Sometimes we have nothing to report, no tale to tell. It happens. When there is no wind, there’s pretty much nothing we can do about it. Slovenia in general is … ehm, wind-challenged. And so are the best places here: for every great shot and for each successful kite aerial photography session there are tens … Read more
It’s so rare – too rare? – that a completely new word slides into your vocabulary. A delightful new word for a delightful thing? Even rarer. But it happens. Like a bird you never saw before flutters by and lands on a branch only for you to see, to admire, for it to bathe in … Read more
This KAP session started rather innocuously … It was a somewhat sunny day at Ljubljana Marshes; the wind was nice, the bugs and mosquitos were active, the swallows were chasing them around the sky, the crops were blissfully ripening. A typical middle-augustian Saturday afternoon. We were at a place we rarely visit – because we … Read more
So, Caly the wiener dog had an appointment with a hairdresser. Since it takes a lot of time to further beautify the already beautiful wire-haired dachshund, Janez had some time on his hands – it was a windy late afternoon, and Ljubljana Marshes were calling. He went to the place called Ižanske toplice – “the … Read more
On June 18, 2017 we flew our kite with a camera for the first time. For our third kite aerial photography session we went to the Upper Pivka valley, sometime in August 2017. We took a couple of cool photos of Šilentabor archaeological site (with a tailless sled, on 800 m of line), and then … Read more

Yes, yes, we know … we owe you a report from the unique festival in Urbino, and from a rather special kite workshop Gregor did, but this kite flying session was really nice, so … 🙂 After a hectic week, and the very hot summer, and all the festivals from Tunisia to Dalmatia to Italy, … Read more
Since we’ve got exciting news about some strange rectangles on Planina polje, we were occupied by the thought of finding (or at least confirming the existence of) archaeology in a most unusual place: a flood-prone, marshy karst field. So we were back at the first opportunity, this time with a better infrared camera, hunting for … Read more
We are rather blessed. Slovenia and Nature go well together. Surely, we made our share of fucking around that resulted in finding out, but in general, we do okay. Lying at the intersection of the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Panonnian plain, and the Dinaric mountains, the ecosystems of Slovenia are diverse, quite unique, and ever … Read more
Novi Vinodolski. A really nice seaside town on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, at the mouth of the valley of the vineyards (Vinodol in Croatian) that stretches from Bakarac to the sea, below the mountains of Gorski Kotar and the rise of Velebit. It is a prime tourist place, with a mild climate, clean sea, and pleasant … Read more
