The Mountain from “Game of Thrones” is a massive man and most people would expect him to have a gigantic dog. But that’s not the case at all because The Mountain shares a beautiful friendship with a tiny little Pomeranian dog named Asterix.

The Story Of Dashrath Manjhi

Megi7 — Wed, 09 Sep 2015 22:46:39 +0000

Dashrath Manjhi, also known as “Mountain Man”, was a poor labourer in Gehlaur village, near Gaya in Bihar, India, who carved a path through a 360 ft long, 30 ft wide and 25 ft high hillock using only a hammer and chisel. After 22 years of work, Dashrath shortened travel between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya town from 55km (34mi) to 15km (9mi).

Dashrath Manjhi ran away from his home at a young age and worked at Dhanbad’s coal mines. He returned to his village and married Phalguni Devi. While crossing Gehlour hills to bring him lunch, she slipped and seriously injured herself that eventually led to her death. Manjhi was deeply disturbed and that very night decided to carve a path through the Gehlour hills so that his village could have easier access to medical attention.

I Wake Up At 5am To Hike In Transylvanian Mountains

Megi7 — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 22:57:17 +0000

Hiking and being in nature inspire me a great deal, and so capturing these experiences is one of my passions. During my journeys through Maramures (a small county from Transylvania, Romania) I captured these photos. Landscapes which I photographed in this region are serene and tranquil. Currently, I see my photographic style as a traditional landscape photography.

I like to use the rich morning and evening light for the dramatic effect. Waking up at 5 AM, searching for a view-point, waiting for the perfect light and finding an outstanding element in the landscape which surrounds me – that’s my perfect recipe to transpose my feelings and my mood into a simple photo.
