I'd rather be a forest than a street.

Yes I would.

If I only could,

I surely would...

On cloudy Sunday I stroll at the northwestern part of Slovenia. I visited the upper and lower Bohinj valley. I was so excited over these lands and decided I had to come back in the spring, when the trees blossom. Maybe I wil even come by bike. At the end of this trip I visited Bohinj lake.

 

Na oblačno nedeljo sem se potepala po severozahodnem delu Slovenije. Obiskala sem zgornjo in spodnjo bohinjsko dolino. Bila sem navdušena nad temi kraji in sklenila sem, da moram ponovno priti spomladi, ko bodo cvetela drevesa. Mogoče pridem celo s kolesom.

Na koncu sem obiskala bohinjsko jezero, od koder je tudi ta posnetek.

Comment (pertains to pictures in the Flickr album Myrtus communis): Myrtus communis is an important plant in several old cultures from antic times on – it is a symbol of beauty, peace and love since classical times. It is known and has been cultivated and adorned in Mediterranean region for a very long time, so that botanists actually do not know exactly where the plant origins. Namely, Myrtaceae are predominantly tropic and sub-tropic plants. Some professionals believe that it is an autochthone species in Mediterranean region, others think that it was brought from Asia millennia ago. Today it is known from all countries around the Mediterranean Sea. It is rare in Slovenia but very common in Croatia, particularly on the Adriatic islands. Flowering bushes are very beautiful in spring time, but also evergreen, shiny leaves and bluish-black berries when ripe do not fall behind. Leaves, bark and berries of this plant contain fragrant etheric oils, which are widely used in cosmetic products. In close contact with humans for so long time many other uses of this extraordinary plant have been developed.
