Dreams Of A White Christmas Come True, Jamnik Church, Slovenia

OH WOW!!!

One of my bucket list photography challenges that I set myself some years ago was to photograph a gorgeous small church, in snow, all lit up. Well, today, having driven 20km from Bled to one of my favourite locations, Jamink Church, that bucket list challenge was ticked off. To throw some atmospheric heavy mist in too, was perhaps the icing on the cake.

So I arrived in good time before sunset, except that on the drive up the road that has many, many hairpins, the mist started forming, and before I parked the car, it was seriously misty with very little visibility. This had me change my original shooting position from the roadside to right in front of the church itself.

As I wandered down to the church, two local videographers, (Dragan and Marco whose names I found out), were wandering around with the intention of doing some filming but they ended up chatting to me and we stood for an hour talking about a whole range of subjects. What cracking guys they were and quite typical of the Slovenians that I have met on the road.

Anyhow, as the light started to disappear, the church lights came on and illuminate the church in a warm, soft glow and that suited the scene perfectly. As I wandered back to the car, walking in my snow boots through 12" of snow, I was more than happy with my visit to Jamnik. I shall return tomorrow for sunrise to see how the scene looks as daylight breaks but for now, I shall sit back, and look at this image and smile. I hope you do too.
