The Cathedral of Veltz, a beautiful and old monument, now a ruin... and nobody gives any help, nobody...

again, thinking about Romania... we have a beautiful country, full of history and art, full of spirituality, but we don't care... it's a true adventure for the turists to visit something here:) but we love our country, it's so... different;) like a beautiful woman who doesn't care about the make-up:))

Hi Anca,
It is really sad to see a fine piece of architecture end up like here...
Your B&W conversion fits subject and situation well, and your image gives a very good impression of damage done to this church...
Well done on this report!
Greetings,
Pablo -

I visited your country past summer. You have a long way to walk by, but you have a lot of rivers an coast, energy, culture, nature, wood, fruits, snow, mountains, minerals. Step by step, you will have a well exploited country where people won't need to leave it. Believe me. Some years ago we were in a similar situation, and our only richness is the sun and the beach.

Ui, and the picture, well, i like it. it's a picture meaningful.

Enric.

I like this shot not because it has a good pov, nor nice b&w tones, it is because you have concerns about this beauty may become complete ruins and nothing could be saved then :( good job Anca..

What a sad end to a beautiful building - your picture really captures the sadness of this. I visited Romania as a child and thought it was a very beautiful place. Hopefully people will realise what they are losing before it is too late

There are a lot of places like that in Russia too. Some religious buildings were turned into storage facilities during the Soviet Union time or places where people would simply live. It is somewhat changing nowadays but the process is slow ...

This photo has a dreamy effect, esp. visible in the bottom left corner with wheels of a truck disappearing in the dust and sun light. The building is magnificent regardless of its current condition.

Hi Anca,
Your photo describes the sitiuation here very well. Hope that such pitiful shots raise some awareness to this unrecoverable damage.
TFS.,
Salvu.

Ce faci vecina de galerie romaneasca?
Se pare ca ruina mea e ceva mai norocoasa decat a ta ...


pupi,

Is a pity nobody helps this beautiful church. I like your shot in b/W. Nice testimonial work.

Foarte frumoasa, Anca, pare o poza din alt secol sau din albumul bunicilor, imi place senzatia de atemporal data de alb-negru. Ai surprins f bine detaliile, si jocul lumina-umbra, imi place tare mult, bravo!

Beautiful shot anca;
i love the composition, the point of vue and the framing.
Excellant Job you did
