Yes, an unplanned visit to the mountain often turns particularly surprising. Spontaneous events really enrich the experience. We visited this area just at the time when the last snow melted. I missed this wild, intact and clean area, washed away by the cold winter storms that started when I left it for the last time. Although it was a long winter I did not have the opportunity to enjoy it. Late spring climb and as always short stay .. but that was just the preparation for the next visit a month later. And here we are again but it is the summer now. The night in my small tent set at the edge of the forest. Early in the morning we realized that the bear family had already checked us out. They left the label in their own way, fresh droppings, ... probably a mama bear. Setting up a tent in such the environment means that a bear encounter is quite to be expected. I was sleeping in the night with a deep sleep and I did not hear anything but Mario said ... so that was the noise that was heard from the tent in the middle of the night !? Our tent was probably set up on their own path, where the bear descends to the grassy meadows where they spend the night at this time of the year. In the next couple of days we went to the surrounding area and visited beautiful places I could never imagined such would exist. The beauty that radiates can hardly be described in words. And then, as usual, before the twilight, we found the bears. Two young that were probably just getting separated from their mother ... but even though we could have expected her, she did not show up. Probably there must also have been another,younger generation with her. We did not approach them, but took some nice shots from the distance. I am aware that many people can't even imagine such the scene in the wild ... we should be extremely happy. The bears did not notice us ... we left them in peace and left the area the next morning.

Da, neplanirani posjet planini uvijek nečim posebno iznenadi. Spontani događaji zbilja obogaćuju iskustvo. Posjetili smo taj prostor baš u vrijeme kad se zadnji snijeg otopio. Nedostajala mi je ova divljina, nedirnuta i čista, isprana svim onim hladnim zimskim olujama koje su počele kad sam posljednji put odlazio. Bila je duga zima i nisam imao prilike uživati u njoj. Kasno proljetni uspon i kao uvijek prekratak boravak .. no to je bila tek priprema za slijedeći posjet mjesec dana kasnije. I evo nas ponovo no već u ljetu. Šator na rubu šume a odmah po ustajanju shvatili smo da nas je medvjeđa obitelj već uspjela provjeriti. Ostavili su oznaku na svoj način, svjež izmet, ... vjerojatno mama medvjedica. Postavivši šator u ovakvom kraju susret s medvjedom je sasvim za očekivati. Spavao sam noću dubokim snom i ništa nisam čuo no Mario je rekao ...pa to su onda bili oni šumovi koji su se čuli iz šatora usred noći!? Naš je šator bio postavljen vjerojatno baš na njihovom putu kojim se medvjedica obočno spušta na travnate livade gdje u to vrijeme provedu noć. U slijedećih smo par dana obišli okolicu. Ljepota kojom zrači teško se može riječima opisati. I onda, kao i obično pred sumrak naišli na medvjede. Dva mlada, vjerojatno se tek odvajaju od majke ... no iako smo nju mogli očekivali, ona se nije pojavila. Vjerojatno ima i ovogodišnji podmladak uza se. Nismo im se približavali već ih prikriveni i iz daljine snimili. Rijetki su ovakvi prizori, mnogim ljudima nezamislivi i treba biti iznimno zadovoljan ako ih doživiš. Nisu nas uočili ... ostavili smo ih u miru i slijedećeg jutra napustili taj prostor. (Pavle Balenović - Velebit).
The full moon at the of the video is gorgeous 💗...it is very pleasurable and exciting to come along with you in the forest and get to see the wonders of the forest ...beautiful video dear Pavel!! Thank you !
_A fantastic adventure in indescribably beautiful nature, and a gift to be able to watch the bears, incredibly beautiful, great shots! I am very excited. A stay in nature, from which one can eat long time .... great. Best greetings from Germany, Angela_
What a beautiful movie, dear Pavle. It was such a great feeling to see the Velebit mountains from your point of view. I read somewhere, it's not WHAT you see, but the way YOU see it and this really holds true in this case. You always present a quite different and magical view from others. The way down the dark road reminds me of when I used to travel Mt.Tremblant, very carefully, because of the bad roads and hoping always that some animal would not pop out in front of my vehicle. The bear droppings signalling something special, a bear, no doubt about it and the anticipation of seeing one and finally being rewarded.The bird sounds emanating from that forest scenery are not familiar to me, although I think I heard the Cuckoo bird near the end. The little Monitor peering shyly out at you and finally, the icing in the cake....the Brown bear minding his own business as if he doesn't have a care in the world. How lovely....and Mario with his long, long lens having the time of his life. Beautiful trips and wonderfully filmed, as always. Joan ywm
Oh yes I've heard that, too ... "it's not WHAT you see, but the way YOU see". First I really have to thank you for your great comment. As you mentioned the dark roads ... quite often or I might even say, always, I used to travel those roads by night ... to check for the possible wildlife or simply because in such the interesting environment I couldn't sleep but use every single moment being in the wild active. I even used to drink a bit more coffee that helped me stay awake ... usually in mountain huts with forestry workers who were returning home after finishing their work near evenings. Besides, through all those years I learned to track wolves mostly at dusk or dawn and that is the time when I had results filming them ... although those wolves were used on me because I raised them myself. Even other wildlife as you know well, can be seen mostly in the same time as Mario and me filmed those bears, evening. It becomes risky for the cameras especially those with long lens ... you know that well, too. There were two older cubs alone as I described, one still got that typical white collar as most of smaller cubs have. We haven't seen their mother but she knew were we were, absolutely. That nice bird singing late afternoon and mornings is Black bird ... at that time and in summer I heard Nightingale, too. The Cuckoo for me is almost the simbol of new fresh morning in the mountains but it sings at evening, too. It is always well hidden and difficult to be seen. The trip was just an idea as we both have the chance to go that time. We planned to join many times before but it never happened. He himself prefers Plitvice lakes the National Park were he spent quite a lot of time. I told you about him before. Hope we'll have the chance to visit those mountains this year at least once before the snow. (ywm)
You simply surprised me how quickly your comment showed up because just awhile ago I posted this video and came to check it here as published. I am very glad you like it ... hope it does show at least a bit of atmosphere from there where I really feel myself like home. Thanks Andy.
Hvala tebi Robert na posjeti mojem kanalu. Do sad sam objavil prek 130 filmova pa ako imaš vremena pogledaj po izboru. Tematski su uglavnom o planinama, divljim životinjama i vukovima posebno. Nadam se da će te bar nekaj interesirati. Lepi pozdrav. (pb)
Hi Pavle, I just picked and clicked this footage totally randomly and wow! what a fantastic place to be at one with nature. There's so, so much territory to explore there and some wonderful bird calls. It was interesting to hear the Cuckoo calling, as it has a slightly different tone to our own Cuckoo I hear in the UK. I loved the bear too and will have a look at some of your other footage at random times. I must add, that track road you drove down... it looks like you have to run the gauntlet of the possibility of falling rocks! :) Very enjoyable.
I am very glad you visited these mountains on my video at least this way, virtually. I know them well enough ...spent many years visiting them for real to be able to share such short virtual trips in public. I added some description to each video to explain more details. Most of them are presented like in "real time" so you can enjoy discovering the wilderness and wildlife as I did. Take a time and join my journeys.
Thanks for stopping by my channel. As you probably noticed here are more than 100 uploads already, most of them on the mountain wildlife and my own experiences from the wild. Take a time and check the rest of the archive extracts I am sharing. You are always welcome.
Welcome back my friend. Hope you spent your summer vacations well ready for the rest of this year. I have been mostly home ... repairing my Land Rover. She deserved some care of mine after so many years (20) in my hands. This season has been extremely warm, with much to high heath and even fire in the wild mountains especially along the Adriatic Coast. I do not like summers much but winters are what I really prefer. I sorted some equipment and am ready for the winter, perhaps wolves would be an idea to search for this time. Mine at home they say ... will you be able do get there alone again? I know I am getting older as we all do, but still something pulls me hard ... to get up there, high in the mountains. Regards from rainy Croatia.
I have been eagerly awaiting another upload from you & your amazing adventures ~ Beautifully filmed as always ~ You always manage to capture my suspense with your clever sound techniques ~ It is raw but also polished ~ I just love your films ~ Something to look forward to ~ A moment of calm amongst my storm ~ Thank you Xx 🐻
Nice message, indeed. Thanks. I hope soon to start uploading short parts of my long documentary on wilderness especially wolves ... the project that is waiting my decision to finish and complete it like a documentary or break it in some shorter pieces to be uploaded here (!?). It was extremely hard work to edit that from really huge amount of archive footage and a lot of various formats as many different cameras recorded that through many years. Besides I have new footage to sort too what simply shortens my time to ... In a way I am afraid that I won't be able to prepare all the footage for viewing. ... and I am aware that I am the only one who could know to explain what is in fact filmed on it. I am very glad that you noticed the way how and why am I presenting the wilderness that way. My intention has always been to show it as real as possible. The truth. Nature is like a masterpiece in every detail. Paul..
Oh I totally think you should make it like a documentary ~ Of course I would equally enjoy watching many of your short clips & films on here, but I am always greedy for more, so in that respect, a nice lengthy documented piece would be right up my street & I could get lost in it for an hour or so… I know life is short & we can’t make real plans, but I don’t like it when you say you might not be able 2 finish it in your lifetime, it makes me sad, because time is something none of us can turn back or lengthen & as real as those statements are, you are the one with those magical memories locked in time, for always, these are your secret captures & they should remain yours ~ You don’t have to give it all in this short space of time we all have left…you have given us so much already, even just with giving us Lik & his family ~ Your story & travels with one beautiful wolf may have changed the world for many… Keep on keeping on…🐺 Xxdawn
For me ,those are very nice memories. Beeing there last year with Pavle was a great priviledge. I was little bit suprized (shocked ) to see myself with hair. Now Im hairless due to chemotherapies I recieve and I can only dream to go in nature. Also I will soon sell my log lens because I cannot carry it for long distances. I hope next year will be better.
Do not care the hair, my friend, most of men cut the hair today or are bald like I am. Fresh new will come soon. I wish you all possible luck and good health again.
Hello, dear Pavle! 🍃🌹🍃 How beautiful sounds of nature at the beginning of the film! Then my eyes were staring at the way ... dark and only the lights of the car ... dark and only the lights of the car ... Wonderful Mountain Silence ... I wish so much, one more time to experience it .. Total silence, dark forest and ... dawn the next day ... This time you were not alone ... When I looked at the movie, you finished it ... And I said: even longer, please ... Thank you for all the sounds of the forest and for the bear ... fraternal greetings - 😊-Mirka
Oh yes, Mario, a friend of mine who is really gifted photographer. Perhaps photographers do not feel the Nature the same way as cameramen but that difference makes the trip better. Maybe because there is never competition among such. Joke. I simply had the chance to fulfill the old idea to join together and visit the mountains that time. In a way it is easier like that. But mostly I am alone there especially after season of nice weather when there are no visitors at all. Winter is what I like the most ... when the mountain is at its best ... Once you experience the power of it you respect it as it really deserves. This is what I want to share with people. To respect the wilderness. I always wanted to describe how it really is in the wild, almost in real time so that viewer can join my own experience. Hope building such the respect will help at least one animal to survive because people won't disturb the harmony when in the wild. Perhaps even some hunter would change his mind and stop killing those magnificent wild creatures that really have to fight hard to survive all those harsh winters and cold. They do not deserve to get shot at all. Thank you Mirka for your precious comments.
Do not worry, Igor. I am OK except that I hurt my finger on my right hand recently so I am not quite good with typing using keyboard. I returned from the mountains a week ago thou in mid summer it is not much interesting for me especilly if crowds of tourists are on the road. Besides, wildlife comes out latter so I can't film them ... they also spend more time searching for berries and fruits althoug it eams to be all dry due to extremely warm year. I have taken some shots that will be uploaded as soon as I finish editing. I am just sorting that archive footage out. As I mentioned often during the last few months ... a long video on wolves needs to be completed ... the commentary is what I still miss for it. It last more than two hours so perhaps to shorten that all into a few episodes would be quite smart idea. It still takes a time and peace to concentrate on editing. I passed through the Plitvice park and noticed quite a lot of signs of refugees passing over Croatia towards Slovenia and EU. They mix with tourists so it is hard to control whole the situation. Who knows what is going to be in the future. Seems like these all are just sick political games that public can't find real reasons for. I'll contact you as soon as I'll be better with my hand ... this message took me as much time to write as a kid would need in the first class of school to write it. I was working on an four wheel drive and hit my hand with the block of concrete that needed to support the truck ...
@@PavleBalenovic Dear Pavle, it was Nice to hear from your. I am sorry for your injury, I hope your hand will be ok soon. I am looking forward to see your new videos, especially that long one about wolves. I agree with your opinion on the refugees. I have also problems with writing, as my English is nearly nonexistent. All the best, Igor
Just a detail I have to add on English ... as long as I understand you it will all be OK absolutely ... still and always we have to keep our own languages as a treasure not to get lost under internationaly spread English as the most important language. Besides, there is the option to translate any language so that English can't be as dominant as is. People from English speaking areas are almost like privileged by all means. Take care and keep on working on your new ideas.

HRVATSKI PRIJEVOD: Šator u staništu medvjeda (Velebit).
Da, neplanirani posjet planini uvijek nečim posebno iznenadi. Spontani događaji zbilja obogaćuju iskustvo. Posjetili smo taj prostor baš u vrijeme kad se zadnji snijeg otopio.

Hello, dear Pavle! 🍃🌹🍃
How beautiful sounds of nature
at the beginning of the film!
Then my eyes were staring at the way ...
dark and only the lights of the car ...
dark and only the lights of the car ...
Wonderful Mountain Silence ...
I wish so much, one more time to experience it ..
Total silence, dark forest and ... dawn the next day ...
This time you were not alone ...

Just a detail I have to add on English ... as long as I understand you it will all be OK absolutely ... still and always we have to keep our own languages as a treasure not to get lost under internationaly spread English as the most important language. Besides, there is the option to translate any language so that English can't be as dominant as is. People from English speaking areas are almost like privileged by all means.
Take care and keep on working on your new ideas.
