Ai-Petri. Clouds

Title of the article - "operation from clouds" is most clear reflects character of our operation. A majority of time we were above than clouds. It is a little strange for the man all life living in city, and got used that the clouds are above, instead of below.

At a view to Ai-Petri from Yalta, Ai-Petri stands in clouds, and at a view to Yalta from Ai-Petri we see only clouds.

The special microclimate of this area promotes that the clouds permanently are on Ai-Petri or a little below it. As a result of it often walk till the plateau turns to walk on clouds.

By the our radioamateur operation we often transmited: "we work from a cloud!". And it was real so. On each expedition there are remarkables, and I consider, that on our expedition it there was a greatest remarkable. Each participant of our expedition has visited in a cloud!

Often from Ai-Petri the sea and Yalta is not visible, in most we saw clouds. The clouds curled, mounted, lowered, and established a beautiful show. The aspect of clouds at the night was especially beautiful, when they highlighted by the moon. Unfortunately, our cameras had no sufficient ability to fix this most beautiful and unforgettable show. But those who has visited on Ai-Petri never would be forget it.
