ON THE HILL NEAR PAZIN

Pazin is a small city built at the bottom of a bowl. Or a basin. Something like that. It's a place surrounded by hills. Yesterday I had to do some stuff there so I took a few shots for today's post which won't be very long.

I don't know what this is exactly.

It looks like a concrete silo. Or some similar industrial structure.

This wide shot shows a good chunk of the valley, almost a half, I think.

On the way back home, I stopped to take a few shots in the area about twenty kilometers from Pazin.

You can see my car parked by the side of the road in this photograph.

Here you can admire the dead leaves before my feet.
