Clouds sail the cold winter sky above Zavižan and Velebit in the night of almost a full moon

From Krk island bridge and Urinj oil refinery on the coast near Rijeka, step by step, the mountains rise up to parade the western peaks of Julian Alps in Slovenia and Italy; from the 210km distant Monte Canin (2587m) on the west (left), over Jof Montasio (2754m) in the middle to Jof Fuart (2666m) and Krn (2244m) on the eastern edge of the photo (right)

Clouds of the approaching low pressure Andrija cracked before the sunset above Italy, and lit up the sky behind the 170km distant Monte Conero (572m), home mountain of Ancona, while on the right is 240km distant Monte Igno (1435m) in the Apennines

Rare extreme visibility view of Pale di San Martino group in the Italian Dolomites from North Velebit, a incredible 300km away!

In the foreground is Plavnik island, then comes the ridge of Cres island, with Istra peninsula further back.

While it is quite hot and busy these days on the coast, one can always find some freshness and solitude in the mountain forests of Lika region...
