Just a reminder.

Făgăraş Mountains are the highest mountains of the Southern Carpathians, in Romania. The highest peaks are Moldoveanu (2544 m), Negoiu (2535 m), Viştea Mare (2527 m), Lespezi (2522 m), Vânătoarea lui Buteanu (2507 m), and Dara (2501 m).

They are bordered in the north by the Făgăraş Depression, through which the Olt river flows, and in the west by the Olt Valley (Valea Oltului). The city Făgăraş lies north of the mountains. The most important city in the area is Sibiu.

A road called the Transfăgărăşan is constructed across the Făgăraş Mountains.

You can find many glacier lakes in the Făgăraş Mountains. Bâlea (2034 m, 46,508 m², 11.35 m deep) is the largest lake. The highest lake is in the Hărtopul Leaotei glacial valley. The deepest glacial lake is Podragu (2140 m, 28,550 m²m 15.5 m deep). Other lakes: Urlea (2170 m, 20,150 m²), Capra (2230 m, 18,340 m²).

The Făgăraş Mountains are a very popular hiking, trekking and skiing destination in Romania.

Hello Lucian! Wonderful landscape. Amazing mountains. Fantastic clouds. Good perspective. Original composition. Perfect capture. Good luck!

Nice B/W. I like when it comes with the sky really dark and clouds brilliant.

Hi Lucian,

Nice mountain ridge! What kind of camera did you use?!
It has the softness of film, which is pleasant. Was it film and then scanned, or was it digital and then converted.
Nice work.

Greetings,
Dennis

Bonsoir,
belle photo NB de ces montagnes avec bonne luminosité et belle vue large et profonde.
Ces nuages au fond donne une bonne profondeur de champ a votre photo.
