Today we offer you a stroll in the clouds. No deep historical analysis, no detailed essay on whatever a kite flew over, nor an in-depth report from a festival. Just a simple, relaxing stroll - with kite aerial photos :-)

Before the Spring Explodes: A Stroll Above Ljubljana - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

These photos were taken a while ago, on March 19 – so much has happened in between we fell seriously behind with regular kite aerial photography work. The views right now are very different, almost unrecognisable in places, and yet perhaps that is the point. Every stroll is always different, whether in the streets below ... Read more

Standing on sacred ground, with thousands of years of history beneath our feet.

Ljubljana is a city of lawyers - so it's no surprise that the earliest known mention of the town and the castle above it involves a certain Rudolphus Advocatus.

Click and let the kite take you back to the High Middle Ages, to the beginnings of Ljubljana castle and the triple town below it.

Thursday's long read: how we tried to colonize Ljubljana Marshes, why we kinda failed, and how we are now protecting this strange, wounded, beautiful ecosystem.

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. To be fair, only one species of animal thought that; millions of others were quite happily enjoying this purported “void,” thank you very much. And even the detractors once lived smack in the middle of it, back when it ... Read more

Two stories in one: how did beeches of Europe survive the Ice Age, and how did the serfs outwit the lord so hard that the almost-ruined castle had to be offered as the first prize of the national lottery!

A Castle in the Woods - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

Beeches be trippin’ … Few people realize that among plants, beeches are the ultimate party animals. They’re cool, they drink a lot (of course), and they’re dressed to impress – those striking silver trunks and vibrant green leaves that sway seductively in the gentle breeze … When conditions are warm and wet, beeches truly thrive; ...

The Gods of Winds can be generous around the Old year / New year transition, so we are usually able to head down to Cerknica and take some more kite aerial photos of this exceptional place. Because it’s never enough. And it’s never the same. So we honoured the tradition – and the first published ... Read more
