Bucharest BCR Bank Building, a photo from Bucuresti, East

Photographer's Note

Bucharest Old town has many imposing old buildings such as this. I am not sure if the fg building is the Bucharest Palace of Parliament or the bg French style building with the copper roof. Edit: It is neither of these buildings. The fg building is now occupied by the BCR Bank (Bank Commercial Romania) and the bg building is the National Bank of Romania. Here's another view I found when trying to find the name. https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3383/4575455961_e4049f751b_z.jpg

And a useful website of the old town and a map with photos of landmarks.

I had heard that there wasn't much to see in Bucharest so it was a pleasant surprise that there are many fine old buildings in a neoclassical Baroque style throughout the old town along with some nice churches and an interesting archaeology museum and ruined castle where Vlad Tepe (a.k.a. Dracula) once lived.

Hi CHris,

The subject is well framed. The close-up point of view is showing with precision the details of this section of the palace of Parliament. The good luminosity is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

Bonjour Chris,

J'aime beaucoup cette contre plongée. Elle donne une très belle ampleur à la scène et utilise ce superbe ciel bleu comme arrière plan qui contraste bien avec le blanc pur du bâtiment.

Amicalement

hello Chris, So you left Moldova and came back to Romania. Beautifully decorated buildings. Superb composition wit showing nice details . Splendid colours. I was in Bucharest more than fifty years ago and I remember that there were many very nice buildings but there was a very strong earthquake and maybe some where destroyed.
excellent presentation.
Warm regard s Malgo
