A Dry Sunset From Nanos Range South-Western Side Moorland ("Gmajna"/"Landa Carsica"); Coastal Karst Region, Ajdovščina, Slovenija
18-august-2021: the upper part of the western and south-western slopes of the Adriatic/Black See Watershed (and of the higher Coastal Karst reliefs) are often "bare", covered only with long gnarled perennial grass (moorland), often golden as it is burned by frost in winter and by the sun in summer.
In addition to the calcareous soil, devoid of surface water, on these slopes the East-North/East strong Bora wind has katabatic character (leeward falling), therefore drier, more intense and more furiously gusty, limiting the life of the tall trees to small, less exposed, areas
Of course on these meadows it is not recommended to play football or rugby...
