The Gloomy Road to Slatina (or Hell )

Travelling in the southern Romania ,in a cold february afternoon.

I was going to visit the city of Slatina, Olt County . The roads were  empty, with a void, almost Russian atmosphere which was very strange since this part of the country is usually crowded, sunny and friendly. Alas, the day these photos were shot the gloomy air made the whole place hard to recognise. We felt like in a Nikita Mihalkov movie.

Still, it was beautiful and dark, in a dangerous ,  frightening way I will alawys remember ... This is part of my southern Romania. I was born here and I love this place.
