About The Photographer
Miroslav Asanin is a very enthusiastic, amateur photographer from Sencur, a small town in the Gorenjska region of Slovenia. His passion for photography began four years ago when he got his first proper camera – a Canon EOS 600D, after that there was no stopping. His primary interests has always been on shooting landscapes and different sceneries found throughout Slovenia and especially in the Slovenian Alps and its Triglav National Park. It’s just man, nature and camera living in a total harmony. And nature has always been a place where Slovenian people like to spend much time.
Below is a selection of 40 of his photos that Miroslav kindly shared with us, but if you want to see more of his work, you can visit his Facebook and Instagram pages!

Velika planina is one of Europe’s few surviving high mountain herdsmen’s settlements where traditional Alpine dairy herdsmen’s culture is still alive. The huts are made of wood and built in the traditional mountain style.
Velika planina is Slovenia’s largest highland pasture that extends over 557 hectares at the altitude between 1,400 and 1,668 metres. It is accessible by a cable car. The pastures are full of cows and you will get chance to admire traditional shepherds huts and taste local cheese and milk.

The Karawanks are a popular mountaineering area.
This emerald-green Zelenci lake can be discovered immediately after the small Alpine village of Podkoren in the far northwestern corner of Slovenia, just a mere 5 minutes by car from both the Italian and Austrian borders. Following a wooden footbridge, you can walk to the lake and around the swamps without harming nature. It’s a wonderful experience.
