A strange flight above a strange place, in strange winds and through strange clouds - but the views were magnificent. Planina polje (karst field) was semi-flooded again, and as beautiful as ever.

A Watery Surprise - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

So we decided to visit Planina polje, the fascinating kart field southwest from Ljubljana to catch the Autumn colours that grace its edges, but we completely disregarded the Autumn rains that fell a couple of days before. The paths crisscrossing the Planina polje are off limits to cars (park at the edge and protect the ... Read more

Quirks of the wind.

At the wondrous Lake Cerknica we found a strange river of air that just hugged the ground: there was no wind higher up, and our kite was left hanging at some 70 m.

Weird ...

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

Lake Palčje, Slovenia. The star of Pivka seasonal lakes nature park. Ephemeral and timeless.

And hard to get with a camera on a kite.

This is a story that concludes a seven year quest for a successful KAP session here. It was worth the wait.

Enjoy!

Gotcha! - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

On June 18, 2017 we flew our kite with a camera for the first time. For our third kite aerial photography session we went to the Upper Pivka valley, sometime in August 2017. We took a couple of cool photos of Šilentabor archaeological site (with a tailless sled, on 800 m of line), and then ... Read more

We know, we know … as we were obsessed with Ljubljana Marshes, it would seem that we are now fixated on Planina polje. But we can’t help it – the polje is so intriguing, and ever changing, and beautiful … So as we were driving down to Dolenja vas for the party, the 10th anniversary ... Read more

We were doing some infrared kite aerial archaeology on Planina polje, Slovenia - and suddenly realized how beautiful the place is. So we sent up a regular camera ... and got this!

While We Wait for the Romans - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

Since we’ve got exciting news about some strange rectangles on Planina polje, we were occupied by the thought of finding (or at least confirming the existence of) archaeology in a most unusual place: a flood-prone, marshy karst field. So we were back at the first opportunity, this time with a better infrared camera, hunting for ... Read more
