Rasnov Fortress
Location: Transylvania – Central Romania
Nearby large towns: Brasov (9 miles northeast)
Rasnov Fortress, is located in the Carpathian Mountains, 650 ft. above the town of Rasnov. First mentioned in an official document in 1331, the fortress was built by Teutonic Knights as protection against invading Tartars. Strategically located on the commercial route linking the provinces of Transylvania and Walachia, Rasnov differs from other Saxon fortresses in that it was designed as a place of refuge over extended periods of time. As such, it had at least 30 houses, a school, a chapel and other buildings more commonly associated with a village.
The fortress was last used as a place of refuge during the revolution of 1848 and was abandoned after that.

Amazing skies, architecture, trees, doorway, composition, lamp shot and text .... did I leave anything out ?!

Excelente fotografiile!
Cetatea Râşnov cu toată istoria fabuloasă, se pare că este o mică parte dintr-o uriaşă cetate dacică... păcat că nu se vrea să se cerceteze mai mult vestigiile...
Felicitări pentru abordarea în sepia a fotografiilor!
Bravo

Inca odata m-ai surprins.Credeam ca la Cetatea Rasnov am vazut cam toate unghiurile si culorile posibile in fotografii pe net. La tine alb negru i-a redat maretia si aerul stravechi.Frumos lucrat.

Am fost recent acolo, am ramas dezamagit fata de ceea ce vazusem cu doi ani inainte parea o amintire. Era mai frumos amenajat , acum sunt doar ruinele si mai nimic amenajat, ar trebuie facute si niste lucrari de intarire a zidurilor...
Week end placut si te asteptam inapoi, oricum iti doresc numai bine oriunde ai fii !!!
So dramatic, I love the tones, and thanks for the background info.
