IMC 2011 trip

Photos by Casper ter Kuile
The conference excursion will be organized Saturday afternoon in the Făgăraș Mountains, on the famous Transfăgărășan Highway. No road in Romania climbs higher: up to 2042 meters, in the Glacial Hollow Bâlea. The lunch will be served in a restaurant at Lake Bâlea. The menu includes trout from the glacier lake!

A TWAN expedition in 2009 and the last two editions of Perseids Camp were organized by SARM in this place. An astropoetry version of these events, including many spectacular images, can be found on cosmopoetry.ro SARM portal: TWAN 2009 expedition (the first part of the page) and PERSEIDE 2010 (in the last part of the page).

A photo gallery of Casper ter Kuile who attended PERSEIDE 2010 Camp can be seen here.
