Viseu Village Street Scene

In the north east suburbs of Viseu de Sus in Romania at Fabrica Trei on 18 March 2015, two forms of transport meet; one of the numerous rail taxis that operate on the 760mm gauge forestry railway, a Ford Transit 'Auto Drezina 04' trundles up the Vaza Valley to collect passengers heading to town as a horse-drawn cart heads towards the saw mills. The Vaser Valley is an enclave of the German-speaking 'Zipfers' who settled here in the 1700-1800s and originated from a region of Slovakia and Upper Austria.
