Yesterday there was a big open-air party in Ljubljana with Gorillaz Sound System DJ's. But before that, three of our bands performed; Billysi, Murat & Jose and Siddharta. The crowd was massive and it was impossible to move around. Luckly I managed to get a photo pass which allowed me to get closer to the stage.
So; Billysi were great, Siddharta was awesome (as usual), but the best official thing of the night was a joined performance by Siddharta and Murat & Jose (alternative link). M&J released a new album entitled Tuki not, which I had a chance to listen on my way back home. I wouldn't like to judge it so quickly but I was impressed by the sound of it. Their rap is not recorded over some cheap computer beats, but with a really good (rock-jazz?) band. And it is also good to hear a good rap lyrics which are not based on an oversized ego of the ones who made it (99,9% of rap fits that category).

Very reserved crowd yesterday in Postojna, but great music afterall!

This photo was made by accident but I decided to keep it. Can anybody tell what it is?


Besides that; I'm off for the next 10 days. I'm going to the Slovenian coast to participate in UMMI summer camp. Last year I was there as the official blogger, this year I am promoted to coach my own group of students. I think it will be a lot of fun!
So this is it for the daily photos. It was a great ride, but now there are new challenges for me (and less time). As for the blogging; we are back to normal (fewer but longer posts). Take care

And yes! I can has new avatar! Thanks Violeta!

A band is playing at the marina in Ićići.

The ruins of the Church of Mary’s Assumption in Kastav are a beautiful background for summer musical festivals. I should really visit it at night one day And BTW: the curch was never actually finished.

Last friday there was a huge thunderstorm in Brkini region. In the villages of Huje and Pregarje, hailstones of the size of a normal tennis ball were bombarding the village which was getting ready for the annual celebration called "Shod". The celebration had to be canceled. On the left you can see the actual hailstones, photographed by Fidele Vergan (published at Delo)
Since I was at the beach at the time of the storm, I couldn't document it. But I did visit Pregarje and Huje today, where the restauration is already in progress.

Today I was quite unexpectedly visiting Škofja Loka. The whole main square is decorated with colorful ribbons.


And this is the gothic ceiling of the city's curch.
