Rasnov Fortress (I) - Castle and Fortress in Romania


















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.

Eyes - Macro / Close up Series












Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside me today
Around broken in two
Til your eyes share into dust
Like two strangers turning into dust
Till my hand shook with the weight of fear
I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
It was you, breathless and torn
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
Into strangers, turning into dust
