My last picture from the serie about Oradea.

------------------------------------------------------
Oradea, one of the beautiful cities of Eastern Europe, is the entrance gate to Romania, on the Western border, and the capital of the Bihor County. Located on the hills between Crisana Plain and the foot of the Western Carpathians, on the banks of the Crisul Repede River, the town blends nostalgic imprints of the past, magic of nature and wind of change all together.

Oradea is one the few undiscovered gems of Romania's tourism. Despite the city being one of the largest and most important in Transylvania, with a high degree of administrative, economic and commercial importance, it is often overlooked by tourists in favor of other Transylvanian cities such as Brasov, Sighisoara or Cluj-Napoca.
The city combines a good location and climate with romantic baroque architecture from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with a lovely jumble of Romanian and Hungarian cultures. The city was passed back many times between Hungary and Romania, with both these cultures are apparent in the city giving it a special charm and pleasant mix of architecture.
Many tourists also make a stopover in Oradea before travelling further on to Cluj-Napoca, Brasov or Bucharest. Recently, tourism is booming and people are even considering attributing the name Le Petit Paris (The Little Paris) to it.

Here you can find more informations about how to get in the area and what places to visit.

Thak you and have a nice Sunday.

Hello Luc,

what a charming town you live in! :)
Of all the postcards you posted so far, I like this one the most, as the inclusion of the water makes composition more interesting, creating a nice diagonal in the foreground.

have a nice Sunday!

Hi Lucian!
A great dynamic foreground for this nice view at this building.Great POV and good strong colors.I like a lot the contrast with this nice sky.
Regards,leo

Lucian,
Excellent shot! Your composition is fine using the vertical format and including the waterfall in the shot. The lighting and colors are fine with excellent sharpness and DOF. The sky is great and provides an excellent background for the shot.
TFS,
Asa

Lucian,
a great postcard from your city with a very good and clever composition having the white element of the water in the foreground providing a good dynamic element to the otherwise quite static view.
