After 1480 stairs, you can reach Vlad III (Dracula) the Impaler's Poenari Castle, located on DN7C road (also known as Transfăgărășan). The castle was built in 1453 by the architect Radu Negru, and destroyed around 1915. Although today all is left are a few walls from the castle, the view of the valley from the castle ruins is amazing.

"I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing"

I have drafts saved usually for 2-3 days ahead of posting, and this picture today was not in those drafts. But, this morning heard on the radio Aerosmith - I don't wanna miss a thing which is one of my favorite songs, and i've instantly thought about this picture that i took last autumn in Herastrau Park.

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this.

 

Constanta Shipyard

Located in Constanta, "Santierul Naval Constanta SA" is the world's 3rd place shipbuilder for medium range products and chemical tankers. Until 1950, the main activities here were focused on ship repairs. However, a very important moment of yard’s long history is in 1936, when it was launched the very first new ship building, a 12-m long yacht named “Crai Nou”. From October 1st, 2002 Santierul Naval Constanta has been privatized.

Jealousy? Loyalty? ... Mourning ?

Yellow -  in India - sacred color ; Greece - sadness ; Thailand -  royal color ; France - jealousy ; Buddhism : wisdom ; Egypt - color of mourning ; U.S.A./Canada - hope, faith, loyalty.
 Personally , i always went with "faith" on this one. I love France, but how can you bring yellow roses (which are pretty awesome) to someone as a symbol for jealousy ? Personal opinion only : if red roses represent love, and are the "most" important, yellow ones should definitely be on the 2nd place-loyalty-.

"Boulevard of Broken Dreams"

I'm not saying i'm obsessed, but i would go anywhere, anytime for a "decent" photo. :D
