Mašun Hamlet-Guest House (1025m a.s.l.) after a Heavy Snow Shower (14cm/40min), During One of My Night Crossings of the Mount Snežnik Virgin Forest Looking for...Snow; Internal Karst-Dinaric Region-Notranjska/Snežnika, Slovenija

31-January-2022: when, near you, there are contiguous areas with different meteorological and micro-climatic peculiarities, something is always found (even in a winter that has offered little more than nothing), but you must be ready to seize the opportunities given; this is not easy but sometimes very sathisfactory.

 

The tail of a cold front from the North, one of the very few that touched the area (always at night, no conditions!) during a short retreat of the African Anticyclone, after having cutted off the Alps and Friuli-Venezia Giulia (sheltered, in winter, by the Tauern chain, in Austria) reformed between the Slovenian plain and the Eastern Karst Region/Northern Dinarides with a series of snow showers in the form of squall-line.

 

Not for nothing I was there...

 

As soon as the fast snowfall stopped, I thought I'd take some photos in the only area that is always illuminated in that wide virgin Forest at night.

 

Artificial light is certainly not like solar one, but, also in this case, it is "of necessity-virtue".

 

The lights with different tones, reflected from the snow and accumulated by the long pose, create a "carnival" of particular colors.
