NY`s&Christmas Floods

...Christmas day 2009, waiting for the Noe`s arch! It was raining cats and dogs for a couple of days/nights. Bohinj and other areas also suffered from floods and heavy rain. Soča set a new record - in Solkan measured movement of 2247 cubic meters per second. The previous record was ranked 18th October 1961, when the flow reached 2134 cubic meters per second. At Žaga its max was close to 800 cubic meters per second. Defently a "centenary flood"... Global warming thing or just another "shit happens"? I guess the latter - it has happened before, it will happen again - and it sure looks like "more shit" is coming this way in the near future...

Juliana botanical garden

Juliana is the first and the only alpine botanical garden in the natural environment on the Slovenian territory. In 1926, it has set up Trieste landowner and merchant Albert Bois de Chesne (1871-1953), friend of Julius Kugy. The garden grows about 600 varieties of plants, some also endemic. Best time to visit in spring and summer (june, july), when most plants flower.
