There is a reason because Slovenia is called “the little green lung of Europe” , everything is green no matter which direction you turn!
Lakes, rivers, forests, and mountains all over the country make this nation on the sunny side of the Alps a popular destination for visitors from all over the world.

My first goal was to photograph Brown Bears, in the vast forests in Southern Slovenia, near the Croatian border. Due to their density and scarce population, these forests are an ideal habitat for numerous animal species, from various varieties of birds to beasts, such as the wolf, the Eurasian lynx, and obviously a lot of Brown Bears!
Male Brown Bear at the last light of dusk, in a remote forest. There are no words to describe the emotion of this moment.
Then I traveled to other areas of this beautiful country, visiting famous places like Lake Bled and some beautiful little churches in the middle of nowhere!

Slovenians love their green country, so their concern is focused on preserving natural and cultural treasures, and they like to share their love for their beautiful green surroundings with others who value sustainable management and development! So...what are you waiting for?

A very suspicious male Roe Deer,gets slowly out of the wood. Certainly one of my favourite wild animals.
