Not really an important post

, , , ...

Not much to say; the latest my.opera upgrade messed up my costum css designs. I hope that guys will solve this soon. I kinda like this one.
I added a new poll to the the sidebar. I want to know how much television do you watch now. Did internet change your watching habits? It did for me. I voted for the last option :wink:

And yes... spring is knocking on the door! Finally! :yes:

Autumn charms

, , ,

Every year after the summer, there is a periond of time when it seems like everything beautiful had come to an end. But shortly after, the real autumn starts and eventhough it is not a good time to take a swim anymore (last year was exceptional), there are other things one can enjoy.


One of them are chest nuts. From picking them up in the forest to roasting them on fire, every stage is a celebration of the pure nature, friendship, tranquility and the time of the year when we calm down and rest a bit. It can be especially nice if one is acquainted with some good friends. Then it's almost like a ritual.
:chef:

More autumn photos can be found in the galery.

Fade to brown

, ,

Well, the days are getting shorter. Summer is fading away and there will be less and less days to swim. We went to the beach yesterday and we'll be going probably tomorrow as well, but these days seem like an undeserved gift now. I am happy that my work at university goes better than it was planed and that I have many free afternoons to come in September. Let's just hope the sun will keep sending those rays at us and that the watter will remain warm. Last year it was awesome. I was swimming till the end of October, and this year I started in the middle of April, which is remarkable, both times.


But, we have to look at the bright side. Attumn can be really nice and colorful. Let's pack those cameras and take some photos! :wink: We'll pick some apples on the way and watch birds take off to Africa.

And; thank you for nominating me as the best male bloger. Now it is time to vote! :D

The Opera is down

, , ,

Well, don't be afraid, I don't mean the software nor our community, but National Opera house in Ljubljana, which is being renewed. The whole stage and backstage part is being torn down for the reconstruction and it get's really interesting to see what is the skeleton of such house like.

Besides that, it was one of the hottest days of the year. In Ljubljana I measured 36°C. Of course the temperature that one feels is infact higher due to heavy infra-red radiaton comming from the asphalt, steel and concrete. Big cities are in summer really not a place to live in. People found different ways to cope with heat. Many of them layed down in shady parks.

Summer of spring 2007

, , , ...

More and more i write about weather. Firstly because it is getting more and more weird. Well, it is getting warmer. Which is nice :wink: I know the situation might be serious, but there are reasons to be sceptic about. There is no situation in science, where a nice amount of scepticism isn't wellcome.
I believe we are making really a lot of damage, but on a local scale. Devastations of Aral sea or Amazon forest are just two examples. Then there is acid rain, nuclear radiation (not only from Chernobil, but from many rotten submarines as well),...etc! Those are all catastrophies, but on a smaller scale. Globally they don't have a larger impact on life. Life is, however, very hard to kill. I believe it is enough for a few mice and a couple of lizzards (and perhaps some bacterias) to survive, and the entire world will be repopulated within 20 million years. Who knows, some species might develop intelligence. Imagine their struggle trying to understand what will be left from us :D

Secondly, i have nothing else to write about.

Well... i must say it was lovely. See the pics in the gallery.

PS: I also went swiming... on 15th April. That is a new record for me. The teperature of sea is about 16°C (right on the surface is a bit more...), which is IMO enough, considering very hot sun and 25°C in shadow.
So from 20th March (when i reported on having snow) to 15th April we had "fake" hardcore winter, real spring and now "fake" summer. This rapid shifts make me feel like a time traveler. Who knows what might be waiting for us next month. Maybe an entire new season of frogs falling down from sky.

Winter of spring

, , ,

So just as we thaught this the global warming erased winter from our dictionary, this happened. I must say, yesterday evening was nice and romatic, but today it is all very redundant. No matter what season we're in, there shure will be some days that don't fit in at all. That's all we can count on nowadays.
