2015 Caving Calendar
Members of DZRJL, the Ljubljana Caving Society, in Najdena jama Cave

          The calendar concept was finalized after a prolonged consideration of bolder scenarios, to show full-length portraits of DZRJL cavers, single or in pairs, in Najdena jama Cave, Slovenia. All monthly photos were taken in September and October 2014, the cover photo is of earlier date, from May 2004. Najdena jama, 5.110 meters long and 121 meters deep, is one of the main DZRJL discoveries from half a century ago, part of the Ljubljanica river underground system. It is located near the village Laze, on the northern rim of Planinsko polje valley in Slovenia, roughly halfway from Venice to Vienna. Locations in the cave are not far from the entrance, with a few exceptions.
          Besides weekend days and Slovenian holidays the two main lunar phases, the new moon and full moon, are also depicted. Calendar is of wider A3 format (438 x 294 mm with 8 mm of white border).

          Participants: France Šušteršič, Metod di Batista, Matic di Batista - Diba, Marjan Baričič, Janez Modrijan - Modrc, Riko and Rok Grecs, Mateja Centa, Matija Perne, Jure Košutnik - Ðuro, Tomaž Šuštar - Ikarus, Primož Presetnik - Pipistrel, Tomaž Miklavčič - Boni, Uroš Kunaver, Katarina Kanduč, Armin Krivec, Maja Zagmajster, Teo Delić and Matej Blatnik.
