[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Brasov is often referred to as "the city at the foot of Mount Tampa". Tampa is the natural
landmark of Brasov( the hill that appears in my pictures of Brasov)
and it can be seen from every corner of the city. It is 900m above see level high and it has a large TV transmitter antenna on top. It is actually in the middle of Brasov, making a clear division between the old medieval part of the city and the new one, made up of concrete blocks of flats.
You can have the best view of Brasov from the top of Mount Tampa. You can reach it by cable car (called Telecabina) or walking up one of the few paths twisting up the hill. Walking to the top takes about an hour (red triangles) from the cable car station or yellow triangles from Brediceanu Alley. The hiking trail is low difficulty level nonetheless, but it is recommended in summer seasons only. Or, if you chose to take the cable car, from the upper station walk five minutes along the path to the rocky outcrop (the top, 955m high) for the best views of the old town. You'll clearly be able to make out the different parts of Brasov: the German part of town has hundreds of red roofs crammed between straight streets surrounding Piata Sfatului, while the Romanian Schei district to the south is a spaghetti of small streets, jumbled houses and cemeteries, petering out towards the hills. On the plain are the later additions to Brasov: the 18th and 19th century expansions and of course the flats and huge factories from the last 50 years.
At the foot of Tampa, along the SE side of the old fortress walls is a very romantic alley. Shaded by old trees, dotted with many benches it is one of the favorite strolling spots for Brasovians. You can ride your bicycle , or use your roller blades, as well. There are a few tennis and basketball grounds here, too. Kids can play on the playground.

Hello Oana
Beautiful evening light u've utilized here. A very fine view and balanced frame.
The reflection (may be) on the round roofs looks too good.

Nice capture

Hi Oana,

Another beautiful cityscape capture from Brasov! The roofs of the churches and the houses give pretty look to the city's skyline. The green tree on the right corner of the picture adds charm to the warm scene of the city. I like the red colored roofs of the houses, which reflect sunshine quite brilliantly, bringing mood into the shot. The sharpness and POV are wonderful, as always.
Very well seen!

thanks and regards,
Paras Bhalla
