Proud Romanians

One does not have to be a citizen or even speak the language to wave flags on the national day parade.

Patriotic horse

I pretty much doubt the horse cares about national pride and such things.

There be light

Our city started lighting its winter holidays decorations.

there be light

For the last few years, at this this time I debate with myself: is a subjective projections of my high expectations of getting used with impressive Xmas lights, or year after year they really are poorer and poorer? I can’t definitely tell, but I’m tempted to lean for the later.

Unlimited

It makes more sense in Romanian, with the background saying “unlimited” and “experience together”.

Happy birthday metro!

Piata Unirii is probably the biggest in the Bucharest metro and we are celebrating there with a photo exhibition 35 years since the subway system opened in our city.

Elections

Yesterday evening a number of Romanian cities witnessed demonstrations where the people requested to be allowed to vote, here are images from Bucharest. A week ago, in the first elections round, the current prime-minister and leader of the communist party, Victor Ponta, who is also a candidate in the presidential elections, just blocked the people from voting in the places where it was expected he won’t receive a good score, including university centers and outside of the country.

Election day

The two were sitting and counting the election stamps on the back of their ID cards. “Who did we vote for in May 25?” I heard.

Wiki exhibition

This is kind of an unusual post for my photography blog, since the spotlight is not on my photos: yesterday evening, a photo exhibition with top pictures from the Wiki Loves Monuments Romania photography contest opened (I was part of the organizing team). The exhibition will stay open at the National Library in Bucharest for about 3 weeks and then will move at the Universitatea de Vest in Timișoara for a couple more weeks. Come and see the top 10 images from this year and highlights from the previous editions.

From Vegas to Bucharest

Reporters from B365 received a tip the city authorities will test the lights for the re-opening of the big fountain in Piața Unirii of Bucharest, so somehow I ended last evening there taking a few pictures of the event. The expectancy for it is to be spectacular, and there is potential for that, but yesterday it looked more like Bucharest than Vegas, with only part of the lights on and no music. Wait and see the final opening.
Check the article for more of my pictures.
