Thank you all for your nice comments. I appreciate it!
@Gerrit: From time to time I do some panoramas as well, but this time I did not take pics in that style.
@Mike: I thought about that as well. But unfortunatelly I had to go before the night came. And the full Moon was almost there! Actually the third photo from the bottom was made at more dark time and brightness is partly also from the Moon. I will have to try the nighttime shooting next time.
@Adam & Dennis: Actually this happens few times per winter (from 1 to 2 days in a row to more than a week sometimes), depends on weather pattern across Europe. When a big ridge comes from Azores low cloudiness and fog is located in the north Italy as winds are more from SW, but more often when big blocks are more over continental Europe, low cloudiness is located more inland, the winds are from NE. It looks exactly the opposite like this time. Here is the sounding for the closest station that day...massive subsidence under the ridge is obvious:

Here you can see the topography around Alps...just to have an imaginations how it looks over here...(compare it with the satellites below):

This image is the VIS satellite from MODIS for the day I was there. My location - peak of Mt. Nanos is located in the SW Slovenia, I marked it with a blue dot:

Usually the top for low cloudiness is between 800 in 1300m AGL so its pretty easily visible on some mountain peaks around here.
Here is the situation on Dec 29th 2007 when it was the opposite, you can see the obvious difference though.
