Explore the Elements
My friend Erick from Minority Nomad nominated me into this international travel photography contest held by Thomas Cook on his excellent travel blog. The contest is about Elements and photographs to represent them. I said why not, and here is my take at all 4 of them 🙂 Earth Represents the hard, solid objects of the earth Associated with stubbornness, collectiveness , physicality and gravity Water Represents the fluid, flowing,...
Ce a insemnat #priNeamt in 2014
Probabil ca daca mă urmariti pe Facebook ati vazut ca v-am zapacit cu tag-ul #priNeamt. Sper ca nu v-am plictisit prea tare, pentru ca nici eu nu m-am plictisit niciodata prin acest judet, un izvor nesecat de locuri si frumuseti minunate. Nu am fost singur pe acolo, am fost insotit de alti 60+ “nebuni” de prin toate colturile tarii, dar si din strainatate, evenimentul orgnizat de Eventur fiind acum la ce-a de-a 3-a editie....
Tot ce-i de vazut #priNeamt (editia a III-a)
Nici nu am revenit bine dintr-o tura de 2 saptamani prin Romania, ca in curand plec iar, de data asta #priNeamt. Ce naiba inseamna # inainte de cuvinte? Hai sa o lamurim de la inceput, inainte sa va povestesc ce si cum despre #priNeamt :). Probabil ca ati tot vazut in mediul online tot felul de cuvinte precedate de semnul diez (#). Ei bine, pentru cei mai putin “internauti”, explicatia este urmatoarea: diez-ul inainte de...
Bucharest – the city of contrasts
EN Today is World Storytelling Day and as I’m taking part on the Nikon’s Blogger Challenge across Europe, I’m going to tell you the story of Bucharest in images. Bucharest is a city of contrasts and this is what I’m trying to depict through the photos I’ll take with the Nikon D5300, which is a great camera for this purpose, because it has WiFi and GPS, making my life easier by letting me transmit Live...
Discover Romania – ep. 6
I wanted this year not to miss the “autumn colors” in the Romanian mountains, but somehow (mainly because we were cold during those days) we managed to miss the trip to the mountains when the colors were at their peak (late October). But, things were not completely lost and when our friend from Madrid announced us of their visit to Romania, we knew that we will get them in the mountains to do the trip we already wanted to...
Discover Romania – ep. 5
August was the month of our holiday this year. In the past few years we had all of our holidays outside Romania, in other countries. This year, we chose to travel one more time by car in a tour inside our beautiful country (we did same thing last time when we bought a new car in 2005). And so, because we had once again a new car (the Sonata we bought couple of months ago), we chose to visit some places we’ve never been to...
Discover Romania – ep. 4
This time, I will show you some unique natural phenomenon for the entire Europe. These are the mud volcanoes. The term mud volcano or mud dome are used to refer to formations created by geo-excreted liquids and gases, although there are several different processes which may cause such activity. Hot water mixes with mud and surface deposits. They can be found near Berca, Buzau county, Romania ...
Discover Romania – ep. 3
The Danube Delta is the second largest river delta in Europe, after the Volga Delta, and is the best preserved on the continent. I’ve been several times to visit the Delta and every time I found “her” very wild. A land of “World Heritage Sites”, it remained this way because of the harsh conditions for living. These days you can find modest conditions for accommodation, but it’s best to go sleep in...
Discover Romania – ep. 2
Since the first episode was about the greatest driving road in the world (as car show TopGear said it loud and clear), this second episode is still about a road that we have it here in Romania. It’s the DN 7c, also known as Transalpina. It is reaching higher peaks than Transfagarasanu road, it’s even more spectacular, but until now was very hard to reach and use, since there was little to no asphalt. We crossed it our...
Discover Romania – ep. 1
Because I’ve traveled a lot in the past and I still enjoy travelling, and also because a lot of foreign friends are asking me to do so, I’ve decided to post some photos from the tourist destinations here in Romania. I will post only photos and no travel directions, just to stir you up. In case someone is interested, I will provide as much as I can information about how to reach these zones, over email or in the comment...
