The water stretches in every direction, flat and silver under a wide sky. Reed beds taller than a person sway in the breeze, and the calls of pelicans and cormorants echo across the channels. In the Danube Delta, the second largest delta in Europe, the boundary between land and water dissolves entirely. Your boat glides […]
