Photographer’s Note

Well, it doesn't look like a mountain peak, does it? :)
Choosing a title for this picture, I desided to translate the name of the pictured cliff. For this, I needed a dictionary. To my surprise, the traslation was just 'peak'; in a sense 'pointed front part of a cap'.
The mountain on the picture is Northern Demerdzhi, and it shows a typical Crimean shape: a steep slope from one side, and a plato from another. In this case the plato makes a kind of a jump right before the semicircular edge, which gave it a name 'peak of a cap'. In Russian, though, the word (koziryok) does not have even a distant resemblance with words meaning peak of mountain (pik, vershina).
