Mountain Lake is a lake wide Bolboci created by artificially blocking Ialomita River in 1988 by a dam. Has a volume of water like Lake Mill in Bucharest, but it's very large, hiding among the slopes of the shore, so that it's almost impossible to catch him in a single image, even on the increase. Most pleasant quality of this man-made lake is that it does not seem artificial at all. Sometimes its waters take clear shades of green and surrounding mountains are covered with shady pine forests.
