This is from Nomina Defunctorum, the Book of the Dead Benefactors who donated property to the Chapter of Aquileia (now in the Diocesan Archive of Udine): Nomina defunctorum is a simple list of the dates on which this or that benefactor died (so their souls could be duly prayed for on the correct day), and ...

Rewilding a Tamed Wilderness: People vs. Ljubljana Marshes - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

There was nothing. There was no ‘there’ there. A hundred and fifty square kilometers of void.

The paths crisscrossing the Planina polje are off limits to cars (park at the edge and protect the ... Read more

No Wind Up There - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

Sometimes we have nothing to report, no tale to tell. It happens. When there is no wind, there’s pretty much nothing we can do about it. Slovenia in general is … ehm, wind-challenged. And so are the best places here: for every great shot and for each successful kite aerial photography session there are tens ... Read more
