Southern Romania is paralysed by heavy snow leaving a lot of people stuck in their cars. The country has even drafted in the army to rescue hundreds of travellers stranded by blizzards that dumped up to a meter of snow in 24 hours.

These are photos of the US Air Force Thunderbirds in Romania at the 2011 Constanta Air Show. They are nothing short of majestic as they perform back to back mirror flights high overhead. They are truly amazing pilots and aircraft.

Romanian drivers have a special “transportation” culture. They like to park their cars in an exceptional way, add the most unusual inscriptions and drive the most creative transportation on the city streets. We thank Marlansky CEO for these great photos.

romania is very beautiful.this are just a few photos.i thought i should upload them, to show that it really is a wonderfull country.

Last Thursday was the most shocking day for the Parliament of Romania. The session was overshadowed by TV engineer, the father of two children Adrian Sobaru who decided to jump from 7-meters-high balcony in protest over government budget cuts that had affected his family. He was wearing “you-killed-our-children’s-future” t-shirt, but luckily his injures weren’t life–threatening. When he was taken out on a stretcher to the emergency, Adrian continued shouting the word “feedom”.

Seeing Adriana Iliescu and her 5-year-old daughter Eliza walking hand in hand, you are more likely to believe that they are a great grandparent and a granddaughter. Adriana, a writer from Romania, delivered Eliza at the age of 66, and she is 72 now. She became the oldest mother in the world in 2005 thanks to IVF.

People call Adriana granny for fun, but she got used to it. And what would you say if a 72-year-old woman delivers another child?

An interesting experiment took place in a Romanian prison for women. The inmates received a total of 6 Canon PowerShot cameras and were taught how to use them. During the first two months, 14.000 photos were taken!

This unique experiment led to the superb photos you can enjoy through this post.

Edit: These are supposedly poor neighborhoods of Slovakia. Thanks a lot to our visitors who helped us to get the facts straight :)
