snijezno bijeli grebeni (South Downs-a), grebeni bijeli poput kreca


Explanation:

ovdje se radi o Seven Sisters cliffs, hridinama koje se izdizu iznad mora, na uscu rijeke Cuckmere u britanskom South Downs-u.

te hridine su tako bijele da podsjecaju na kredu, vjerovatno su morska so i vjetrovi doprinijeli tome da su tako bijele. (mozda i sam sastav stijena, nisam se udubljivala u to)

Mislim da je u ovom kontekstu najbolji prevod 'snijezno bijeli grebeni'ili 'snijezno bijele hridine' posto se kod nas bijela boja uglavnom poredi sa snijegom ili mlijekom.

bijeli poput kreca meni ne zvuci najljepse, ali je jedna od mogucnosti.
Bijel kao krec se kaze za nekoga ko je bolestan.

posto je jezik koji trazite srpskohrvatski, ja sam koristila ijekavicu koju obicno koristim.
