Snowy Mountain and Blue Sky: Ponza Grande

avatar

Blue skies in the morning and a rocky, snow-covered mountain in winter - what could be more beautiful?

Blauer Himmel am Morgen und ein felsiger, schneebedeckter Berg im Winter - was gibt es Schöneres?

Visoka Ponca - Ponza Grande - Hohe Ponza
Julian Alps . Italy / Slovenia

It can be even nicer when this mountain is illuminated by the morning sun and reflected in an emerald green lake.

Noch schöner kann es sein, wenn dieser Berg von der Morgensonne bestrahlt wird und sich in einem smaragdgrünen See spiegelt.

A few weeks ago I was in Slovenia in the Zelenci Nature Reserve and was able to photograph this beautiful snow-capped mountain early in the morning against a deep blue sky.

Vor ein paar Wochen war ich in Slowenien im Naturreservat Zelenci und konnte diesen schönen schneebedeckten Berg früh am Morgen vor einem tiefblauen Himmel fotografieren.

The blue sky turns almost black in monochrome

The mountain Hohe Ponza, Italian Ponza Grande, Slovenian Visoka Ponca is 2,274 m / 7,460 ft high and is located in the border area between Italy and Slovenia.

Der Berg Hohe Ponza, Italienisch Ponza Grande, Slowenisch Visoka Ponca ist 2.274 m / 7.460 ft hoch und befindet sich im Grenzgebiet zwischen Italien und Slowenien.

On the other side of the mountain is Italy and there are the Fusine Lakes (Laghi di Fusine / Weißenfelser Seen).

At the upper Fusine lake Lago di Fusine Superiore is the starting point for a via ferrata on this mountain.

The tour is said to be beautiful in terms of landscape, but long and exhausting, as it is a hike and climb of about 6 1/2 hours over 9 kilometers (5.59 miles) and 1,350 meters (4,429 feet) elevation.

Auf der anderen Seite des Berges ist Italien und dort befinden sich die Fusine Seen (Laghi di Fusine / Weißenfelser Seen).

Am oberen Fusine See Lago di Fusine Superiore ist Startpunkt zu einem Klettersteig auf diesen Berg.

Die Tour soll landschaftlich wunderschön, aber lang und anstrengend sein, soll sie doch über 9 Kilometer (5.59 miles) Distanz und 1.350 Höhenmeter (4,429 feet elevation) gehen und etwa 6 1/2 Stunden dauern.

The color of the sky is beautiful and even against the tops of the mountains under the snow ... divine!
It reminds me of the color of the sky when the moon is full.🤗

If I don't find a better solution for this weeks theme "Black" of @photo52 I'll have to take these ;)
Have a great day and weekend 🙂

Right, it's much better to work when the weather is bad, but working on weekends is not what I like anyway. Fortunately I have only one weekend per month to work.
Have a good time on Saturday and then best weather on Sunday, my friend @cezary-io 🙂

There's always a great reflection in this little green lake, and the postcard sky made it even a bit better.

Usually I prefer some clouds at the mountain peaks to make the photos more dramatic, but sometimes a clear dark blue sky like they have it on many postcards looks good too :)

Hi Victor / @wwwiebe,

I thank you very much for curating my photos, I appreciate that 👍🙂

Just a question: I have got 50 PHOTO and 20 CCC with memo photo52 week 3 or so. Now, I have been waiting for the results post to have a chance to say thank you 😉 and that I want to sponsor these tokens to the winner of week 4, but you haven't published it yet 😭

Danke dir 🙂

Ich bin beim Überlegen, denn die paar Berichte, die ich gelesen habe, sprechen von einer wunderschönen Tour, aber 6 1/2 Stunden sind schon eine lange Zeit. Die Aussicht von dort oben soll fantastisch sein - auf der einen Seite zwei Seen und auf der anderen dieser kleine und das ganze Savetal...
Allerdings wird davor gewarnt, diese Tour vor Juni zu machen, weil manche Stellen wegen dem Schnee noch sehr gefährlich sind, also habe ich noch ein paar Monate Zeit zum Überlegen ;)

Liebe Grüße 🙂

Guten Morgen 🙂

Da gibt es ein paar schöne Touren, die ich heuer gerne machen möchte, und auch ein paar meiner Ansicht nach schönere, aber ich denke, ich werde das kurzfristig entscheiden, wenn das Wetter im Sommer passt.

Wie du entscheidest, weiß ich eh ;)))

Guten Morgen Peter,

Lange hast du abe rnicht gedrückt - wahrscheinlich bist du dann später auch eingeschlafen. Heute morgen sind leider nur ein paar Schneeflocken am Auto gelegen und auf meiner Fahrt nach Italien/Slowenien hat es auch nur ganz leicht geschneit ... aber danke trotzdem für den Versuch, hat mich wirklich gefreut, als ich die Schneeflocken gesehen habe :)

Liebe Grüße und einen schönen Samstag 🙂
