Happy New Year for 2013, dear friends, I am back from the mountains and ready to rock! I may sound very dynamic right now, but the truth is that it is difficult to come back to Earth (literally) and get re-adjusted to the pace of "normal" life. On the top of the mountains, there is a different vibe. Time does not exist. Nor do deadlines. It's just you face to face with your freedom.
It took us a 7 hours drive to get from our home town to the base of the mountain. And we climbed on foot for 4 hours, more than 1,000 m altitude (from 700 m high to 1720 m, where Cabana Malaiesti is). At times, my feet would move automatically, on a little strip of icy snow, but it was all worth it. The sun had been shining every day, bathing the peaks in a blinding light.
You could see other mountain peaks in the distance and they all looked like the waves of a beautiful sea. But this is a sea of beauty in the clouds, close to forever. I am the kind of girl who puts on her mountain boots to celebrate New Year's Eve, which reminds me to guide you to my post last year (different mountain, 8 hours drive from home, 1858 m altitude).
Texture one: the blinding sun.
Texture two: the purest snow for you.
Texture three: the mountain rocks and me.
Texture four: a spring runs for more.
Texture five: a woolly dog digs my vibe.
What a fabulous adventure and a perfect way to ring in the NEw Year!! And cute dog :)

ReplyDeleteWhat can I say - it was worth going there and now I am glad to be back among friends!
DeleteBine-ai revenit, Miha.
ReplyDeleteCe vacanţă frumoasă!
Întotdeauna mi-a plăcut la Mălăieşti... parcă nicăieri stelele nu sunt mai frumoase!
Adevarul e ca in fiecare seara aveam un ritual: ne minunam de cate stele sunt, ce sclipitoare sunt, apoi pandeam luna sa apara de dupa peretele "caldarii" in care e construita cabana.
DeleteSI pe drumul de intoarcere, seara tarziu pe la Bacau, deja nu mai erau aceleasi stele...
Beautiful photos,that mountain looks so amazing!
ReplyDeleteMehaa Gorgeous! You lucky girl! Great photos too happy new year 2013

ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine! I am quite lazy myself, but I never say no to mountain tracking, because when you get high up there on top of everything, it is surely worth it!
