Gypsies

Gypsies by mieszko.stanislawski.
The second biggest minority in Romania are Gypsies. There is a lot of legends and superstitions about them. These people stayed for a while in a little village - Viseu de Sus - in Maramures mountains, in northern part of Romania, to catch a steam train to the valley of Vaser. Noone knows who the people are, where they come from and why they go to the mountains.

Excellent portrait, a wonderful subject to photograph. The story you added always makes the photograph more interesting.

Really nice photo. Though I think the largest minority in Romania are the Hungarians.

In this age of information overload, media coverage of the smallest and unimportant details, satellite maps of every corner of the earth and so on, there are still people living out their lives in the middle of Europe, almost unknown to the rest of us - nomads in their own world.

That's what I find spooky.

Real strangers. So fascinating. And mysterious. So close and in the same time so far from us.
