Japanese culture days

This week the Odeon theatre in Bucharest hosts the Japanese culture days, with all kind of activities. I went there for the Fotohaiku photo exhibition, where a few friends have pictures exposed (is a combination of photography and haiku, which I found myself too boring to participate)

Being there, I also attended an Ikebana demonstration held by a Japanese hipster by the name of sensei Nomura who said he do freestyle Ikebana and was not able to tell the audience much about what and why he's doing there:

A trip to fortified churches in Transylvania

I had the opportunity for a trip to medieval fortified churches in the county of Sibiu in Transilvania, those are built by Germans around the XIII century and preserved in various states, from ruins to fully functional. The first to visit was Cisnădie, which is well preserved and functional, being located in the middle of the city with the same name:

Then Cârța, a spectacular ruin in a small village, probably the first Gothic building from this region:

Dealu Frumos was hard to photograph being under restoration works and covered with scaffolds:

Hosman is a larger complex and next to it has a large cemetery:

Slimnic is very large and also very damaged by time and hostile forces:

Apparently small on the outside, Valea Viilor has plenty of things inside waiting to be discovered:

The last visited, and probably the most complex, was Biertan:

The hard work of taking photos

They may say photography is easy, all fancy and glamour, but taking pictures is art and also hard work: you have to keep your both hands on the camera, eyes sharp, focus correctly, frame right, take care of the light, click the buttons and so on. Not easy, trust me, I am a photographer.

Look back

Do not look back they say. I don't know why, sometime looking back may be useful.

Bunny

If you are still under the dark impression from the mistress and gimp before, is probably the time to lighten with a sweet cute bunny. And a sexy bunny too.

Mistress and gimp

No, is not about that GIMP I use all the time to edit my photos, is about the tipe of gimp that will obey his mistress and get dominated in the process.

House cleaning

Is a duty of the maids to clean the house and once they clean it up, then may relax a bit and have some naughty time. How naughty? To the fullest :D

Goodbye Vienna

Since I am sure at this point I already bored all my readers with the photos from Vienna, I think is the time to put an end of the series with an one last pic. Have fun!

Vienna: beer festival

Another totally random encounter in Vienna was a beer festival taking place near the city center, a few hundreds of meters away from the St. Stephan cathedral. The setting was not very different from the festivals at home, the same tables and chairs, some different brands of beer and food, a much larger orchestra playing.
