City
Ljubljana
Capital of Slovenia
What guided this image
- Landmarks
- Ljubljana Castle; Triple Bridge; Dragon Bridge; Franciscan Church of the Annunciation; Plečnik's; Ljubljana Cathedral; Ljubljanica; Old Town
- Viewpoint
- Favor a slightly elevated viewpoint along the Ljubljanica River (such as from the river embankment near Cobblers' Bridge or looking toward Prešeren Square), showing the river curving below the forested Castle Hill, with Plečnik's bridges in the middle-ground and the snowy Alps faint on the horizon.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the heavily forested slopes of Castle Hill, the weeping willows along the Ljubljanica River, Tivoli Park, and the emerald water itself.
- Guarded against
- Avoid making Ljubljana look like Vienna (no vast imperial palaces), Zagreb (no high neo-Gothic cathedral spires), or Venice (no tidal lagoon).
