Triumphal arch Photo

Photographer’s Note

Arcul de Triumf is a triumphal arch located in the northern part of Bucharest, on the Kiseleff Road.

The first, wooden, triumphal arch was built hurriedly, after Romania gained its independence (1878), so that the victorious troops could march under it. Another temporary arch was built on the same site, in 1922, after World War I, which was demolished in 1935 to make way for the current triumphal arch, which was inaugurated in September 1936.

The current arch has a height of 27 meters and was built after the plans of the architect Petre Antonescu. It has as foundation a 25 x 11.50 meters rectangle. The sculptures with which the facades are decorated were created by famous Romanian sculptors such as Ion Jalea and Dimitrie Paciurea.

Bonjour Isabela,
une photo nette et bien exposée qui nous montre un momument imposant de ce pays qui a bien souffert depuis son indépendance.
Il penche un peu, je pense que tu aurais dû redresser un peu la photo.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Buna Isabela,
Mi-ai furat ideea, dar o sa fac si eu o poza, din alt unghi.
In rest, iluminare excelenta si ton de culoare potivit.
O zi buna in continuare.

Hi Isabela,
Very nice one. Here is what I really like in this picure. 1.The evening yellow sun light has rightly illuminated the monument. Plus the shadows give the depth of the monument.
2. The blue sky's contrast is good.
3. The sharpness of the image is very good. i can almost read the scriptures on the monument.

Very good composition.
Regards,
Venkatesh

Hello my dear friend Isabela,

This is very clear shot, there is a little bit cadrage problem but it's because of the object's difficulty.

Finally good shot :)
