Night veil
Bride's veil waterfall on a cold october night. I can still hear the thundering roar of the water whipping the stone, feel the wet and frozen wind on my face, see the clear moonlit sky.
Limestone
The Limestones of Ampoita, three lonely rocks rising out of nowhere above a small transylvanian village. Many legends are bound to them; locals say that they are sea foam, the remains of a long lost ocean. The elder believe the stones are cursed, they say that when a calamity is about to happen water flows right out of the dry rock. Some even say that the devil is locked inside the stones, a gateway to the bowels of hell guarded by an ancient underground monastery.
The stones are a challenge for hikers. Unfortunately many of them fell off the cliff and died here, and some who survived said that they felt a mysterious force that pushed away their hands from the rock.
