After Brasov( my home city) this is my "heart city"
if i will ever have to move from here Sibiu will be for sure next home :)

about the picture is made from same Evangelical Cathedral which offers a 360 degrees panorama
new and old architectures comes together and create this wonderful view in the BG is the Orthodox Cathedral 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.
In the FG is the Reformed Church formed in the first half of the century XVI and making converts among the Catholic faithful of the Hungarians in Transylvania, the Reformed movement, whose bases were made by French Catholic priest Jean Calvin, was encouraged by the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, Hungary the battle of Mohacs (1526).The interior, as sober (austerity imposed by the canons and worship Calvin) delivers a church hall with an apse. The walls are marked only the dual pillars supporting Cornices same as outside. Is semi-cylindrical vault supported by arches The axis of the altar is placed a pulpit with canopy decorated with gold grounds of some curtains and garlands of roses. In the west of the church organ is located on a platform supported by two massive columns. Access door, wooden, two wings, dating from the eighteenth century is decorated with geometric and floral elements.

Morning, Oana!

Lovely colors, and great control on DOF!
I like the colorful roofs of the buildings and the architecture of the historical church makes it even more beautiful. The mountains in the BG bring dynamism to the picture.
Very well done, my friend!

Paras

Superba aceasta imagine panoramica a orasului vechi cu muntii Fagaras in fundal. Sibiul e un oras aparte. Din pacate arhitectura cladirilor noi nu este la inaltimea (ca valoare artistica) celor vechi.
Multumim Oana pentru aceasta fotografie,
Cosmin

Poate ca mergea o incadrare ceva mai in sus, cu ceva mai mult din muntii din zare (ca sa "respire" mai bine) da-i faina si asa

dear Oana,
a wonderful shot of the special view in Sibiu.
old buildings and new buildings make interesting contrast in one shot.
and after all, you suggest that old stone houses are more beautiful and significant than new constructions, to my eyes.
lined stone houses and those roofs are excellent, and towers and domes too.
old tone of brown/orange colors are my favorite.
thank you,
Akihisa

Sibiu would make a good second choice Oana, the view from the belfry is great indeed , i find myself spotting like the many buildings in your picture sporting the eye-ball style of windows popping out of their rooftops , a style particular to Sibiu, catchy and interesting ,
TFS,
Carol
