October Morning in the Rural Heaven of Romania - Fundătura Ponorului
There are places where those who enter come out as different people, having left something of their soul in that place and taking a piece of its atmosphere with them forever. Mostly unknown to even Romanian travelers, the country has some corners of heaven hidden deep between the mountains. There, time and space are only relative concepts and one can have a clear image of what life used to be like and maybe what it's supposed to be. Traveling should be so much more than just seeing and forgetting, it should be about understanding and growing from the experience... about immersing into the spirit of the place and taking time to observe and grasp the deeper meaning of everything one feels. Far from the whirlwind of the unleashed world, Romania still has places where the authentic rural life hasn't changed much in decades, if not centuries. Where elsewhere in the modern world such places can only be seen in museums and books, some remote villages and hamlets in Romania are unique examples of a perfect and peaceful way of living in perfect harmony with the natural world.
