The Green Tunnel


I took this shot in april while visiting Felix Baths (Baile Felix - in romanian language), an ancient thermal spa resort from Romania, developed during the Roman Empire occupancy (about 1900 yrs ago) for its rich resources of thermal water. The resorts host many mineral springs with thermal (20-48°C), sulphuric, calcic, sodic, rich in bicarbonate waters known since the beginning of the first millennium. The soothing effect of the waters on articular and muscular pain and on various rheumatic neuralgias accounts for the fame of cures in the resort for the treatment of inflammatory rheumatic diseases (rheumatic polyarthritis, rheumatoid spondylitis, conditions after acute articular rheumatism), degenerative and articular rheumatic diseases, central and peripheral neurological disorders, gynecological diseases, post-traumatic conditions, endocrine disorders. The facilities offer treatment of rheumatism and neurological and gynecological diseases. The modern medical base has at its disposal various facilities for procedures involving electrotherapy, hydrotherapy, aerosols, massage, paraffin packing and other water treatments.

Oh yes, I got another joke:

From a guard tower of a fort in the wild west, the sentinel yells:
- Captain, some Indians are approaching!
- Friends or enemies? ask the captain.
- I think they're friends, 'cause they come together!

  2. Whether one should walk here or ride in a cart is a difficult decision. Renting chariots with spirited horses has possibilities. When one is in pain one wishes neither to lumber along nor to take too excess a speed.
