Felt Extraterrestrial - Imprinted by LightCaptured
Good morning, friends!
Here is my humble contribution of making the day a bit more beautiful and interesting!
Let me share with you some of my travel photos from Salina Turda, yeah, it may feel extraterrestrial but is actually an underground salt mine in Romania.
It's definitely a photographical destination, tripods and pro cameras are allowed in there.
Now what do you think of it?

Really impressive! A real alien abode!
Hmm, we humans probably don't have a stronger and more successful word when we talk about something truly outstanding, unique - we (or I) always say that it somehow comes from outside this earth, as if it is not capable of providing us with such a thing. 😃 And the truth is that there are so many such places on earth, it's just that the same person can't visit them all, or even if he does, he'll still use the same word - extraterrestrial or alien. 🤭
Well, enough philosophizing! Wonderful pictures as always, from a truly unique place!
Thank you! It really felt this way and I am sure the other salt mines in Romania will present similar sci-fi "decors" :)
Thank you, friend!

Очень классное место.
Эти стены похожи на мрамор. Или это всё-таки соль?
It's a very cool place.
These walls look like marble. Or is that salt?
Да! :)
The wall are really impressive - it is layers of petrified salt.
The best part - tripods and pro cameras are allowed but only for personal usage :)))
Но ведь это не святой храм))
Хотя это круче любого храма.
Храм Матери-природы )
But it's not a holy temple, is it?))
It's cooler than any temple though.
A temple to Mother Nature.)
Hehehe, exactly :)
Speaking of taking photos in the churches here, it's not that they don't like it, it's just that you have to pay! :)
Probably the same situation in your country? ;) It seems Orthodox priest wouldn't do or allow anything for free :D
в некоторых церквях (например, Морской собор в Кронштадте) фотографировать разрешено официально и бесплатно. Но там особенный храм, в чём-то он морской музеё.
В обычных церквях я не фотографирую или делаю это вслепую с камерой на животе ))
in some churches (for example, the Sea Cathedral in Kronstadt) photography is allowed officially and free of charge. But it's a special church there, in some ways it's a maritime museum.
In ordinary churches I don't take photos or I do it blindly with a camera on my stomach ))
Now that you say it, I recall a visit to a similar church in Bulgaria that actually liked our cameras and motivated us to take photos but it was a museum with rare religious services.
By the way, you don't need to write in English, I understand Russian it's just that I can't write well :) Save your time, please :)
Классно) Буду писать на русском, так мне действительно проще)
Морской собор в Кронштадте некоторое время был музеем флота. Потом его реставрировали и отдали церкви. Не то, чтобы насовсем (я не знаю настоящего статуса), но там проводят службы и есть "туристическая" составляющая.
Но фотографировать там можно свободно.
;)
It's really awesome to have such places, that are "exceptions" from the common no-photo church rule, hehe.
Here is the church I was talking about:
It was built by the Ottoman invaders a few centuries ago as a mosque and later after the liberation it was converted to a church. The old Arabic letters inscriptions still remain on the walls and that is quite interesting to see.
Now-a-days it is a museum. So there is no priest all the time but during the major Christian holidays they place masses there.
Mosques do not have bell towers, so a separate tower had been build to handle the bells 20 meters away from the church ;)

These are amazing photographs… wow!
Thanks so much! :)
