On the mountains(II). Πάνω στα βουνά(II).

Every time I am in the area, I like to visit the "Warm Valley" (Valea Calda). I had not been there since my previous visit last July and wanted to see it again. This time it was impossible. I tried to enter the valley from the eastern and the western entrances, but it was impossible. The recent heavy rains had washed out entirely the road or what it was remaining of it at some points and it made it impossible even for a 4X4 to pass. But again I had some great time trekking and admiring the beautiful nature.
 Κάθε φορά που βρίσκομαι στην περιοχή, μ' αρέσει να κάνω μια επίσκεψη στην Βάλια Κάλντα. Είχα να πάω από τον περασμένο Ιούλιο. Προσπάθησα να μπώ και από τις δυό εισόδους. Και από την μεριά των Γρεβενών και από την μεριά του Μετσόβου. Αλλά στάθηκε αδύνατο. Οι δυνατές βροχές που είχαν προηγηθεί, είχαν εξαφανίσει κάθε ίχνος δρόμου σε ορισμένα σημεία ώστε να μην περνά το 4Χ4 και έτσι αρκέστηκα στην βόλτα περιμετρικά.
It looks like some of the conifers have been decorated by nature for Christmas.
Μερικά από τα έλατα μοιάζουνε σαν νάχουνε στολιστεί για τα Χριστούγεννα από την φύση.
Sometimes you see a beautiful rock formation and when you go to have a closer look, there is a surprise for you.
Πολλές φορές βλέπεις ένα όμορφο σχηματισμό βράχων. Όταν όμως θελήσεις να ρίξεις μια πιο κοντιμή ματιά, σε περιμένει μια έκπληξη.
