Just a glimpse of the ceremony from Bacau, last Saturday night. Didn't stay out too long, it was shivering cold. I did managed to bring the burning candle back home, though :)

    Some pictures shot recently on a waste management campaign put together by CRE Bacau in collaboration with local high-school volunteers. Approximately 200 young ecologists managed to gather hundreds of kilos of waste, finishing in the end with the planting of wicker in an area that was previously affected by fire. More about it here (only Romanian).
