Now that tourism slowly discoveres Romania, at least the the main attractions get some attention from the local authorities, and a basic infrastructure to help tourists find their way is being created.

This is the Romanian Athenaeum, a concert hall in the center of Bucharest. Opened in 1888, the ornate, domed, circular building is the city's main concert hall and home of the "George Enescu" Philarmonic and of the George Enescu annual international music festival.

The building was designed by the French architect Albert Galleron. A portion of the construction funds was raised by public subscription in a 28-year long effort, of which the slogan is still remembered today: "Spend one leu for the Ateneu!"

Hello Johannes,
An original composition giving an unattended shot. This is a good idea ad it is perfectly realised.
Have a nice week-end.
Best regards, Christian

Hallo Johannes
a nice iadea to share the picture in two, even if the division is not perfectly vertical.
regards,didier

Buna Johannes

Interesanta incadrarea 50/50 pe verticala.Pacat ca nu ai indreptat Ateneul.Acel panou cred ca e interesant de vazut.

Felicitari pentru aparat si restul accesoriilor ;-)...sa-l stapanesti sanatos!.

Duminica placuta,
Lucian

Hi Johannes,

I've visited Bucuresti on a trip for my job, about ten years ago, and I had the pleasure to attend a concert in the Atheneum. It's a great concert hall. I like the composition and the nice colours, but I think I would have corrected the perspective of the Atheneum a little. TFS
