Catedrala

Catedrala Ortodoxa din Sibiu. Interiorul. Cred ca am facut si refacut cadrul acesta de vreo douazeci de ori. Nu eram niciodata multumita de cum iesea. Si nici acum nu sunt pe deplin multumita. O sa mai fac o vizita pe acolo. Sau mai multe...

The Orthodox Cathedral in Sibiu. I think I must have done and redone this shot about twenty times. I was always displeased with it. I'm not quite sure about this one either. A revisit of the church is required. Or maybe more...

A short drive away

Sambata dimineata. El pleaca la examen, eu imi fac o cafea tare. Primele doua ore ale diminetii zboara pe langa mine in timp ce savurez fiecare strop de cafea. Deja e amiaza. Ce sa facem azi dupa ce termina cu examenul? Afara cerul e plin de nori care ameninta orasul cu o vijelie. Mi-am amintit de o biserica mai mica aflata la iesirea din oras. Asa ca ne urcam in masina, inarmati cu un trepied, aparat foto, energizante si o pofta de a iesi la iarba verde.

Saturday morning. He leaves to take an exam, I make myself a strong coffee. The first two hours of the morning fly by me as I savor every drop of coffee. It's noon soon. What should we do today after he's finished his exam? Outside the sky is filled with clouds that threaten the city with a storm. I remembered seeing a small church right at the exit of town. So we hoped in the car, armed with a tripod, a camera, energizers and a zest to go for a picnic.

The sun crawls across a final time

Seara in Piata Mare. Eu cu un roman, el cu un laptop. Eu intr-o "minunata lume noua", el printre termeni tehnici. Amandoi inchinand cu o doza de energizant.

Evening in the Grand Square. Me with a novel, him with a laptop. Me in a "brave new world", him among technical terms. Both toasting a can of energy drink.

This is for Thursday, June 23rd. (And now I am finally back on track.)

Staring at your window

Intotdeauna am vrut sa incerc asa ceva. Iar Sibiul nu duce lipsa de ferestre interesante. Urmeaza una cu usi. Neaparat.

I've always wanted to try something like this. And since Sibiu has no shortage of interesting windows... The next one will be with doors.

For Tuesday, June 21th.

Face to face

Explorarea urbana a Sibiului continua...de maine. Azi o sa ma lupt cu  demonii lui Dostoievsky.

The urban exploration of Sibiu continues...tomorrow. Today I'm wrestling with Dostoievsky's demons.

Entrance

Una din intrarile in Catedrala Sfanta Treime din Sibiu. A fost construita la inceputul secolului trecut si e o copie la scara redusa a Catedralei Sfanta Sofia din Constantinopol.

Entrance in the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Sibiu. The cathedral was built at the beginning of the twentieth century and it is a copy on a smaller scale of the Hagia Sofia in Constantinople.
