We hiked through a valley along a river in rural Romania.

Gura Portitei in the Danube Delta, a wonderful place in Romania.
To see this, it takes one hour by the motorboat,
you have to cross a huge lake and…
beyond what you see in this picture, is the sea…

Romania-Pasajul Victoria, Bucharest

Built between 1902 – 1906 in a similar style with the Saint Sofia Cathedral
from Istanbul.
On this place was a Greek Church built in 1778.
The architects were Virgil Nagy and Iosif Kamner from Budapest.
Fresco paintings were made by Octavian Smigelschi and Arthur Coulin.
The interior is dominated by a massive gold chandelier, about which swirl wisp
of incense and neo Byzantine decorations.
At the entrance a massive carved door that bears a German insignia.
This is the second largest Orthodox Cathedral in Romania.

The old palace of the National Bank of Romania was erected before 1900. Soon
it became clear that an extension was needed behind the old building.
A new wing was planned in 1937 and it was connected to the old wing.
With the façade on Doamnei Street, the new wing of the NBR Palace was built
during World War II, after having laid the foundation stone back in 1937.
The construction works carried on between 1942-44 under the direction of
architect Ion Davidescu assisted by two other architects, Radu Dudescu and N. Cretoiu.
The building is emblematic of the neo-classical style with rationalist
influences that prevailed in the inter-bellum period. It impresses by the
monumental granite stairs, the huge Corinthian columns forming the façade, and
the large, white marble-coated halls such as the one above.
