Odesa by mid day

The Potemkin stairs in Odesa, entrance to the city

Featured in the 1925 movie Battleship Potemkin

I also found this cool statue in the harbor, the sailor’s wife

Zakota along a long land bridge.

Colorful fields at the Tuzlovski Lagoons.

Entering Romania, the landscape changes

Starting to see some hills and mountains in the distance

Arrival in Bucharest, big and beautiful

Palace of the parliament of Romania

With photogrammetry and lovely detailed fountains

Dark clouds over the mountains on the way to Dracula castle

Bran

Close up of the castle, the general shape is there

Inside

Brosteni

It looks like I found a forest fire

Exploatarea de Sulf Gura Haitii

Kosice, Slovakia

Home of the amazing St Elisabeth’s cathedral

It’s situated in that thin green slice in the picture above, to the left of the old tower

And finally arriving in Tatry, Poprad at sunset.

If you look closely you can spot the last sliver of sun peeking out over the mountains.
