Romania, 2013-2014

Here I have few pictures from Romania. First are some pictures from my hometown: Targu Jiu, then some pictures from the village of my grandparents: Calnic winter. There is a river in my town called Jiu, which give the town his name of Targu Jiu (rough translation The market of Jiu). It used to be black because of the coal of the mines but after the revolution the coal washing was stopped.  Eventually the water of the river cleared up, and the town has a quite nice artificial lake on the river. The water from the dam was released and we can see now years of coal deposits at the bottom of the lake and the river is still black even 25 years after: The empty dam of Jiu river.
