I haven't seen such beauty for a long time, or at least something to impress me that much. I can only imagine how did the photographer felt when seeing the view and trying to immortalize the best parts

Thanks for giving me another reason (strenghten my dream) to visit sometime Moscow

Yeah, it's probably pretty difficult to imagine Ottawa, if you have no idea how it looks. hehe. The Canal is amazing in the winter, so if you ever come to Ottawa, it must be in the winter! It's a *bit* cold , but the skating is fabulous!

No problem, sestrichka! The Notre Dame is my favourite. It's incredible in there. I am in love with the ceiling! hehe. And of course, I knew you would like the world's largest skating rink!

And woooww... Your photos of Moscow are incredible, Lerochka!!! They look like something from a dream. Almost too beautiful to be real!

I've promised some photos from Romania.
Since I can't select the most representative ones I'll post many photos. I'm sorry...I hope you will enjoy them.

First I'll post some photos with monasteries and castles...

This is Bran Castle where "Dracula" - Vlad Tepes used to live


This is The Monastery of Arges. It is supposed to be build with a sacrifice. The building kept collapsing till the arhitecture (Manole) made the supreme sacrifice, he walled up his wife. It's the triumph of beauty and art over love...


another castle in Hunedoara


The Russian Church from Bucharest (our capital)


In Iasi (a city) there is a huge cultural center and major universities


A castle build by Carol who came to rule Romania in 1866. There was a huge fight over this property a few months ago, whether it belongs to the state or to King Mihai's children. (King Mihai is the last king Romania had, he still lives now...but he abdicated because of communism. Now it's democracy..)


Old Court and the ruins of it


Sighisoara (The oldest medieval town preserved in Europe)


Sighisoara view


Black Church from Brasov (burned once and that's where the name "Black" came from)


more to come....

Part II

Here is the Casino from Constanta. A beautiful building and great arhitecture. It is near the Black Sea. (I've made some photos last year...if you want details I'll be happy to give them to you)

This is the Danube and the Iron Gates


Histria- Greek colony on the coast of the Black Sea - ruins (It's a major archeological site righ now)


Romania's mountains


Formed by the wind, water...natural forces. It is called the Sphynx


From the Botanique Garden


Old romanian type of house/hut (izba )


In Transylvania


Enjoy

Hugs and kisses,
Alex

Oh yes, I love it ! But I find it very strange. It is all in iron, it has the shape of an arrow and you can climb on the top... Very strange, but very beautiful of course !

Yes, it is really! I just asked you, because I heard from some friends (who have been in France) that there were many people (or ot so many actually) who don't like it! But I think it's nice, although it's really a little bit "strange".
