Limfjord, an overview of the waters and Mother Nature.
Made by STEHOUWER AND RECIO
LIM FJORD GENERAL INFORMATION The Lim valley (Limska draga or Limska dolina) is the 35 km long valley of the river Pazinčica, which transforms into the Lim bay (Limski zaljev), a 10 kilometer long estuary. The Croats sometimes also call it Limski kanal (Lim Channel), due to its narrow width. The estuary is sometimes called a fjord, although it is not in fact a fjord but a ria, because it was not carved by a glacier but by the river eroding the ground on its way to the Adriatic Sea, when the sea level was lower. Owing to its geological history, this estuary is one of the most instructive examples of limestone hydrological development. The Lim stream used to flow through the valley but dried up regularly, and was really only present after the heavy rain. The Lim estuary has the appearance of a canyon. The side rises to 150 m, sinking to 20 m when they reach the sea; they are overgrown with maquis and have some special characteristics. The southern bank, facing the north, is covered with decidius trees (oak and ash), while the north bank, facing the sun, has more evergreen flora. The vegetation has recently suffered a great deal from fires. The estuary is rich in fish, and high quality oysters and mussels Because of the special conditions of the sea water in the channel (less salt content, a higher concentration of dissolved oxygen and well-researched temperature gradients) sea flora and fauna are particularly well developed. The channel is a natural breeding ground and wintering place for many breeds of fish. For this reason it is a special reserve and is protected by a conservation order. The locals grow some fish and oysters there. Source: Wikipedia PHOTOGRAPHERS IMPRESSIONS: We went for a boattrip here and definitely is a beautiful green canal/fjord or estuary (whatever...) But it was not exactly what I was hoping for. We went in the afternoon and the light wasn't that good, we should have gone a bit later. But even then I could only say to people they better combine this boattrip with something else, like a short visit to Porec, which is on the same route. This trip was, at least for me, a bit dissapointing. Anyway, I took some pictures here that aren't to bad and here they are. If you want, view large:

Stall selling Olive Oil
Made by wiliam
In this stall a nice lady sold olive oil, liquor and honey. This is where we bought our supply, because she was the only one that sold in a friendly way instead of trying to sell stuff the persuasive way.

I have been experimenting with shamelessly freaking out photos with Snapseed, a pretty good iOS app for shamelessly freaking out photos. This is a Fjord in Istria, Croatia

Stayed at the Koversada appartments in Vrsar, and I spied these through the fence along the road towards the main entrance.

This little fella was investigating the front patio of my appartment after dark. A lurker perhaps.
