Perfect winter day...

Perfect winter day on Velebit! Snow is hard packed making walking easy, without leaving any crampon prints behind. Photo taken on the descent from Vaganski Vrh (1757m) towards Paklenica valley (via Lipa Staza route) and further towards coast (Paklenica hut route), altitude around 1700m. Night fell long ago till we made it there because from this point it takes around 5h till parking in Velika Paklenica canyon. Below is Velebit channel while further behind, shinning below Sun, is sea and islands of Zadar archipelagos. January 2003. Photo: Aleksandar Gospic
