A walk on a sublime Sunday
Hello everyone! 😎
This is my first post here, and the very name of the community seems to me to require a certain personal touch, so you really have to try if you want to write something meaningful that shows your feelings and at the same time, the community perceives your thinking.
It's Sunday, it's actually getting dark, and I'm editing my impressions from the afternoon walk.
A couple of days ago it rained heavily here in our area, but now it has been two days, unusually warm for October, and it was time to go for an autumn walk around my home, where I haven't been for a couple of months.
Autumn is a specific season for me, I see how nature slowly dies down and transforms into a different environment compared to summer or spring.
But I am also in those years that I identify with this season, although still only at times. The autumn of life and winter awaits us (me).
So we went for a walk with Atos, towards a local landmark, the waterfall Sušec, which only appears when there is a lot of water, otherwise there is none. Usually, it's in spring or autumn, if there's a lot of rain.
He wasn't very enthusiastic, but I don't know why.
The Sušec stream, which comes from a hill near the town, is not very big, but when there is enough water it can be very strong. When there is no water, it is dry, and then it is not. A typical karst phenomenon.
Incidentally, 'Sušec' means 'Dry' in English, because for at least half of the year, there is no water at all, or it just drips slowly.
Typical autumn atmosphere and lots of humidity because there is flowing water nearby.
Another look back.
I really don't know why Atos refuses to move forward. Maybe because of the drops of moisture in the air, he doesn't like rain too much. If it rains he doesn't want to leave the house :)
We are closer. We'll be there in a few minutes.
We are here. Just a little more time, Atos, and we'll be back :)
Well, it's a local landmark, the Sušec waterfall, the water gushing from under Mount Snežnik, and it's even drinkable.
Higher up is a water station that provides drinking water for the whole valley (there is a huge underground lake under our town and it has never run out of water) and further afield, including the Kvarner Bay for towns like Rijeka and Opatija.
When I was a kid we used to play Cowboys and Indians here :)
Now Atos and I are going back because he can't wait :) 😂
We took a different route, past a ruined factory that had not yet been restored.
This is where the decay and decomposition are really showing, maybe @slobberchops would be interested in this because he deals with such environments :)

There used to be a factory named Topol (in English Poplar) here, where the wood was processed into veneer.
Well, when socialism ended, about 30 years ago, it all fell apart because they didn't get along very well.
Since then it has been in ruins, they haven't found anyone who wants to take it over.
Well, something is moving. Someone has renovated the bread (and pizza) oven. It looks very good, don't you think?
There is hope yet!
That's all for today, Atos is happy because we are almost home, on familiar ground, and back on standby.
Thanks for your attention, this was my first post in the Sublime Sunday community.

What a beautiful walk! Beautiful autumn hues bursting all over. I can imagine the splashing sound of the stream...
Thank you. Yes, the sound of rushing water drowns out everything.

If there is a river on the photos, I have to check it out! 😃 When I wanted to say how lucky you are to have such a beautiful river close to your home, I saw that you wrote that it's not always there... But, still... It looks awesome painted in autumn colors...
And Atos was funny... First you drag him for a walk, and later, he drags you to home... 🤣
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project which will be highlighted in the next post!
Actually, the Sušec is a small stream, not a river, and it flows into the river Reka, which goes on into the Škocjan Caves and comes out as the Timav River near Trieste. If you're around, you can go and see them, they're under UNESCO protection.
In summer, if there is a drought, there is no water. It runs next to my house, and the waterfall is about a kilometer further into the forest.
Thanks for adding to the @ourpick selection.
It's great to hear that it is water more often than not!
You are lucky to have a house next to the stream!
I have been lucky because there's no flood and I hope it will last.
You had a nice walk with your pet
The leaves are so fine even though some of them are dry
Nice pictures!
It's autumn time and everything slowly dying.
Ništa ljepše od netaknute peirode!
Ali ova peč????
Tako nešto tražim već dugo. Problem je samo, moja jača strana je vinograd, vrt i pisanje.
Ali mešalica i beton - jok!
Pa kod nas je priroda baš lijepa. U stvari nemamo ništa drugo samo tu prirodu. Ova peč je vani vjerovatno jer se suši, a i preteška je da bi je neko ukrao 😂
Nice Sunday walk!
