Hi TL Friends,

As you may have guessed, I was on a business trip in Bucharest, Romania. It’s a beautiful city with lots to do & see! And of course, very, very green! I was very fortunate to meet up with fellow TL member pozaru. Vlad is one very cool dude! Having not met before, he picked me up after work and gave me a tour of the city with his car. He is a natural tour guide and comes highly recommended!

In the heart of the city, there is this HUGE park & lake which I decided to walk around and do some exploring. Whilst walking round the lake, I saw these fishermen fishing for trout with a HUGE building in the background called the House of Press. It’s the official printing of all newspapers etc.

Enjoy!

Hello Constantinos,
Interesting information in your note!
And so is the image, interesting.
Trout... in the middle of the city, nice!
Impressive piece of architecture indeed, the light makes it stand out like the castle of the king!

Hi Constantinos,
This is a very nice HUGE photo :))
I like the balance between the HUGE building and the fisherman fishing the HUGE trout.
The sharpness and colors are excellent and this choice off POV with the diagonal of the shor is excellent.
Very well done.

Constantinos Hello.

Hi Constantinos

Incredible that the boat didn't capsize with 2 of the occupants standing. Glad you could meet Vlad. Tfs!

I almost thought it was a photo of Moscow river as we do have buildings of a very similar style in the Russian capital. It sounds like you didn't waste any time in Romania. :) Great composition and moment.

Hi Constantinos,

So you and Vlad met up - that's great. And to go to Romania on a business trip would have been good for you.
And they fish for trout here! Good compo Costas, the huge building certainly stands out. Not bad for a printing press...

Well composed shot - I love the contrast between the white of the building and the grey of the water, really makes the building stand out.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Constantinos
Good shot and composition. I like the huge frame to this shot.
Well done mf

Remember the building from the news
Nice lake
Ruud

1.Excellent postcard !
2.The name of the park is Herastrau and it is the biggest one of Bucharest.
3.I have strong doubts about the trouts and I'll do a research ...
4.The russian TL memebers will recognize the soviet styling of the building.
5.It was a real pleasure to meet you and I hope you'll come again.
6.I'll come back with the points

Hi Constantions!

beautiful composition, for us, so familiar! I love the presence of the fishermen, it's a little surrealistic:)

I think Bucharest isn't a good place to be right now, Κώστα... So you're lucky to be in Greece again.
Nice compo of a very tranquil scene... maybe the chimney with its white/red stripes is a little out of tune, I might have considered cloning that out... but that's my only nitpick today ;o)).

...and I was wondering what you were doing in Bucharest, then I read the notes. Amazing shot Constantinos, lovely colour, good detail and well composed. That is one big building. Trout? I haven't renewed my licence yet. TFS,
Dave
