Apuseni Mountains: Spring Flowers

I set off to Padiș plateau this time to see the crocuses which have started blooming already. There were snowdrops there too of course:

Bükk Mountains: Among Spring Flowers

 During the long weekend I spent 2 days in the Bükk Mountains searching spring flowers:

I didn't miss the surroundings of Hotel Palota at Lillafüred:

Vlădeasa Mountains

It was expected cold but sunny weather for the weekend, with some snowfall before. I've been planning a trip for a while to Vlădeasa peak and this time I went for it. I expected more snow up there, but the snowy pines look nice anyway in the afternoon ...:

... and in the evening as well:

Great Fatra

 

I haven't been to Fatra mountains yet, but I got here in the end of October. On the first day I made a tour touching Tlstá and Ostrá peaks. At the Tlstá peak I found a group of resting chamois:

I was mostly curious about the spectacular peak of Ostrá:

It's impressive! I will return to this place in the future! :)

On my way home I stopped for a few shots at the foot of the High Tatras:

Finally I made a rest at the Zadielska Gorge:

Padiș: Autumn Moments

Autumn in Padiș can be beautiful, espacially when the weather and the lights are favorable. This was only partly true this time. Here, I expected a nice sunset at the Boga belvedere:

Next day I set off to the Evantai waterfall:

The water yield decreased everywhere, the waterfall was no exception:

Play of lights at the Galbena Rock:

High Tatras: At The Green Lake Again

This time I went to one of my favourite places: to the Green Lake in High Tatras. In autumn I haven't been here yet. I counted on some more colorful trees but the place is beautiful anyway:

You can meet these confidential alpine accentors practically on every peak:

I recorded this bird on Velká Svištovka peak.

The lake is not called "Green Lake" by chance:

I met this bird on the Jahňací peak next day:

Clouds came and went all day:

Next morning at the White Lake:

Twilight at the Medodoly valley:

Farewell to the Green Lake:

I spent here four beautiful days but next time I have to come here a little later when the trees are even more colorful. :)

 

Piatra Craiului Mountains

The Piatra Craiului Mountains has been on my mind for a while. I've had a free week and I decided to go and climb it. I spent one night in the Ascuțit shelter on top of the mountain. The evening was beautiful, ...:

... but the morning was more exciting: chamoices were coming and going nearby, fortunately they were not too timid:

Sunrise:

Next day I visited the Zărnești Gorges:

On my way home I took a rest at Remeți Gorges:
