Korean princess

For the Republic of Korea a somewhat unexpected show happened yesterday at the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest: Korean artists singing opera. Voices aside (they were great), from a visual point of view the soprano Kim Hanna was a highlight, she looked and acted like an (European) princess.

The show was completed with another soprano, a baritone, two tenors and a piano player, all singing Italian and French opera and a few Korean songs.

Superman and his dog

If Superman had a side-kick, who would that be? Lois Lane? Jimmy Olsen? Wonder Woman? (the long list can continue). Or it would be a little beast some may call “a dog”?

Shoot me

Seeing the camera pointed at her, the old lady said “take the picture, nobody know how long I will still be around, so take it as long as you can.” I took the picture and I’m making it eternal.

Smell the sunflowers

This year the heat is strong and long lasting, all the vegetation has a heavy fight for survival, so it probably was the last opportunity of the year to capture some sunflower pictures.

Druganescu, making of

In the abandoned mansion the rooms were empty still, we found somewhere a mirror. Just what we needed before taking pictures.

Incursion at the Druganescu mansion

The Drugănescu mansion is a monument emblematic for the Brâncovenesc style, but now is empty and abandoned. So an incursion there was not very easy (but not very difficult either).

druganescu

The building reminded me by a haunted house from classic horror movies and the inscription on some inside door “section chef” made my imagination jump to abandoned psychiatric facilities (I have no idea what it was used for under the communist regime).
But beside the spectacular columns in the cellar, it had an even more spectacular loft, just good for a mini photo-session.

Football

I avoided as much as possible watching the UEFA 2012 tournament, but pretty much against my will I was stuck in front of a TV set for the most part of the final (from the rest, I didn’t see even a total of five minutes). I saw all the goals and the final score, and what can I say, remembering the times when I used to be into football, a 4-0 is humiliating for the Italian team, Spain made them look like little girls… like the girl below would have been a valuable addition of their team.

I know this is more of a donkey, but simply couldn’t resist the silly title. Hello!

Offender

Some say the best defense is a good offense. So probably is a good idea to grip your sword tightly and press forward.
