A Few Pictures From Romania--A Great Place To Visit!
 
9 Attachment(s)
Some of you know I just returned from a 2 week photography trip vacation from Romania, and have asked to see a few photos. It was a great trip, thoroughly enjoyed it, and hope you enjoy this quick arm chair photo tour of the countryside of Romania.

Oh my....your pictures capture what I have in my head what Romania would look like! We have young friends that moved here and now live in a huge city...I can't imagine the difference for them! Beautiful! Thank you for posting!

Beautiful......not much if that here in USA.....bulldoze it to make a subdivision or a shopping mall...although,is that true in larger, more densely populated areas in Romania too...... Loved the picture of those church steeples peeking out from the treetops...peaceful...

What a marvelous group of photos! You must have had a wonderful time. You have such a perfect eye for pictures. I especially love the one of the woman leaning out of the green window frame. Just gorgeous! And that young lady's vest! Wow!
Thanks for sharing, it was amazing! Pat

Yes most of these were taken in Transylvania--we started up north and worked our way south through the Carpathain Mountains to Bucharest.

My husbands maternal grandparents were from Transylvania. That was the name of their mountain cabin in the Snowy Range Mountains of Wyoming. I have seen pictures of the church in which they were married.

Awesome pictures.

Just an idea, i dont have a clue where in Illinois you live but get south of I-80 and head to the rural areas of Illinois. Lots of beautiful churches, town squares, 19th century homes, etc. Just need to explore beyond the interstate. Pls do not take offense ....those of us who live "suburban" get accustomed to the tear down and build phenom. I am guilty of it . There are lots af amazing small town sights to see, farms, etc. We have a beautiful countryside.

After a trip to France in 2000 i no longer get to excited about "some" tear downs. Europe has some really old structures that are built to last and have. ,talk about narrow side streets. Loved it.

Ancient cities, with architecture now lost to the modern world, beauty that survives in the buildings and in the people. The great sense of dignity and serenity that shows in their faces. Thank you for sharing with us.

Karen,
i use the panasonic GH3 camera body and several different lenses--most of there were taken with the 12-35mm and 35-100mm lenses. I don't process or retouch my photos like the pros do--just too time consuming! I'd rather quilt when I get back home!

southernmema 10-28-2014 04:18 AM

Your wonderful pictures speak volumes! Thank you for sharing.

just joan 10-28-2014 04:27 AM

Your pictures are wonderful. I realy like the ones of the people, their looks. Thanks for sharing.

Momala24 10-28-2014 04:53 AM

Truly amazing photographs! You have the eye that I have always hoped for when taking pictures. We have enjoyed looking at them so much! Thank you.
