Misty Morning at Lake Bled, Slovenia

I looked at the weather forecast last night on my 'Clear Outside' weather app and the promise of mist until around 9am was predicted. I thought long and hard about where exactly I wanted to be and yet despite having shot Lake Bled on around five occasions recently, I really could not resist returning, not least because it's only a five minute drive for me.

However this morning I opted not to return to my usual vantage point, the wooden boardwalk, but to try and capture a selection of images that as others put it 'classic Nicholson'. So on arriving at the car park next to the campsite (3 EUR an hour, ouch), I wandered down to the wooden jetty opposite and set up the camera. There are a couple of beautiful, simple, wooden Pletna boats by the lakeside and so I started with them but noticed a couple of minutes later the rocks and wooden posts that line the edge of the walkway.

So I turned my attention to them while continuing to feature the iconic church island in the centre of the frame in the background. The mist was very prevalent which provided me with seemingly endless compositional possibilities. It is fair to say that I was in my element and I am never happier than when capturing images that are intrinsically mine in style.

The colour in the sky was subtle this morning but the church was visible for most of the time that I was there but I have a couple of images where it disappeared altogether. Once I had finished with this particular area, I drove up the road to another car park which allowed me a brisk ten minute walk down to the water's edge to photograph the island 'head on' as it was. The composition has the entrance to the island visible, along with the countless number of steps that take you up to the church but I shall share that another day.

To finish my morning's shoot, I took the steps to the Cafe Belvedere, which enjoys an elevated position over the lake and it gave me a lot of enjoyment watching life continuing below me. Pletna boats being powered by an electric motor around the lake, fishermen trying to land the odd fish or two in their small boats, and kayakers taking an early morning cruise around the island while ducks quacked, birds sang and life, in general, felt great. Oh, what a time to be out enjoying nature.

I hope that you enjoy the image. Feel FREE TO SHARE it if you wish
