Făgăraș Mountains-Padiş: Looking For Crocuses

I added 2 more days to the weekend at first of May and travelled to the Făgăraș Mountains to see the crocuses in the Sâmbetei valley.

This morning I started my way to the Făgăraș mountains and I was planning to spend 3 days at Bâlea lake. I arrived in the afternoon having got tired, but I climbed up to the Paltinu peak with pleasure. On my way back I waited the sunset up there:

The next day I climbed up almost at the same place enjoying the scenic sunset again:

On the third day I enjoyed the view to the lake from the Iezerul Caprei peak:

On the next morning I gave a try recording the birds nearby, I managed to capture some shots of redstarts ...:

On my way home I stopped at midway having a look at the Pișoaia waterfall in the Apuseni mountains. Although there was little water coming down from the top, I liked it:
