Year: 2012

Ffffff…fireworks!

I like fireworks and it was a while (at least a couple of years) since I saw a good one (being busy whit other things when they happened), so when I learned there will be fireworks in the last night of B-FIT, I couldn’t miss the opportunity.

19 reasons

“19 Reasons” by Aromatic Company was one of the spectacles happening in the street at the Bucharest International Theatre Festival, B-FIT. I saw their show twice: one time in the Colțea Square and another time on the Lipscani Street, the pictures are from the second one, where my station point was better.

Framed cat

Sunday afternoon, the store is closed, nothing happens, even its trusted guardian is taking a nap (somehow, I suspect that’s all he is doing all day long).

By night

The Old City of Bucharest can be very animated by night, especially if is close to the week-end and more so if a festival takes place there (now it was the International Theatre Festival, B-FIT)

Hipstering around

There is a saying “you are not a photographer, you are just a kid with a Nikon” used to ridicule the people who use a camera but not using their brains or learning anything. For some, it can be enlarged with “you are not even a kid with a Nikon, you are just a hipster”.

Why Wiki Loves Monuments?

I take part, and I am also an organizer, in the Romanian Wiki Loves Monuments photography contest, where we try to get people contributing photos of historical monuments to Wikipedia. The things are not all roses, photos below, taken in the old city of Bucharest, the most important touristic area from our capital city, are a proof of why something like it is badly needed. Our history, our culture, our identity, they are going away due to carelessness and/or greed. We can at least preserve their image.

Bucharest like Rio

B.FIT, the Bucharest International Theatre Festival, closed with a big parade, part of it was the parade of Latin dance schools, with samba, salsa, capoeira, bachata and more. There were some costumes making you think of Rio de Janeiro.

The hard life

Life may be hard next to a pregnant woman: after a copious lunch a small desert may be craved, but as everything looks so good, you have to chance to end-up with double the quantity (here 4 cakes for 2 people). And since she can’t eat it all, you will have to be the hero and take care of more than half of it. Is more fun when you are an appreciator who can’t pass a good dessert.

Let’s get out in Bucharest, celebrate with WLM

Those days, 13-16 September 2012, is the celebration of Bucharest, called “Bucharest Days”, 553 years of known existence. Is a very good opportunity for us to get out in the street, take photos with some historical monuments and put them in the Wiki Loves Monuments photography contest.

Heart in the Sky

Sky, clouds, a hole in the clouds and a bit of imagination. You can see anything you want in the cloud shapes.

Pumpkin

I feel like playing on words today, so will continue on the same line, I guess that is not the pumpkin you are looking for.

Hotness

I am quite sure my readers had a different expectation seeing a title like “Hotness”, but surely they are hot and I like trolling sometime 😀
