Basarab Overpass 2.0

On the tramway line, at Basarab Overpass, around 2a.m.

Traffic - Victoria Avenue

Light traffic on Victoria Avenue.
This is probably one of the most crowded streets in Bucharest, since the City Hall decided that is better to cut out one of the 3 lanes of the street and leave it with only 2 lanes...for a street that connects the north side of the city with the center.

Goat Stream / Paraul Capra

     So i missed posting something yesterday, due to the fact that i almost broke my knee two days ago, and all the pain that i had yesterday didn't exactly gave me any kind of mood to open my computer.
     This is a view that you can see if you decide to leave your car at the bottom of Transfagarasan road, and walk the walking route through the woods up to the top, at Balea Lac.
    In the picture you can see Goat Stream / Paraul Capra.

Legal Alien

Just like Sting says in his song : " i'm a little alien, i'm a legal alien".

Railways

In Romania it's like this : 70% of the trains are new...200% of the railways are very old, and because of this the railway transport it's still mediocre.

Tramway 21

This is one of the few times i will ever post something bad about Bucharest. Thank you. :)

5 years passed since i moved to Bucharest. Before moving here, to university, i said this : 'I have to move here because i love diversity, and Bucharest is perfect"..And in a way, or another, i was right. But, there's a reason why 90% of stand up comedy shows in Romania have jokes about public transportation...it's awful, worst public transportation in the country..Smells? Yes..Crowded? Definitely..Loud music from personal phones, people rushing somewhere all the time, babies screaming, gypsies (there's a joke on facebook where it says : Romania it's the country where your wallet gets off the tramway one station before you do)....And yes, also my wallet got off the tramway a station before i did..once...If you ever visit Bucharest, try to find yourself a guide, a travel agency or a hotel which will pick you up from the airport. This is an advice if you want to have an amazing time here.

Poenari Castle - Dracula's 2nd Castle

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.

People's House

"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.

Basarab Overpass

Basarab Overpass is probably the only good thing that was built in Bucharest in the last 10 years. This overpass was built to ease the traffic around Bucharest north railway station in Sector 1.

"Boulevard of Broken Dreams"

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

Church of England : Anglican Communion

There is a huge lack of information about he anglican communion of Bucharest. But still, i can tell you that the first attempt to build this church was made by Sir John Kennedy, ambassador of U.K. in Romania, back in 1900, when he obtained the land, and the construction of it was finished in 1920. The Church of England it is located 10 minutes away (walking) from Roman Square, downtown Bucharest.
