The Emerald Lake | Bled, Slovenia
Bled, Slovenia • Aerial 360° Photograph
If you ask someone to name one sight in Slovenia, there is a 99% chance it will be Lake Bled.
And for good reason. The emerald-colored lake with a small island monastery sitting right in its middle is one of those places that looks almost too perfect to be real. You don't have to be religious to be moved by the Church of the Mother of God. It simply stops you in your tracks. When I visited, I knew immediately that only aerial photography could capture what makes it special.
The Perfect Place for Dreaming
Lake Bled attracts thousands of visitors every year and is arguably the most famous tourist attraction in Slovenia. When I was photographing nature in the region, I couldn't resist visiting. Some places you just have to see for yourself.
Lake Bled lies close to Lake Bohinj, where I captured a beautiful sunrise from above on the same trip. Worth a look.
