Fundătura Ponorului: Transylvanian photographers' heaven

by Sebastian Vasiu 



“Lunca Ponorului” by Cristian Lee


Once you discovered Fundătura Ponorului you will know how paradise look like.
Some call it “The Hand of God”, others “The Photographers’ Heaven”.

Either way, it is not too exaggerated to talk about Fundătura Ponorului as one of the most beautiful place on Earth, one of the most picturesque places where the Light is magical.
The real meaning of its name is far from being appropriated when talking about this wonder.
In English Fundătura Ponorului means “dead end of the river stream”. But somehow this describes the configuration of the valley which ends directly with a vertical rock underneath the river flow.

The snake form of the river and the multiple rocky peaks surrounding the valley make Fundătura Ponorului a unique location.  On top of that all, homesteads and households with their fences look like a theatre stage scene having all elements to create one of the best photography spots in Romania and maybe world wide?

If you have the opportunity, come over and discover Fundătura with its wonderful landscapes and beautiful authentic people.  You will remember it forever.”

For now, enjoy this gallery of images all taken in Fundătura Ponorului by talented 1x photographers.
