Industrial Cluj Napoca
When steel and concrete collide,
the results are sometimes magnificent,
and other times they are purely spectacular.
Well... only if you see the good side.
Waiting for the rain - Ampoita, Trascau Mts., Romania
Situated only 10 km (6 miles) from Alba Iulia, the Ampoita valley is a heaven for mountain climbers and trekkers as well. The path trough the mountains goes along the course of Ampoita river. The river carved this beautiful landscape trough the calcareous rock and brought with it sediments in which trees and plants caught root. Milions of years of ecological process resulted in this natural wonder that we can enjoy, unfortunately, just for some decades..
...and then, was rain. Clouds started forming over the valley. Mountain clouds, form quickly and vanish as well. The weather is very unpredictable because of the termic inversions and watercourse airflows. It's always good to have a raincoat or a tent...
...and boots. You'll find it irresistible not to climb on the rocks. This will be of great help when you climb. A rope is unnecessary because the terrain permits you to reach the summit of the cliff using just your hands and feet. It's a bit tricky but when you get there, you know it was worth doing it. Up there, you feel you can touch the sky. Magnificent I tell you, truly magnificent
Well well.. I got up here. But does anybody here how do I get down?
Moon Rainbow - Alba Iulia, Romania
I took this picture when I was going home at about 00:50. It was a nice evening, pretty calm, no wind just some clouds in the sky. When I gazed at the moon I saw that it was completely surrounded by a wonderful rainbow. But in the time that I prepared my camera the clouds passed away and I managed to capture only a part of the rainbow. Why did it appear? I think it was the clouds under the moon that made this strange phenomena possible. They were thin alto-stratus clouds and the water particles which formed them, formed this rainbow also. Too bad I didn't had a better camera or just a tripod
Fire - Alba Iulia, Trascau Mts., Romania
Fire. One of the essential elements. Man's existence has always been related to fire. No matter what was lit to give heat,wood, leaves, coal, when a flame aroused, it represented power. Power to survive, power to forge metal, or just to prepare a hot meal. This element as it is destructive it is creative. Like one of the greatest Romanian poets wrote: "Where does the Heaven get it's light? - I know: from the flames of Hell"(Lucian Blaga- Heaven's Light), fire is a creative motive found everywhere in ancient and modern civilizations. Also it is tougth that fire has the ability to purify: nature or man can become pure trough fire - catharsis. You can say that fire is the most important factor that led to human progress. Powerful, destructive, creative and all mighty , fire has a pretty common enemy: water.....
Mistery - Ighis Lake, Medias, Romania
Wonderful sky you might say, but this lake's story lays underwater. Al dough the lake is man-made (I was standing on the dam when I took the picture), in it live strange species of fish and snakes. what's so particular about this creatures is their unusual size. Fishermen caught there some sheat fish measuring in length about 2-2.5 meters(6-8 feet). I didn't believe that until I saw with my own eyes one of this "monsters". It was about 1.5 meters (5 feet)long and weight about 70 kg(140 lbs). Some professional divers went there to explore the lake but they didn't got far and they came back to the surface, packed their equipment and went home saying that they never seen such big snakes or fishes. Locals continued the story and told others that the divers also saw cranes and coffins and all sorts of crazy stuff down there. what is important is that the lake is used by the children in the summer to swim and in the winter to skate and is vital for some fishermen who make their living by selling the "monsters" caught in the Ighis
