The scenic Romanian countryside

The storks are back. On our way to Durau we stopped and saw a stork nest. The villages build platforms on the top of their power poles for the storks to use. In this picture you can see one of the parent storks standing on the side of the nest and you can see two baby storks in the nest. As I watched for a few minutes there were actually three babies in the nest. The stork returning to Romania each spring is a sign of good luck, so this village must be very lucky.
This was the view from my hotel in Durau. The mountains in the background are very beautiful. It was a very nice day in the mountains it only rained for a little while and did not disturb our bar-b-que. There were about 30 parents there from Roman to pick up their children from a summer camp.

Have a good day.
Mark

  1. Hi Mark. I remember the stork pictures from one of your other trips. Melissa's "stork" pics are on facebook. Today is my last day at Portola. Melanie
