What's up at home today...?

Good job, Sergeant Major!

Btw, the apple try I mentioned about after that storm... it didn't completely fall down. We managed to almost straighten it up by tying it with a chain to the cherry tree

Damni asked about Poiana Rachitelii village and the festival there. It's a village not far from Hunedoara, posting a distance map here.
Between Poiana Rachitelii and Vadu Dobrii we got stuck with the jeeps twice during winters. We had to call for help. Once, only my old phone had signal

 

In these small villages people still keep old traditions of getting together with the folks from other villages and sort of having a party if the bears and wolves won't get to you first The hills west of Hunedoara city are called Tinutul Padurenilor that translates as The Land of the Forest People. Very small villages, very nice traditions, very simple lifestyle and a great place where to live...

Posting two videos... one aerial of Poiana Rachitelii and one of the parties from a few years ago. The parties last the whole weekend here



They eat local pies and huntsman dishes, drink too much and dance a lot No garbage clubbing parties

That hat at 20:45 is very similar to our Alpini (mountain troops) hat.

I posted a nice song for you

Btw, if anyone wants to visit Hunedoara, you better sync with some of these events... I won't even come to greet you if you're here just for the castle

Faffing about with macro photography using some cheap extension tubes I got from Amazon.
 

I also tried macro photography, but I had to give up because he looked at me with a weird eye
