this image is taken at the millitary parade in our national day (1 december). this is a "happy" tank, and I use this image for remember the "sad" tanks in december 1989...

they still call it "revolution", but everybody knows it was a "coup d'etat".

from wikipedia:
The Romanian Revolution of 1989 was a week-long series of riots and fighting in late December of 1989 that overthrew the Communist regime of Nicolae Ceauşescu. The increasingly violent clashes culminated in a summary trial and the execution of Ceauşescu and his wife Elena. Romania was the only Eastern Bloc country to violently overthrow its Communist regime or to execute its leaders.

The total number of deaths in the Romanian Revolution was 1,104, of which 162 were in the protests that led to the overthrow of Nicolae Ceauşescu (16-22 December 1989) and 942 in the fighting that occurred after the seizure of power by the new political structure National Salvation Front (FSN). The number of wounded was 3,352, of which 1107 occurred while Ceauşescu was still in power and 2,245 after the National Salvation Front took power [1].

Bonjour.
Une photo bien cadré avec un joli rendu.
J'ai déjà fait des photos de notre défilé pour la fête nationale.
Bravo !

Multumesc Anca pentru acest remember.
E frumos ca ti-ai amintit si ai postat o imagine elocventa pentru ceea ce n-a fost,cred eu,nici un simplu "coup d'etat" dar nici o clasica revolutie.Unii stiu,noi inca nu.
Sarbatori fericite si numai bine !
sorin

thanks for sharing the photo and note anca :)

A very good capture, Anca! Too bad you missed a bit of the flag, but the tight crop is fantastic. Good photo-journalist shot! Happy Holidays!

This is a very sombre picture for a December 22, Anca, but one that reminds us that it is not always only joy that is experienced around the Christmas holidays. I do remember watching the Romanian revolution on TV and being quite chocked by all of the violence. This is so far from our own experience, here in Canada.

A good photo-journalist picture. Well done!

Frumos Anca, ma gandeam si eu la asa ceva, dar n-am avut nici o foto elocventa. Foarte bine surprins, chiar daca oamenii din tanc si tancul nu seamana cu cele de atunci, noi stim cum a fost...:((.
Ma inclin in fata lor, a eroilor.

Sarbatori Fericite!
Mihaela

Well done!
