Description
I saw this imposing mountain top that seems to dominate the whole scene that presented itself before my eyes and that cloud that looks like a hat, that clings to the top of the mountain and I knew I wanted to photograph this special moment. The scene is simple, it consists of several layers that lead the eye to the top of the mountain, however your eye is instantly attracted by this dominant peak and the clouds at its top, but the layers below with the forest bring that extra element to the image and so you can see better the greatness of the mountain. The image was made in Retezat National Park from Romania.
The virgin forests, national parks, natural monuments and scientific and natural reserves are the most valuable of all to ensure the continuity of life and biological diversity. These forests have formed since the last ice age and have preserved their naturalness until today. It is the link between the past and the future.
At this moment, national parks in Romania do not correspond to international scientific advice on non-intervention (IUCN). The Government of Romania always finds grounds to legalize forestry (accidental, hygienic or conservation) in protected areas.
The virgin forests are destroyed faster than they can be legally protected by being included in the Official National Catalog. Something that happens in Romania.
