Romania’s Post

What lingers in the quiet of a storm? On the endless white of a Carpathian hillside, sheep move like shadows, their forms a muted contrast against the blinding purity of snow. Each step sinks into the drift, and their wool—thick, matted, an ashen gray—feels more earth than sky, more stone than cloud. Above them, the heavens churn, a cascade of thick snowflakes tumbling down, each one a fleeting whisper in the deep hush of winter. This is not a landscape to be tamed; it is a canvas of wildness, painted in shades of stark simplicity. The flock presses on, their darkened forms etched against a world devoid of edges. The snow is relentless, falling in great silken waves, swallowing horizon and sky alike. The land itself feels as though it breathes beneath this shroud, exhaling faint trails of mist from the mouths of sheep and shepherd alike. Silence reigns, broken only by the muffled crunch of hooves and the occasional, plaintive bleat that hangs in the air before being devoured by the storm. Everything feels suspended, held in the soft, omnipresent grip of winter. In this infinite whiteness, the sheep seem almost elemental, their darker shapes a reminder of the land’s resilience against erasure. They walk as though through time itself, unhurried, steady, eternal. Does the shepherd marvel at this same scene? Or does he know its every rhythm, its every note? There is no other world here, no other moment—just this procession of shadows moving through the heart of winter’s fury. What do you see when you look at such a world?
