CHURCH TOWERS PEAK THROUGH HEAVY NIGHT TIME FOG IN LIPTOVSKY MIKULAS
The towers of the Evangelical (L) and Roman Catholic (R) churches of
Liptovsky Mikulas peak through dense fog as the rest of the northern Slovak
town is buried under heavy fog caused by a temperature inversion late
December 6, 2000. Several days of weather that sees warmer temperatures in
the mountains than in the valleys is causing a lack of snow in the ski

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Joe Klamar, the ethereal beauty of Liptovsky Mikulas is unveiled as church towers emerge from the depths of a heavy nighttime fog. The contrasting spires of the Evangelical and Roman Catholic churches pierce through the dense mist, creating an enchanting scene that seems almost otherworldly. Taken on December 6,2000, during a temperature inversion period in northern Slovakia, this image showcases the unique weather phenomenon that has left the rest of Liptovsky Mikulas hidden beneath a thick blanket of fog. As warmer temperatures prevail in the mountains compared to the valleys, ski resorts near this picturesque town suffer from a lack of snow just weeks before hosting the Women's FIS World Cup giant slalom and slalom events on December 20-21. The photograph captures both nature's whimsy and its impact on human activities. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly unrelated elements like temperature inversions can have far-reaching consequences for various industries such as skiing tourism. Joe Klamar skillfully encapsulates this moment with his lens, offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the mystical allure of fog-shrouded landscapes and their practical implications. This stunning visual portrayal requires no rights clearances or permissions for use; it stands alone as an evocative testament to nature's power to transform familiar scenes into something extraordinary.
