Subway tango

It happened yesterday at the Unirii 1 subway station and it was kind of like a flash mob: they plugged the sound system, danced for about 10-15 minutes and then went away. Passengers admired them, took photos and a few of them even joined the dance.

Night over Piata Universitatii

From the height of the International Hotel at a fashion show I discovered a beautiful view of the night over the Bucharest city center:

I like colors, like them a lot, rarely do black and white photos (at least when I am not required by an exibition), so enjoy this exception:

Freedom?

So how do you see this barbed wire, as a representation of freedom or of the lack of it?

The old theatre

In Bazilescu park of Bucharest there are the ruins of a former summer theatre, unfortunately the area is close and guarded by hungry dogs, you cannot take pictures as you wish. Too bad, since is a wonderful location.

Brown and yellow and red and a little green

I know is cliché, but I like the autumn colors, with so many browns and yellows, with some reds from time to time and still some greens remaining, that I had to post them. Is full autumn, we moved to the winter time and is bad for photography, I don't know when I will get natural light during the week, so at least I can use those colors as consolation in the mean time.

WLMRO bragging time

The winners of the Wiki Loves Monuments photography contest are announced today, time for me to take a deep breath, rest and then brag a bit :D

From the almost 5800 submitted pictures, the jury made a short selection of 284 "finalists", pictures considered the best and worthy of a closer evaluation. Despite my notices and warnings, the other members of the jury selected a few of my own submissions among those finalists (as an organizer and jury member, I could not receive any prizes, but couldn't abstain from contributing). And again despite my notices and warnings, they noted my photos (I disqualified them to be fair, giving my notes as ZERO) and, even with one of the 3 jury members noting them "0", they are not the last in the list.

Bunt enough talk, here are the pics:
