Sora is a river in western Slovenia, a right tributary of the Sava, which forms at the confluence of Poljanska and Selška Sora in Škofja Loka. I took this picture during my walk around the medieval town of Škofja Loka. Although almost the entire Sora river basin is in the Pre-Alpine hills, the river has a pronounced Dinaric rain-snow regime with the first peak in late autumn (November and December) and the second peak in spring (March, April). The autumn peak is due to abundant autumn precipitation, which often falls in the form of multi-day rains, and less evaporation due to lower temperatures, while the second peak is due to spring precipitation and melting snow in the hills. The summer low is very pronounced, when there is on average half less water in the river than in the winter months.
The Sora River is also a fishing river, inhabited by brown trout (Salmo trutta), grayling (Thymallus thymallus), huchen, etc.

Is Josip Ilicic from this area?
Yes, you are right. Josip lived in a town about 5 km away from me.
That is awesome. Are there any other famous people that you live around?
I think that Jan Oblak is also among the better known. Jan is from the town where this castle stands.
I apologize. I’m a little “confused.” In this city stands the castle from the previous post. Through the city flows the river Sora.
Great picture. I love it. I went fishing when I was a child but I will not go anymore. I feel bad for the fish that are hungry and we humans play with them.
I haven’t tried fishing yet though my late husband loved fishing. I guess we can relax a lot while fishing.
Yes, they say so. It is meant to be a relaxing pastime.
Such a breathtakingly beautiful capture! I have never tried fishing.
Thank you, Ellie. I also haven’t tried fishing yet although my late husband loved fishing.
i love fishing! the picture of the river is so cool. it looks like many of the houses were built to support having a boat for the residents.
You are right. In the past, they really used boats. I know you are an avid fisherman.
it is one of my favorite activities! There is just something relaxing about it.
i would love to have a boat dock in my basement!
I have little doubt that your wish regarding the port will be fulfilled. Maybe if you move to Venice. 😊
venice smells bad – I would move to Copenhagen!
I agree. I think Copenhagen is a better choice.
Yea, it truly is a beautiful photo, makes you almost wish you were there.
Thank you. I visit this beautiful place many times.
That is a lovely photo with the reflection of the bright, blue sky!
Thank you, Karen. I find it hard to see such a reflection. I must be very lucky. 😊
You are very welcome, vidocka!
It looks as though you have brought down the clouds – rare view.
You are right. I see very rarely such a reflection.
That is an amazing reflection. It all looks so beautiful, I have never done any fishing,
Thank you, Sanda. This reflection is really beautiful. I have never tried fishing either.
That’s a fabulous reflection, Vida! I used to fish very often in the canals of Ireland with my father. But that is more than 50 years ago 😮
Thank you, Norman. You at least tried to fish. I didn’t even try.
This is a stunning reflection. We used to fish a lot growing up and then Dustin and I went often as well.
Thank you. I have never tried fishing. I know Dustin loved fishing.
