Făgăraș Mountains: At The Lake Capra

My old dream is watching the sunrise and the sunset at the top of the mountains. For this purpose it's an advantage if the quarters is high enough, so I don't need to stumble too much in the dark. That's why I chose the Capra lake in Făgăraș mountains, where there is a tent site to sleep at even in september if it's not too cold. I left the car at the top of the Transfăgărășan highway and climbed up with full backpack to the Capra lake at 2230 m. From here I started at every dawn and evening to the Capra (2494m) or to the Iezerul Caprei (2417m) peaks.

The Transfăgărășan looks like this from the Capra saddle:


The weather didn't make the photos look too exciting but one evening came some clouds:



After sunset the clouds were still floating among the peaks:


I would like to return to this place later as there are a lot of sights farther on from the lake.
