Clear skies

The clouds finally cleared, in parts anyway, and enough to reveal a few peaks for us to capture a more snaps of the dramatic scenery. The colour came out in the mountains and it was as though someone had simply turned up the saturation dial as the sun lit up the to rocks and vegetation. Interestingly the shrubs here seem happy at high altitudes. I remember at Ben Nevis it became barren after about 1000m. I assume here it's just a little warmer. It was about 10 degrees but in the sun it felt very comfortable. We'd brought warm tops but didn't need them too much. Since I'm comparing to the UK I feel compelled to mention Mount Snowdon. Here the peak we are on looks down about 600m on the level below. While Snowdonia didn't have as many dramatic peaks you did get stunning views that swoop down 1,200 metres. I'm not diminishing the stunning views here but it's nice to think our diminutive mountain ranges can still offer something in competition. But back to Triglav National Park.
