I promised to show you Transylvania - and now I finally do it:)

in photography •  7 years ago 

Hi, guys!
I promised that I will share with you photos from Dracula's castle, and now it's time to do it. Actually the first thing I must say here is that Vlad Dracula didn't live in Bran castle, aka Dracula's castle. He was imprisoned there for 9 days with no food and water by Hungarian king. The reason was - his brother (Vlad's), captured bu Turkish sultan was released only with condition that he will bring a letter to Hungarian king that said that Vlad has sidetracked Turkish empire. Of course it wasn't true, but Turkish sultan captured Dracula's personal clerk, and made him write it.
When Vlad was brought to Hungary the Hungarian king begged for excuse on his knees. He understood that he really did wrong.
But nevertheless exactly this event made the Bran castle connected with name of Vlad Dracula.
By the way, do you know where does the name Transylvania come from? It means "trans sylva" (I'm sorry if I spelled it wrong), and it translated like "behind the forests". And now on the pictures you will see that it really is true. Landscapes are unbelievable!
In this post I tried to collect most vampirish photos. Hope you'll enjoy them:

Gorgeous photos!

And what a story about the origins of Dracula and all that Hungarian history! Eastern Europe has got to be added to out travel to-do list.

On a side note, have you got any upcoming comic reviews in the works? I've been searching for new reviewers and steemians also interested in comics.

I've got a few of my own articles I'd be keen to share with you. I'm actually really loving Daredevil right now. Not necessarily because of DD himself, but because of a psycho bad guy I read about recently. Very cool title right now.

Anyway.. here are a few links to my reviews.

Old Man Logan
Daredevil
Silver Surfer.

About comics- yes, but I'm not sure when I'll have time to do it. I just returned home, and have a lot to do here. Plus I love independent comics more, so....:)

I forgot to mention.. you won't be disappointed with my reviews :)

I like indy work, too. The same standards apply to all creators, though. Solid story. Great art.

The other creator I'm a massive fan of is Rich Tommaso. He has done wonderful work wirh Dry County. I'm in love with every panel from that guy.

Magnificent! Thank yoo so much for sharing that fantastic photos you captured. 😊

Wow it's a great privilege to view all of this... Nice exploitation. More of this from you

Damn! Nice, and did it feel as if it was haunted? :D

Actually... Not until you're alone in the room;)

Haha, spooky! The place must have been rich in history and cool tales as well! I guess you have had a very nice time visiting this place.
Cheers!

Well, that place definitely lives up to it's reputation of being gorgeous and spooky! I'd happily spend a lot more than nine days there, but preferably with food and water.

The question on everyone's mind today, though - how is the WiFi?

No food, no water, getting mugged for nine days. Not a pleaset weekend

I love all the pictures. They look wonderful. It must be incredibly exciting at the Castle of one of the most famous characters in the world. Besides that it has a magnificent structure. That tells fantastic stories, and all those stories catch my attention. Because they really cause a lot of curiosity. I hope you have really enjoyed your trip.

Выглядит здорово:) мне особенно нравится вид снаружи:))

Great photo's definitely caught the vampire themes in these ones 💯🐒
