Rosia Montana

Journal Entry: Tue Aug 28, 2007, 11:05 AM
Just came back from my third FanFest. Spent quite a bit of time talking to the locals of Rosia Montana this year. It`s really amazing to get to know these people - a healthy and necessary reminder that not everyone can be bought, that there are more valuable things than a bigger house and a nicer car, and that moving to a richer, larger city doesn`t bring happiness.

The way they talk of values long forgotten takes you back to the times when simple things really did matter.

And this handful of people who will never leave their birthplace is all that`s keeping 4 mountains from being blown up, along with a village, a handful of lakes, and the Roman mining galleries, unique in Europe.

If you have a few minutes please check out some of the photos I took during my stay there.

Do you like what you see?

In a few years` time photos of this place might be all we have left, as this mountain and 3 others could become giant mining craters.

What can you do?

:bulletred: Visit Rosia Montana!

:bulletred: Say YES to the law that forbids mining with cyanide in Romania!

:bulletred: .. or just tell a friend about Rosia Montana.


Don`t let this place die. People are more valuable than gold!
