my holydays or my weekends there. Last year I visited Bled and Bohinj during the winter holydays.. Today three pictures of the first one, a lake with a little isle inside, it was created by the glacer of Bohinj, during the last Ice Age. Bled has some thermal springs and it's well known for its curative waters.

BORA

C'è un gelido vento da est che soffia a Trieste, e si chiama "Bora". Non soffia in tutte le giornate invernali, ma se arriva può essere potente, con raffiche fino a 200Km orari! Le raffiche non vengono sempre dalla stessa direzione e non è mai costante.. può girare all'improvviso la sua forza e ti può gettare a terra ognivolta e dovunque.
Durante questi periodi ogni scooter o moto può cadere, e bisogna fare attenzione a dove li posteggiamo. Le finestre devono rimanere chiuse altrimenti le persone in strada potrebbero ferirsi con i vetri rotti che arrivano dall'alto.
Penso che ognuno dovrebbe provare questo vento favoloso, anche se solo per un giorno.

There is a icy wind from the east that blows here in Trieste during the winter days called "Bora". It doesn't blows every day, but when it comes it can be very powerful, with gusts up to 200Km per hour! The gusts are not from the same direction, and it hasn't the constantly blow.. it can turn his power to kick you down, everytime, and everywhere.
During these days every scooter or motorbike can fall down, so we must pay attention where we leave it. The windows must be closed otherwise people could be wounded by the crashed glass falling down in the streets.
I think everyone should try this fabolous wind, even if just for one day.

Photoblogs

Sometimes I surf to other blogs with beautiful shots and I see they are without comments (or with few ones) and sometimes I see blogs with shots not so good like the past ones, but with a lot of positive comments like "awesome", "great", "this blog is gorgeous"... and so on. I want to specify that I'm not asking for more comments here by my friends, but I'm thinkin' to the mistery of the people that write a comment surfing the blogs.. What is the real reason they had before they left their comment? Why do they write, and then they follow a blog, without good pictures?
Here is three blogs I visit, and I look their pictures, just to learn:
The Daily Sashin

Historical manifestation

Slivnica

C'è una monte, in Slovenia, chiamato Slivnica, il monte delle streghe. Ero la con la mia ragazza, a camminare nella foresta, ascoltando voci ancestrali e le risate delle streghe, nella nebbia e nella pioggia. Ogni tanto hai l'impressione di essere scrutato da qualcosa, ma nessuno sta vicino a te.. sarà solo suggestione? In vetta si trova un bel rifugio (il rifugio della strega), dove si può mangiare e passare la notte.. dovremmo dormirci un giorno!

There is a mountain, in Slovenia, called Slivnica, the mountain of the witches. I was there with my girl, walking through the forest, hearing the ancestral voices and the laugh of the witches, in the fog and in the rain. Sometimes you have the feeling you are scanned by something, but nobody is near of you.. is it only suggestion? At the top of the mountain you can find a pretty refuge (the refuge of the witch), where you can eat and spend your night.. one day we ought to sleep there!
