🎂 Our Carpathian Life 🏔️ Little Dominika Turns 2 with Love, Balloons & Cake 🎈🍰

What is it that calls you here—this ache for remoteness, this hunger for the ungraspable? In Transylvania’s interior, where the Carpathians rise like a cathedral carved from the bones of the earth, silence is not the absence of sound—it is an ancient presence. The air itself feels ceremonial, a slow incantation of mist and memory. Pines stand like sentinels, their resin thick with the scent of forgotten centuries, while the clouds drag their ghostly bellies along ridgelines that seem to breathe.

The Carpathian mountain range stretches for 900 miles across eight Central European countries. Its forests, some of them over 150 years old, are one of Europe’s last biodiversity havens. But « on average a forest area of more than five football pitches is lost to wood extraction every single hour », according to Greenpeace. #AFP  Damien SIMONART  Janek SKARZYNSKI #forest #environment | AFP News Agency | Facebook
