From Poljane to Upper and Inner Carniola (Gorenjska and Notranjska)
At Lučka's Place, Metod's 77 and Cobalt Blue

July 10 - 13, 2025, 12 pictures

          The images, except for the portrait, where the vertical side measures 450 pixels, are mostly 768 by 1024 pixels in size, numbers in front of the picture descriptions are serial numbers of the original photo files. Lučka Perharič and Pio Šuto appear in the photos on July 10, while Metod Di Batista and Alenka Terlep - Lenča, Andrej Baraga, Janez Modrijan - Modrc, Polona Planina, Marjan Juvan - Manč and Marko Vogrič - Mare participated in the celebration on July 11. Marjan Baričič and Igor Maksim Košir - Ičo were excused for their absence.
          The Thursday photos were taken while making a portrait of a grandmother for the short film "Soul, What Do You Desire", Gitica Jakopin's graduation work (based on motifs from the prose collection of the same name by the Gitica's grandma, also named Gitica Jakopin) while studying film directing in Milan. Friday afternoon was dedicated to a gathering on Metod's birthday and the celebration of the opening of his atrium behind the house, after several years of renovation, Saturday and Sunday were spent on another visit to the land of the author's ancestors.

55772. Chocolate cake with jam, Metod's and Lenča's great success. The feast was varied, colorful and anything but modest. It began with several appetizers, including sardine fillets with capers and pickled shrimp, with a welcome champagne and a bowl. For additional drinks, two seven percent beers followed, Tripel Karmeliet made from oats, wheat and barley, with fruity tones and fermented once again in the bottle for a champagne effect, and a beer with cherries produced in a similar way; there was also a delicate rosé wineas an accompaniment. The main course was grilled sea bass, enriched with three excellent salads, from green beans, potatoes with cucumbers and a delicacy from buckwheat porridge with red beans and selected herbs, this time accompanied by Malvasia wine from the Slovenian littoral. Dessert was a cake from the photo, sorbet and coffee. In five short words: all you would ask for (

ni da ni in Slovenian).
