It's fairly common though but maybe because of that is not the main object to take photo of although I really think it looks interesting ;) what kind of group is that? this is also a very interesting facebook page about Croatian wilderness: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wild-Croatia/360401230692545?fref=ts
