Kitten Musings

A homage to the Romanian alternative band Gandul Matzei ( literally "the cat's thoughts").And a flower to go.And a hydrant.Guess that would make dogs happy but whatever.

Sighisoara today?!

Visiting Sighisoara one feels like all the old Orient remnants were dumped there, mixed with some old German and Hun heritage, and with a bit of local flavor added just to make this place unique..so..Romanian.

Cubulent Nightmare

Cubicles=small boxes containing hyper-stressed under-payed human beings working for goals we common mortals have a hard time comprehending.International company = work farms consisting in one or more overseers and a multitude of sufficiently diverse canned human beings in tiny cubicles.
International company architecture = strictly functional 3-d array of cubicles,totally foreign to any aesthetics whatsoever.
Square heads = any cubicle "smart-ass"that is so dumbed down it cannot function anymore outside the protective cubicle.

And here's the proof... arrays of cubicles.

Magnolia

A magnificent Magnolia blossom, the peaceful gardens of an old ruin..Spring is truly here.

The time is...

and it's too early to be late.

A raging tsunami.. ( small scale big scare)

Last summer a marine earthquake shook Varna and caused a "tsunami". The said wave had only 0.5 m at its best and it just made for some increased fun on the beach.A fisherman's boat- the perfect place for a portrait.

Life in Kodachrome

Life is colorful. All about my job.Go nuts in the air station.Eat poison ivy. Rinse, repeat.

Still looking for the summer

i
Chris Rea was right..in winter's heart..still looking for the summer..

Tranquility / what the..duck?

i

Fine weather that late in winter is something.So walking the shores of a sunny but nearly frozen lake, what the..duck?!?!?!

Random thoughts of a busy man/Strange tripping

Got some post-apocalyptic images from Bucharest : an ecologist group decided to place gas-masks on all the statues in a public place to alert about the rapid deterioration in air quality, and some "show-biz" girls understand that show business is about showing your..business around even if it's darn cold and freezing and the windows are covered in beautiful frost-leaves.
Both the prince and his horse need the gas mask protection it seems. As a funny sidenote in the First World War gas masks for horses were real and were issued whenever cavalry was expecting gas attacks.

Shots in exile: the sea

 The seaside...Costinesti in 2009-lots of sun..and moon.. and some very mixed-up buildings somehow translate to a happy and light atmosphere.

Unmistakeable return to the future

Past and present intertwine more than we think.. Maya ancestry in the middle of Bucharest? nope, of course-but the shapes and patterns of that old communist style have been spotted and completed by a rebellious street artist with a (nice) touch of his own; also some old buildings are restored but somehow seem to have lost their original charm.. why is that ? (second picture) ; and sometimes even the worst monuments in this city have their inspired little pieces ( last picture): the young tree logs you walk on to get to the .. horror that is the "monument" to the heroes of the Revolution..

Dreamworld: reflections in broken glass

Fragments of a waking dream.......incredible shards of commonplace reality.It is an art to really..be there.
