Best way to travel from Brasov to Sinca Veche?

Hi,

I was wondering what the best way is to go from Brasov to Sinca Veche? I checked via Autogari but there were not prices written with Robus and Transfer Low Cost and it also had some bad reviews?

I was wondering what the best way is to travel from Brasov to Sinca Veche (we want to visit Mănăstirea Rupestră Șinca Veche)

Thank you! : )

Looking for a 2-day hike near Cluj with wild camping

Hi!

My girlfriend and I are arriving in Cluj on 25 August and we'd love to start our trip with a 2-day hike, ideally with (wild) camping somewhere along the route.

We're mainly looking for caves, forests, rocky landscapes, lakes, waterfalls, gorges, etc. We know we probably can't fit everything into one hike, but we'd love to get an idea of what's possible around Cluj.

We're happy with a challenging hike and don't mind going somewhere a bit more remote, as long as it's reasonably accessible by public transport.

We'd preferably avoid very touristy places if there are better, quieter alternatives. Any recommendations for a 2-day route within reasonable distance of Cluj?

Thank you! : )

lead ball, musket ball or..?

it’s clearly broken, there’s also a hole in it that doesn’t penetrate through the other side. Found in Belgium.

Inverted colour differences

Hello,

I'm researching early modern depictions of halo phenomena/parhelia (16th century manuscripts/prints) from a art historian perspective, and I noticed that several images show inconsistent or even reversed color orders in the halo arcs.

For example: some arcs show red on the inside and lighter/greenish tones outward, while others reverse this order entirely.

These images appear to be observational rather than purely symbolic, so I’m wondering: Could different halo phenomena (22° halo, tangent arcs, circumzenithal arcs, etc.) genuinely produce different perceived color orders?

My thought is that he was trying to capture the configuration throughout the time it was visible in the sky and combined all of this together into one composition, and that's why there can be color differences.

Hello,

for my thesis research around parhelia in early modern print, i'm trying to figure out the small handwritings between the arcs and down below.

Thank you very much!

Hi all,

I’m currently working on a thesis on the depiction of parhelia (sun dogs / “mock suns”) in early modern prints, especially cases where the phenomenon is visualised as three suns in the sky.

So far, I’ve been able to gather a small corpus including:

  • German broadsheets and Wunderzeichen pamphlets
  • Illustrations from Prodigiorum ac ostentorum chronicon, Die Wickiana and Wunderwerck Oder Gottes vnergründtliches Vorbildren
  • Several folios from the Augsburger Wunderzeichenbuch (1502–1549 range)
  • Early observational diagrams (e.g. Zürich 1528, Erfurt 1575)

I’m particularly interested in visual (not just textual) representations of three suns/parhelia in printed material between roughly 1500–1800.

If anyone has come across lesser-known broadsheets, regional prints, or archival material depicting this phenomenon, I’d really appreciate any pointers.Early modern prints depicting parhelia (sun dogs / “three suns”) — looking for additional examples (1500–1800)

Thanks in advance!
