This is the documentary made by Travel Channel about the nature and traditions of Transylvania, called Wild Carpathia. It aired on 30 October and this is the full HD movie:
These are two short tv ads to promote Danube Delta, "Europe's Amazon"".
The Danube Delta is the second largest river delta in Europe, after the Volga Delta, and is the best preserved on the continent. The approximate surface is 4152 km², of which 3446 km² are in Romania. If one includes the lagoons of Razim-Sinoe (1015 km² of which 865 km² water surface), which are located south of the delta proper, but are related to it geologically and ecologically (their combined territory is part of the World Heritage Site), the total area of the Danube Delta reaches 5165 km².
In 1991, the Romanian part of the Danube Delta became part of the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Around 2,733 km² of the delta are strictly protected areas. In 1998, under UNESCO Programme on Man and the Biosphere, the 6264.03 km² of Danube Delta were established as Biosphere Reserve shared by Romania and Ukraine.
The Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, shared with Romania and Ukraine, is a labyrinth of water and land, made up of countless lakes, channels, islands at the end of a 2,860 km long river. The Danube Delta is the largest European wetland and world's largest reed bed, forming also Europe’s largest water purification system. The area is particularly well known for the abundance of birdlife: 312 important bird species are present in the Delta, which is an important stopover and breeding area for many bird species.
Thanks mate. You really named yourself after Menmarot the voivod of Bihar at the 9th century ?
I thought he was bulgarian of origin.
Nobody know what he was or if he even existed, as Gesta Hungarorum is rather a collection of tales. But if Gesta is true, he may have been a Romanian, because he considered himself the descendant of the local, indigenous people who fought against Atilla's Hunns:
Reply of Menumorut to Árpád
Ourself on the other hand, neither out of love nor out of fear, we will ever concede him land, not even if spanning only a finger, although he said he has a right on it. And his words do not trouble our heart that he stressed he descends from the strain of king Attila, which was called the scourge of God. And if that one raped this country from my ancestor, now thanks to my lord the emperor of Constantinople, nobody can snatch it from my hands
If he was Bulgar, he would have associated himself with the Hunns, not otherwise, as were doing the Bulgars.
Well the Gesta clearly describes he rules over bulgarians and slovenians, and his slovenian mercenaries traited him, and helped the forces of Árpád to invade his castle.
So I dont think that he could have been wallachian. Not like it would matter anything.

No, it say nothing about his ethnicity and people he ruled over were not Bulgars or Slovenians, but "khozars". When a ruler was Bulgar, Anonymus mentions that (like in the case of Salanus).
Now lets return to pictures:
