Photographer's Note
The legendary Sphinx of the Bucegi Mountains (2200 m altitude) is a rock shaped by wind and other natural phenomenon as man's head. It is considered to represent a spiritually powerful place and a symbol of the spirit of the Dacians, ancestors of the Romanian people.
The Bucegi Mountains (Romanian: Muntii Bucegi) are located in central Romania, south of the city Braşov. They are part of the Southern Carpathians group of the Carpathian Mountains. To the east, the Bucegi Mountains have a very steep slope towards the popular tourist destination Prahova Valley (Busteni and Sinaia). At a higher elevation is the Bucegi Plateau, where wind and rain have turned the rocks into spectacular figures such as the Sphinx and Babele.

Hello Monika,
Very nice picture, even if it would have been better without the guys standing on the rocks, but the light and the colros are beautiful, especially in the sky.

Howdy Monika,
Your view of Nature's Sphinx is captivating for the saturated colors and fine resolution. Time and erosion have created a masterpiece.
Geology is always intriguing to me, especially how similar our Earth is.
Good job,
Cheers,
Ray
