Făgăraș Mountains: Where One Should Return To

As part of a six day jurney to Transylvania this morning we drive up from our quarters at the beginning of the Transfăgărășean road to the Bâlea lake at 2034 m. From there we set off towards the Capra lake on the hiking trail. Slowly clouds start to flow from the valley towards the peak and we can't see anything soon except the stones around us. We know that we should go upwards and after half an hour we reach the Capra saddle. Meanwhile the clouds start to disappear and the 2507 m high Buteanu peak becomes visible behind the mist:

On the other side of the saddle near the Capra lake we see this landscape:

At the outflow of the lake another small shallow lake has formed:


Getting back to the Bâlea lake the sky has cleared up:

There are beautiful places here which I'd like to record so I have to return here and of course I want to climb the peak as well which was cancelled this time.
