This summer I managed to get to Gilcescu. We started at about 2100 m and we got on top of Mohoru 2337 m after one hour and a half. You can admire Mohoru in the photo below.

Here is a view from top of Mohoru …

and a view from the road we left behind …

It was a great feeling to be on top of Mohoru because it was the first time we managed to climb it as every time we tried it was raining with ice and we didn’t had the chance to get to 2337 m point. We rested there for 10 minutes.

On the road we met with a herdsman, his sheep ….

… and his dog

We walked for one hour and got to this wonderful place where looking down we could finally see Galcescu Lake.

To be continued …

I was born in a city near the Danube river, then at the age of 16 I moved in a bigger city at the shore of the Black Sea. Eight years ago I moved far away from the sea and I miss it.

This year I had the chance to go see the Mediterranean sea and I couldn’t leave away from the shore. I love the smell of the sea, the sand, the air, the waves, the noise.

I took this photo in Spain on 4 January 2009. I was there with couple of my friends to celebrate the New Year.

Here we were on our way to Oropesa de Mar and I couldn’t resist getting out of the car to take some photos.

I hope you will enjoy it.

National Geographic published a collection of photographs of extreme places on Earth. I guess I will never get to see these places in person so I just have to admire the photographs.

My favorite is the first one with the blue iceberg and all those cute penguins on top of it.

What is your favorite?

You all know what aurora borealis is. But not all of us have seen this amazing phenomenon.
I wish I would live the day to catch one of this moments. I read the opinions of all of those that captured these wonderful moments and I could not agree more. It’s amazing! It doesn’t matter you stay awake maybe an entire night watching the sky in a cold weather. What your eyes see it’s worth millions.

Here are just a few of the millions of photos that you can find on the web searching for aurora borealis:
