248-2020 – White House with the Red Rooftop


Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is about the white house with the red rooftop I see everyday from my kitchen window. Because our houses are located in a valley, most days the top of the hills are covered with a white blanket of clouds and this is the view I see quite often. Spectacular I would say! Another interesting fact is that the white house with red rooftop was the only house in the Doftana Valley in 2003, when my in-laws started the construction of their house. Now there are more than […]

235-2020 – Gulas


Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is about a traditional dish in Transilvania: Gulas Our neighbours invited us to join them for lunch and they cooked a wonderful Gulas with chicken and polenta.

Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is an aerial image of Bucegi National Park in Romania. Initially, we joined the queue to hop on the cable car from Busteni to Babele, situated at about 2200 m altitude, but after one hour, we realised that we didn’t advance at all, so we end up taking a taxi to “Cabana Piatra Arsă” via Sinaia. From there, it was a nice climb up all the way up to “Babele” aka “The old ladies” and “the Sphinx”. Like, comment & share!
