Lijaneja, good, right? This view always draws me in. Do those two peaks have names, do you maybe know?
asdf, I didn't know chamois change fur. But to me it looks like artificial fur, it even shines nasmeh

I doubt those two monoliths have names, since they are in an extremely awkward place. That saddle surely has few visitors, as it's hard to access, the peaks above it even more so.

Chamois change summer fur to winter like probably most wild animals at least.. in summer lighter brown. Probably a female as horns less curved. Otherwise nice pics 😉

I'm pretty sure this is chamois. On pic 12 horns look less curved, as curved side from camera. On pic 13 see they are curved, typical for chamois.

Some Tuesday snapshots from a nice circular walk to Sovna glava starting near Tonkina hut on Vršič. Up the old Vršiška road. The path was well trodden, there was quite some snow. The road to the top of Vršič pass was dry.

Nice mountaineer's greeting.
