Evening dance in a Moldovan village

Yay dancing! Was it for some kind of event, or just a bunch of people all getting together to dance?

No, it wasn't for an event. The villages just got together to dance in the evening. I think they do it a couple of times a week except in winter, and early spring and late autumn when there is a lot of work in the fields / orchards.

Your photo set from Moldova is very touching.

I am not taking very many pictures here, there is just too much to do. Also, most interesting things here in Moldova seem to be happening in the dark ). Like their Easter service and celebrations. And when I say dark I mean almost complete darkness. One would need a good DSLR and tripods, etc to shoot in those conditions and I will never take photography seriously enough for that. Also, my usual thing of shooting strangers doesn't work well here because there are almost no strangers around me, all villagers know each other and I do not want to get my hosts in trouble by upsetting their neighbours.

Well, then you have a really interesting experience: to see the life of these people as it is, far from touristic paths.



I hope you don't mean vampire things. Be careful. Who knows, maybe this old regional tradition is still alive.

That looks like a lot of fun! I would love to do something like that.
