Mangart or Mangrt is a mountain in the Julian Alps, located on the border between Italy and Slovenia. With an elevation of 2,679 metres (8,789 ft), it is, after Triglav and Škrlatica, the third-highest peak in Slovenia. It was first climbed in 1794 by the naturalist Franz von Hohenwart. Mangart is also the name of the mountain range between the Koritnica Valley and the Mangart Valley, with the highest peak called Veliki Mangart (Big Mount Mangart). After a long and sometimes cold wait in the snow for the light to show up, we had all but given up hope on getting something decent from this location, then, in the blink of an eye it all chalnged and we managed to capture this scene you see here. This location was insane and is another place we are likely to visit on our Slovenian Photogrpahy Tour in September 2017.
