Bohinji lake in winter #1, a photo from Gorenjska, West

Photographer's Note

I wish everyone a Happy New Year.....
Lake Bohinj covering 318 hectares , is the largest permanent lake in Slovenia. It is located within the Bohinj Valley of the Julian Alps, in the northwestern Upper Carniola region, and part of Triglav National Park.
Lake Bohinj is 4.2 km long and 1 km at its maximum width. It is a glacial lake dammed by a moraine.

The largest of the streams that flow into the lake, the Savica ('little Sava'),is fed from Črno jezero (Black Lake), the largest lake in the Triglav Lakes Valley. The outflow at the eastern end is the Jezernica creek which merges with the Mostnica to form the Sava Bohinjka, which in turn becomes the larger Sava River at the confluence with the Sava Dolinka. As found out already by Belsazar Hacquet in the 18th century, much more water leaves Lake Bohinj than enters it, which is explained with subterranean sources of water.

The clear waters are the habitat of brown trout, burbot, European chub, common minnow and Arctic char, eight genera of molluscs, as well as of numerous algae species. It is a popular day trippers' destination for swimming and other water sports. On the shore is a statue of the legendary Goldhorn (Zlatorog) chamois, whose story was perpetuated by the poet Rudolf Baumbach.

Bonjour Grzegorz

J'aime beaucoup cette petite brume sur le lac qui donne toute une ambiance à la composition. J'aime les canards qui semblent se diriger dans ta direction et la belle lumière qui tente de percer.

Amicalement

Serge

I like the climate and atmosphere of the place.
Such a peace there ... I also like the tone.
In fact, this is the correct photo, technically and
in artistic terms it can not be anything
fault.

all the best in 2013...

Hi Grzegorz!
I like this foggy atmosphere, the little huts in background and these ducks coming near you:)! Seems you got some people in background, enjoying the view - I'm sure it must be worth it! The fog makes it perfect!
Very good composition! A good one to start the year with!
Have a great New Year!
