Photographer’s Note
The windows in the Vlad Dracul's house in Sighisoara. I hope You like it:)
About Vlad Dracul's house
The Vlad Dracul's House is located in the Citadel Square, close to the Clock Tower. This ocher-colored house is the place where Vlad Tepes, the inspiration for Bram Stoker's famous Dracula, was born in 1431 and lived with his father, Vlad Dracul, until 1435 when they moved to Targoviste.
About Sighisoara
Founded by Transylvanian Saxons during the 12th century, Sighisoara still stands as one of the most beautiful and best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. It was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Sighisoara is a perfectly intact 16th century gem with nine towers, cobbled streets, burgher houses and ornate churches. It is also the birthplace of Vlad Dracula, also known as Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler), ruler of the province of Walachia from 1456 to 1462. It was he who inspired Bram Stoker's fictional creation, Count Dracula. (from www.romaniatourism.com)

Picture shows a sense of humour. Excellent crop.
PS. Sighisoara, known for 2000 years as Segesva'r before Roumania took it over in 1918, was the place where Hungary's greatest poet, Petofi Sandor was killed in a battle in 1849 by the Russians, during Hungary's War of Independence). Jancsi
