A beautiful play of light and shadow atop the Monte Cristallo cable car station. There’s a secondary cable station going up to the cabin on top, but it has been out of order for a few years now, the only way to get up there is by foot. Not a bad background, though. Clouds, mist, some trekkers on the path, all good elements for a lovely shot.

I returned to “Stana lui Burnei” where the one day hike to ‘s highest peak, , starts, with a better composition in mind than 3 years ago and better gear, hoping to get a more pleasant shot of the valley.

It involved driving for 9 hours, 4 of which through a rough country road in the forest, now packed with tourists and hikers, hoping I would get some clouds and a more dimmed light, but forgot that in the morning, the sun relative to my composition is coming from behind me.

So I am not trully happy with the final result, but I now know the setup for next spring.

After the first shot, I also added some crops, and if you have a good eye, you can spor some snakes in rhe last one :)

The “Vânătările Ponorului” waterfall near .eu in Alba county was one spectacular site to see. With it’s 70m waterdrop along the rock wall, it is humbling as well as loud. Most amazing thing.. I had the place all to myself, as it is not immediately on a tourist path. Notice the lovely “bathtub” 1 third down the fall.. I think it is accesible via some ropes?

Little analogous colored houses. I was always curious to see how they look inside, this architecture is typical for Transylvania and still holds many secrets from me.

Wanted to scout the village of Sirnea for a while now and I finally found some time to do that, in the winter, which actually worked in my favour, as the entire village was sprinkled with this white powder.

I found this little village as quiet as I saw it in the summertime, and I do hope I’ll get a chance to stay for a few days next summer.

You can get an amazing view of the Bucegi mountains from the highest vantage point near , with lovely patches of trees and scattered cottages. One day it could be foggy, and the next day the skies could open up and the sun would just flood the valleys, such as the day I took this shot.
