Day Festivity - Maramures Photo

Photographer’s Note

Lying on the banks of the Tisa, the river that forms the frontier with Ukraine, towered over by the Carpathian Mountains, Sapanta is a commune with five thousand inhabitants in Maramures (northern Romania).
It's a God-forsaken region where access is difficult, and has long been kept outside great transformations. This relative isolation helps to understand why even to this day the area's inhabitants have preserved an extraordinary bond to their land, an extreme spirit of independence, a pattern of life, and strictly observed traditions.

Hi Guido,

yes, I like this composition. And I also like the theme, the girls with their scarves and skirts. Well done!
