Transylvanian Saxon Fortress

There was a lot of fog in the morning but it cleared later, enough so I could take this shot.
Okay I had to post process it a little.
Unfortunately many Saxon villages and towns are falling apart. The German inhabitants gradually began to leave after the Communists came, the remaining population of 200,000 or so of the region left in the 90's after Communism fell.

At least there are attempts to restore and protect this endangered heritage. This is the first in a couple of photos from the Transylvanian countryside.
