Transfăgărășan, Bâlea Lac

Last weekend I went on a mini road trip to relax after finishing my exams. It was nice to get away from everything for a while and to breathe some fresh mountain air. When I was little I used to spend quite a lot of time of my summer holidays in the mountains, and I never realized how much I missed that until now. The photos don't do real justice of the beauty of these places, but they should give you an idea of how serene everything is up there.

Brave people paragliding :)

This was a rough selection of photos, but my weekend didn't end here, so there will be more soon. :)
