Hi dear TL friends

This is the gorgeous Piata Unirii, a beautiful square in the heart of Timisoara. In this picture, the main monument is the Roman Catholic Church.

This is the famous square, where i met with our TL friend FLORY, in February 2007 and with schimmergabi (Gabriela) in May 2006.

TIMISOARA is the most western like Romanian city, both in democratic traditions as well as in outlook. Within 40 miles from Hungary and Serbia alike, this city prides itself with its elegant baroque squares, churches of many faiths, new German and French libraries and a pedestrian only, downtown. Timisoara is an excellent place to wind down. You'll find a mind-boggling selection of beer patios, cafes, restaurants, and gift shops along "16th December 1898" boulevard.

Timisoara is also a place for ethnic diversity. Along Romanians (65-70%) there are Germans, Hungarians, Serbes, Slovaks, and a Jewish community. And contrary to trends in other parts of Eastern Europe, they do get along remarkably well. Timisoara should be a reference point of a tolerant place, of a community with higher purpose.

I Hope you like it

Olá Aires,

Belíssimo postcard, esta foto me lembra cidades do interior de São Paulo, onde as casas se concentram em volta da Igreja central.
Belo visual, belas cores e afiado maravilhoso.
Parabens pelo belo visual!

Green color of grass and darker sky are significant elements of the picture. Lower point of view is well enhancing the beautify of subject i.e. the monument. Fine details and good luminar mangement. Well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.
