Around the Bucegi Plateau

[Corwyn]

My girlfriend (mountain goat that she is) convinced me to leave the cosyness of my office and go to the Bucegi plateau last weekend. I took some photos of my sak and I saw that you guys liked it, so I figured I'd post a few more photos from my day up high:

At the bottom of the cable-car: You didn't think I'd climb for 6 hours to get to the plateau, right? 


Babele - The crones: A rather popular rock formation:


The Carpathian Sphinx - same (yeah, the little one is me):


Looking back on where I walked from:


Weather station gizmo:


Looking down:


My girlfriend went ahead to scout the way (she's the little dot on the ridge):


Me following the track through the clouds:


Whirly plant-thingy:


The TV transmitter (we were in the antenna tower) reflected onto the clouds:


And a few photos from my girlfriend's older hiking trips:

Interesting, first time I've seen an up close photo of edelweiss, they don't look like the printed version on Victorinox knives.

Ocasionally. She is pretty much up in the mountains every weekend. I have neither the time, skills or endurance to do the really tricky paths. I go with her about once or twice per month.

True. The current one is very stylized.


The older ones look more like the real thing, though

Wouldn't get me up there. 

Nice photos. Thanks for sharing them.
