Beautiful autumn pictures of Romania by photographer Sorin Onisor. Impressive, colorful, and simply ... wonderful 🥰

Another picture by photographer Sorin Onisor, which he "captured" a few days ago. In the countryside, especially older people still live with great hardships, especially in winter. But ... despite everything, fly swatter held high 😅, people here are in many ways much more content and happier than we are with all our "luxury" 🥰

“Bunicii” for grandparents, and “bunica” for grandmother (Oma). In Romania, family has a much higher importance than in Germany, and grandmothers, who continue working alongside their families even into old age, have been and still are the backbone of many families.

A hard life, yet always there for everyone – this defines the daily reality of these women. And… they are and will remain the best cooks in the whole country, and we can confirm this from our own experience.

In many villages, especially in the foothills, there are usually no shoulders along the roads. Neither outside nor inside settlements. And... anyone who wants to park here has to be creative! And, by our (German) standards, a bit daring too 🙈

But it's the perfect parking spot to check the undercarriage in time before winter! 😅

We followed the Zitzmann family through Romania, who not only allowed us to use the photos from the trip (end of September 2023) but also permitted us to share their experiences and impressions. Thank you 🥰

"Romania, Day 16 — we drive about 90 km over the Transfagarasan Pass; it is open only four months a year — for the rest of the year the high road is closed because of the long winter. Many media call and write about this road as the 'most beautiful' mountain pass road. It is certainly unique in that you can see free‑living bears there. The high road was built in just 4½ years and its highest point is 2,042 meters.

By order of the then head of state Nicolae Ceaușescu (dictator), the high road was intended, besides a military purpose — caused by the tense relations with the then Soviet Union after the events of the Prague Spring — also to serve a tourist purpose. Thus, the mountain road connection was meant to enable rapid troop movements. After four and a half years of construction, the road was opened on 20 September 1974. 🙂😎"
