How’s this for a misleading title, eh? Bloke [‘bloːkhe] refers to a high plateau south of Ljubljana, Slovenia – a wild, forested and pristine piece of nature that was once a cradle of skiing in Central Europe; a gently undulating land lying between 700 and 850 meters above sea level.

For over one MONTH (!) the weather conspired against our core business, Kite Aerial Photography. The draught finally came to an end – over an aptly flooded Planina karst field. But it wasn’t just a kite aerial photo op that brought us here. KAP Jasa Kite Society was invited again to represent Slovenia’s kite flying … Read more
It’s time to braaaag! 🙂 Every September the Wikipedia community organizes a global photo challenge called “Wiki Loves Monuments”.
