***** Crimean peninsula ***** ( UKRAINE )
 Jutting from the northern coast of the Black Sea, Crimea is connected to the Ukrainian mainland by the 3-4 mile (5-6.5 km) wide Isthmus of Perekop. The size of the peninsula is 150 miles (240 km) at its widest point from east to west and 100 miles from north to south. Northern and central part of the Crimean Peninsula is plain steppe. While the Crimean Mountains run three ridges from Sevastopol to Feodosia along the southern coast of the peninsula. Those mountains protect about a 2 miles ( 3 km) wide strip of the Black Sea coast from the strong winds, making a subtropical paradise of beaches, orchards, vineyards and gardens.  http://lyoshko.livejournal.com/17199.html image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/azhitsky image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/sanja_byelkin  http://lyoshko.livejournal.com/17199.html  http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/imorkovko  http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/vladimir-seroshtan    by gapred  http://lyoshko.livejournal.com/17199.html image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/28680977@N05 image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/habi image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/phespirit image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/impuls-f image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/octopuzz image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/28680977@N05      by YURI LEBENKOV http://www.panoramio.com image hosted on flickr  http://www.flickr.com/photos/polinazaitseva
