Off To See The Peles

 Peles castle is in Sinaia, Romania.  We visited it as a day trip while we were in Brasov.  It was crowded and beautiful and had a pretty forest surrounding it on the side of a mountain.  These are some photos of the approaches.  There are actually two "castles" here.  One is more a manor house; it is more modern and was built around 1890 for the heir and his family.

Sunflowers In July

 While still in Moldova we found these beautiful sunflower fields near Leuseni.  They were so gorgeous in the midday light that we had to stop and take photos, even though we were already late on the way to Brasov.

Crossing In

I'm on the last of these few squares before getting on to the next step.  It's taking shape nicely.

On The Way Back

We took a different way back to Brasov from Rasnov.  It was past the ski slopes and had these beautiful vistas.  And a bicyclist showing off.

A Couple Of Grapes

I've got a couple of grapes done.  Working on the rest of the bunch.

Knight For A Day

You can become a knight for a day by renting a costume at Rasov.  They'll even take your photo.  The tractor at the bottom pulls wagons up and down the hill so you don't have quite so much to climb.

Orange And Gray

All I get to play with at the moment is orange and gray.  I used both this past turn, getting the foundation more solid and adding to the tower.
