After heavy deliberations, we managed to move our arses from the couch and try a little hike near the artificial lake at Maneciu Dam. The unusual heat these days, taking into account that is early May, made a lot of house cockroaches like us to get some cool air. As we live in a sub-Carpathians area, getting to fresh, cool, air is easy to achieve. So we packed some light snacks, a blanket and a ridiculous amount of non-enthusiasm and off we went.
The scenery at the lake is quite serene, the shores are rocky, the water was beyond cold, though that didn't stop Vlad to try his fisherman skills. Found a little boat, worn out, old, but still managed to keep its reckless abandon, the dolce far niente mood that all the small boats have, inviting you to just hop in it and sail away.
Photography wise, I tried to emulate some Astia and Provia mood in some of the photos. Used the usual gear. The light was quite good, the sun was preparing to enter its sunset slumber. Except for the scenery, I managed to snap some shots of my wife, who is notoriously hard to catch in pictures, like my son. It is like chasing ghosts.
All in one it was quite a beautiful day but came with the hard realization of the fact that I get easily fatigued. :( Damn cigarettes, I wish I knew how to get rid of them, except the power of will, of course. :)
