AUTUMN SUNSET IN ȚARA BÂRSEI, ROMANIA
Țara Bârsei or the Burzenland is a historic and ethnographic area in southeastern Transylvania, Romania with a mixed population of Romanians, Germans, and Hungarians.The Burzenland lies within the Southern Carpathians mountains ranges. Its most important city is Brașov. Burzenland is named after the stream Bârsa which flows into the Olt river. The Romanian word bârsă is supposedly of Dacian origin.
This is an ancient land where although modern life has creeped into the bigger cities, simple life somehow managed to cling on. Remote villages on hilltops, almost inaccessible during winter, are a photographer's dream. This is a series of photos I took on the photo trip I took there this autumn. Enjoy! More to come. 😊
