Caragiale's plays electrify you

In 2012 we celebrated 100 years since the death of Ion Luca Caragiale, the most famous Romanian playwright. 
To mark this event, Enel (one of the electricity suppliers) painted a power transformer house in the town center, with characters of Caragiale's work.
What is the connection between an electricity supplier and Caragiale ?! They both had a premiere at the same time. In 1885, at the premiere of the play "Of the Carnival" by Caragiale, the National Theater in Bucharest was electric lighting for the first time, becoming the third theater in Europe with electric lighting.

African Violets

Botanical Garden hosted, last weekend, the exhibition of African Violets. The exhibition was organized by the Romanian Club of Gesneriaceae.

Community aims at popularization of the family Gesneriaceae plants across the country through its members and all those interested in making a complex set of information about the history, evolution, care and propagation of African violets and other Gesneriaceaee.I visited the exhibition and I really enjoyed what I saw. It is the first time I see such an exhibition. And because I liked it so much I will show you some violets.

Casa din Dimitrie Racovita

Bucurestiul este un oras plin de contradictii, din punct de vedere arhitectonic. Gasesti case vechi in stil art nouveau, in stil traditional romanesc, case neutre sau blocuri comuniste. Printre toate acestea, am gasit aceasta casa, care nu se incadreaza nici unui stil arhitectonic. Proprietarul a vrut o casa unica si a reusit. Casa se afla pe strada Dimitrie Racovita.

Slanic Moldova - health and relaxation

Slanic Moldova is situated on the eastern slope of the mountain Nemira (Eastern Carpathians) at a height of 530 m on the valley Slănic. The city is placed in a depression covered with deciduous and coniferous forests. 

Barber - La Mitica

This mural is on Sun Street in Old Town, on a narrow wall. This blind wall is only one meter wide. The painting is at the entrance of the bar, and the inscription "Barber - La Mitica" has no connection with reality, but remembers the old times. Two ladies walking on a street in an interwar decor.

The place is very narrow,  and it was difficult to fit the entire mural in one picture.

Fences with moss

I spent a weekend in a small village Draganesti Vlasca. We enjoyed nature and beautiful landscapes.

Prehistoric Animal

I found this mosaic at Selari street, in Bucharest's Old Town. Seeking information about this Prehistoric Animal, I found that was done in 2014 by artist Julian Emil Moldovan, the project Glappy. He is a young artist who was specialized in mosaics and has several outstanding works, spread all over the country.

A day of May

I spent a few days in a small village, Draganesti Vlasca.

You do not find too many things in Drăgănesti, only few houses, many meadows and a lake that stretches along the village. At any time you look at the lake, you get a wonderful view.

The place is full of peace and relaxation.
