Description
The image was made in a cold morning spring in Padis, Apuseni Natural Park - Romania. Padis is a tourist area in the southeast of Bihor county, located at an average altitude of 1,200 m, which presents a plateau crossed by a wide hydrographic network (consisting of Ponor streams, Izvorul Ursului valley, Paraul Sec, Garjoaba, Valea Boghii, Valea Arsurii, Valea Renghii, Valea Tranghiesti, Radeasa, Valea Galbenei, Valea Bulzului) and a relief with ponoare (sinkholes), rocky cliffs, caves, oats, maggots, gorges and meadows.
The Padis tourist area is located in the northern branch of the Bihor Mountains, a chain in the Apuseni Mountains or the Western Carpathians. From an administrative point of view, the Padis area is located in the southeast of Bihor county, within the commune of Pietroasa, up to the border with Cluj and Alba counties.
It was the beginning of spring, and in the mountains in some areas there was still snow. In the last two years, every spring I and another photographer friend visited this special area. In spring all the plateaus in the area were full of crocuses, it was a real feast for the eyes. One early morning we hiked on a nearby peak to catch the sunrise, but the sky was very clear, with no clouds and it was all a bit dull, I took some pictures, and then I went down on a plateau, and on the road on the plateau there were some frozen puddles and they had all kinds of interesting shapes, very photogenic, so they attracted my attention and I started to photograph them, to capture some more interesting details and areas. This image is one of those images taken on that cold spring morning. I preferred to convert it to black and white, due to the fact that it had no colors, and the details stood out better in black and white.
