Roses and orchids

Some say that we shouldn't keep dried flowers in our houses as they are not able to blossom anymore, to grow and get more beautiful.....I don't keep dried flowers in my house but I dared to take some pictures of some beautiful roses that I believe refuse to get old and stopped their existence at a certain moment in time gladly offering further their beauty.

Orchids are my favorites ones-they remind me of my childhood, of far away trips, delicacy, humbleness and royalty....

Bucharest - December 2006 - ready for EU accesssion :-)

In decembrie 2006 am pornit intr-un clasic "turneu de fotografie" prin Bucuresti, sperand sa gasesc beculetze, luminitze, stelutze, ingerasi, Mosi Craciuni si alte minunatii asemanatoare. Am dat din intamplare peste altele-masini si inscriptii....:-) "ajustate" la standardele UE.

Happy New Year!

Bucharest fog-autumn 2006

Rome-April-May 2006

Imagine that for two months I spent magnifiscent moments in Rome, living in a building close to Villa Borghese, having THIS view from my window....

Via Appia Antica - a magic path

Autumn in Bucharest

Painted walls of Bucharest

Bucharest is amazing in a way, if you learn to see all this mix of messages that come accross from the street, from the walls, from the people. I have just selected two stencils with... wings... and one of the most creative and vivid house walls, covered with grafitti and different ads-usually very minimalist ads.

Religion and art of Rome

Frescoes

Detail of the Ceiling of the San Zeno chapel in Santa Prassede basilica in Rome.

San Paolo in Vincoli (in chains) the basilica houses the relic of the chains that bound Saint Peter while imprisoned in Jerusalem.

San Sebastian

Glass

Glass in a windowpane in Trastevere-Rome, glass at Villa Torlonia-a beautiful house that one does not expect to find in Rome and glass at MNAC-the National Museum of Modern Art in Bucharest-a stolen :-) photo taken when the bartender was not around. Of course there is the glass of Murano that I will soon post and hope you will enjoy.
