Transfăgăraşan pass, a paved mountain road crossing the southern Carpathians of Romania. It was build in the 1970s by the communist regime and still connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia.

Something I just learned from Wikipedia:

The Transfăgărășan was constructed between 1970 and 1974 during the rule of Nicolae Ceaușescu as a response to the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union. Ceaușescu wanted to ensure quick military access across the mountains in case of a Soviet invasion.

A Northern Harrier cruising across the grasslands with a look of determination on her face. This is another image taken on a recent outing for Northern Harriers in Central, NJ. I have yet to capture a good image of a grey ghost, and I hope to achieve that goal this winter season. View large for best details.

The weekend is here! Thanks for stopping by~!

All perfectly characterizing my dear loons who remain still, providing the ideal canoe companions and the perfect example of how to best utilize the lake. Here, the male shown in the morning fogs which now characterize the lake, they will stay until the first signs of ice arrive.
