Photographer’s Note

Cape Kamenjak – the southernmost tip of Istria – is a protected landscape 9.5 km long, 1.5 km wide, with altogether 30 km of indented coastline. No place in the world is the sea so blue-green, so clean as here at the southernmost tip of Istria. There are plenty of rocky beaches, as well as pebbly coves.

Cape Kamenjak used to be a military area but it was proclaimed a protected landscape in 1996 and opened for the public. Cars must pay an entrance fee and tourists are not allowed to stay overnight.

The great attraction of Cape Kamenjak is jumping into the sea from high cliffs (this one is about 10 metres).

I love the clarity of the water in this shot and the jumpers are placed well in the frame. Good lively colours too.
Best wishes
Mark

Beautiful shot! I like the contrast of the colours red/orange rocks versus blue/green sea. The two jumping boys almost look as if they are attached to the cliff's edge suspended in mid-air.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Laszlo,
That water is so clear that it looks like the would hit straight into rocks. But I guess they know what they are doing. Action shot with perfect timing. I guess red cast on their backs come from light refelcting from the rocks.

Bonjour Laszlo,
Un magnifique jeux de lumière, la mer est claire ce qui permet de voir le fond. Les couleurs sont superbes.
