Cruise ship at Dubrovnik in Croatia.

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.
