If you have been following along on Instagram, you would have seen in my daily updates that I have made great progress so far and I am already in Europe (I am writing this on my last day in Romania). It has been a great route so far that has only intersected once with the route we drove from Dubai to Romania nine years ago.
I have had a few great camping nights so far, but the most unexpected one has been next to a place called Belograchik, in the North-West of Bulgaria. It took quite a drive to get to the camping spot as the road was way smaller than my car – I am pretty sure I have some new scratches on the car from all the branches brushing over the car. It was totally worth it though as I arrived in a beautiful forest clearing at the top of the mountain.
Everything turned even more magical at night, when the Milky Way was fully visible and the only sound you could hear were crickets. Definitely the kind of evening and night why I do these sort of trips.
One other thing to note about this photograph is that it is the first photography I publish made with the brand new Fujifilm GFX 100SII, an amazing machine that I am starting to fall in love with very quickly.
