Vatra Dornei and Surroundings - 2012



Squirrel from Vatra Dornei Park


Being here for the second time in three years, my point of focus changed from Vatra Donei's main touristic attractions to its surrounding villages and landscapes. Either way, you cannot be disappointed when you encounter such beauty, where you can actually see that man's impact over the environment is just superfluous and you can feel the dominant, yet gentile force of nature in relation to the humans inhabiting these places.
