Arch of Triumph - Bucharest Romania

Indeed come spring, now is the sun, here comes the rain.In the photo is the Arch of Triumph and its reflection in the rain.
Bucharest once called "Little Paris" and has a triumphal arch, built in the period 1921-1922 and renovated in 1935-1936. It commemorates the victory of Romania in WWI.

Currently is in the process of rehabilitation of the building.

Have a beautiful spring and a sunny weekend!

Intre vechi si nou - Colegiul Iulia Hasdeu

            Zi obisnuita, sau nu, alergi sa reusesti sa cuprinzi toate treburile ce le ai de rezolvat intr-o zi. 

           In aglomeratia orasului, ceva imi atrage atentia. O raza de soare si luneta unei masini ma scoate din prezent si ma arunca, cu gandul, spre vremi trecute.

Colegiul National Iulia Hasdeu, abia renovat, straluceste in soare.

       Cladirea liceului a fost construita in 1926 si din anul 1929 cinsteste prin numele sau memoria Iuliei Hasdeu, prima romanca ce a fost admisa la Sorbona. Mai multe despre Iulia Hasdeu cititi aici: http://www.descopera.ro/fenomenele-paranormale/4619696-iulia-hasdeu-genialul-copil-al-culturii-romane-viata-de-apoi

          Sunt convinsa ca numele liceului nu a fost intamplator, ci s-a dorit ca genialitatea Iuliei sa insufleteasca dorinta de a invata si a sclipi a celor ce urmeaza cursurile liceului.

              Intre vechi si nou, Colegiul Iulia Hasdeu strajuieste de ani invatamantul romanesc.

              Chiar si in mijlocul unei zile aglomerate, poti sa te opresti un pic, sa te bucuri de o cladire frumoasa, sa-ti amintesti o poveste stranie si interesanta, intr-un cuvant sa-ti bucuri sufletul pentru o secunda. Si apoi...din nou la treburi, dar mai destins.

Old and new

A walk through the old center of Bucharest and a snapshot - old building reflected in new construction. 

Have a nice weekend... with weekend reflections!

Casa Batlló - "Casa dels ossos" - in the sunset

Casa Batlló is one of the most impressive and admired of all Gadi's creations. Opinions differ on what the building's remarkable façade represents, particularly its polychrome shimmering walls, its sinister skeletal balconies and its humpbacked scaly roof. 

Some say it's the spirit of carnival, others a Costa Brava cove. 

However, the most popular theory, which takes into account the architect's deeply patriotic feelings, is that it depicts Sant Jordi and the dragon – the idea being that the cross on top is the knight's lance, the roof is the back of the beast, and the balconies below are the skulls and bones of its hapless victims.

Like a fairytale

Holidays in COMANESTI (a small town in Romania) as a fairytale

No fairies, but heroes of fairytales and ancestral traditions.
Every year, on December 30, has place "Festival ancestral customs and traditions"

Prince on the black horse

Princess 

People with masks to ward off evil spirits

Bujor's outlaws, popular theater, dressed in traditional costumes.  Bujor is local synonym of Robin Hood.

Ward off evil spirits through dance and sound of bells, so the new year will be good and bad cleaning

The goat brings wealth and health adorned the new year

And much noise bells for good and prosperity

Happy New Year to all!
