Winter tale

Once upon a time, there was winter... A winter with so much beauty, with its frames like in a black and white dream, with frozen images of time and space, with slow motion snowflakes. Did you ever stopped to listen the snowflakes falling? It's magic, it's a world of childhood joy, a landscape of deep silence, an image of nature resting, waiting to reborn again in its journey to nowhere.
I would say now that winter is my favourite season... but then I remember the summer, with its stunning sunsets, with the morning dew on the vibrant green grass, with the warmth of lazy days.
And I also love spring with its all new energy... and autumn with the brilliant colours. In fact, I love nature, with everything in it, every beat of its heart, every moment of joy and silence. Once upon a time...there was nature...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grădina Zmeilor (Sălaj)

O zi cu ceață... se-nserează și rămân singură cu coloșii în Grădina Zmeilor. Mă încântă și mă-nfioară în același timp acest peisaj cu stânci ridicându-se din neant.
Putere și fermitate, mândrie, stratornicie, respect, liniște și calm. Un amalgam de sentimente și emoții mi se joacă pe corzile sufletului.

Dance with light and reflection - at Someș
