Having an efficient transportation, in the area started to develop a lot of different industrial activities and worker's neighborhood as well.

Photo hunting in Bucharest's gardens

The Great Tit is a distinctive bird, with a black head and neck, prominent white cheeks, olive upper parts and yellow underparts, with some variation amongst the numerous subspecies.
It is predominantly insectivorous in the summer, but will consume a wider range of food items in the winter months, as Wikipedia says.

I've tried that and got some nice results. The birds became very friendly if you have some food for them during the winter.

Landscape views from Macin

The Măcin Mountains are one of the oldest in Romania, being formed in the second part of the Paleozoic. They are located in Romanian region called Dobrogea. Being so old, the erosion has created steep slopes, with the aspect of ruins and seen from Danube river they seem only low hills. However the predominant rock is granite.
The highest peak is Ţuţuiatu (also called Greci) which has a height of 467 meters.

Enjoy the power of erosion over time!
