Here are a few pictures I took two weeks ago. This wonderful place, one hour away from where I live, is Fundata. It’s considered one of the highest (if not the highest) settlements in Romania. Altitude varies between 1300-1400 meters (4200 -4600 feet).

Ten days ago the temperature lowered until -28 degree Celsius( -18.4 degree Fahrenheit) in the night.
I took this picture in the middle of a sunny day and the temperature was only (-11 degree Celsius = 12.2 degree Fahrenheit). I hope this conversion is correct.
The place is practically surrounded by mountains ( Bucegi and Piatra Craiului ).
I think it is one of the most beautiful and quiet place in my country.
It is as beautiful in the winter as it is in the summer.
I hope I will go there this summer. It would be so nice to stay on grass and cut away batting for some quilts…
If someday I would have guests from abroad, we would definitely visit this place.
Enjoy the pictures !

Absolutely stunning! Are there ski resorts nearby?
Thank you for sharing some photos of Romania, usually all we ever see are pictures from the cities. It is absolutely gorgeous. Any way you convert the temps it was darn cold.
I can see why you love that place. I have never seen so many mountain views in one place. The snow covered trees are incredible. Thanks for sharing your part of the world!

Been there!!! Love it!
These photos are lovely. It rather reminds me some of Switzerland and since I'll probably never get to Romania, I'm glad to see pictures.
Ce priveleste! am fost in Romania de doua ori – Bucuresti si Iasi..
Visez sa am posibilitatea de a vedea muntii cu proprii ochii…
From someone in an Australian summer … those pictures are just magical, what a beautiful blue sky day.

I have a friend from Romania and she always tells me how beautiful the mountains are in her country. Now I understand why

When you see the beauty of the snow on the landscape, you tend to forgive the low temperatures.
it's just soo…….. blue!
pretty
Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures of your country! I live in California and don't ever see this kind of winter. BTW, found your blog via another blog that highlighted the carrying case you made for little girls. I'm going to try and make it. When I do – i'll link to your site. Thanks! – gigi
Geta, your country is beautiful! I would love to visit winter and summer.
Oh my Geta, what incredible photos!
Thank you for taking me to the mountains with you in your photos, we live in a flat desert in Australia, so vastly different to your mountains!!
E foarte frumos!
Da' e asa multa zapada zilele astea ca mi s-a facut asa un dor de varaaaaaa!!!!!

You are so lucky we live on a station in australia so it never snows and I haven't been to the snow but I might hopefully this year !!
I live in the Sub-tropics. I don't think I could stand -18 degrees but I wold do it to see this. Absolutely beautiful.
