Slovenia- A little country nestled on the sunny side of Alps

Here I am in Ljubljana for about two years by now. A cute green European city it is, it seems to me a bit apart from all the other cities I have ever visited. It has a peaceful calmness about it which one would not see in any other European capital city. With hills surrounding the place every where and even with in the center of the city, it gives a great opportunity for any one who would like to have a quick get away into woods after an exhausting day-long work. From a typical mid-sized town in India, where I was brought up and a metropolitan city where I had been studying, I found this place very quiet albeit too quiet to start with. From now on I promised myself to post few of my musings through the photos I have taken of the world around me in Slovenia. A photoblog on my travels to other countries in Europe are found here.

I am not sure any more whether travelling interests me more or photography. I guess I love the combination of both since I developed a keen interest in photography due to my visits to various wonderful and beautiful places in Europe.

And yes, finally... here is my very first picture to kick start the series

This is the sight of the Ljubljana market on Saturday mornings. Fresh produce from the local farmers are sold here every day. But saturday mornings tend to get crowded with almost half of Ljubljana city arriving to this particular place for shopping as well as getting together with friends and having a sip of hot coffee in the numerous cafes lining the banks of the river Ljubljanica.
