Romanian Photo Opportunities ..A beautiful country where nature abounds

These are photo opportunities that I missed due to not being quick enough, not being able to stop driving due to narrow roads and / or no pavements, no parking spaces, invasion of privacy, or simply forgetting to take my camera out with me;

Fields of sweetcorn as far as the eye can see

Fields of sunflowers turning their heads to the sun

Jays jaywalking

Woodpeckers pecking

Storks flying

Storks nests 3 feet in diameter atop telegraph poles

An eagle strutting in a field

Horses and carts full of people and hay

Romanies selling their wares

Shrines at the roadside

Water pipes at the roadside and people queuing to fill containers with  water from the streams

Little old ladies dressed in widows weeds

A bride in a white 'meringue' wedding dress sitting in the middle of a park bench,(taking up the whole
bench)

The restaurant at the summit of the Carpathian mountains

The lake in the Carpatian mountains

The inside of Peles Castle
Well, we did take a few pics there before we were told  off!

I must try harder to take some more photographs as Romania is a diverse country with lots of natural beauty and evidence of local culture. Here is one photo of the shrine on our street in Breaza but I have seen hundreds more whizzing past on bends in the road. One has Jesus completely wrapped in clear plastic as if to keep him dry in the rain and snow.

This shrine has quite recently been re-roofed with metal sheets and is well looked after. Alot of people cross themselves when they walk past.

Behind this shrine there is a steep drop into a gorge with a river, a railway and the equivalent of the M1, but you would never guess it as it looks like a quiet country road.

Night night or Noapte buna as they say in Romania  x
