More captivating Bucharest architecture: here are a couple of windows and part of a door on a small red brick church whose name I failed to note for Mary's Window Views. Romania is secular with no state religion, yet with about 87% of Romanians registered as Eastern Orthodox, it would be fairly safe to guess that is what this church is.
Bucharest, 2011
This close up photo to show you the intricate window detail with the exquisite wrought iron grate is for Sepia Scenes.
If detail appeals to you, it's worth enlarging these images.

Beautiful door designs, very old and intricate, however very drab colors! I still love the vernacular colors of Solo, Surakarta.
Perfect intricate work -- and perfect for a sepia.
Beautiful details - not that they seem to go together, but nice to look at.
Re: Word verification, let me know how it's working. I tried turning mine off awhile back and instantly got spammed.
Fabulous details here. You really are having a photographic ball!
Beautiful windows--love all the detail. MB
Great photos; the first could have been used in Midweek Blues ;-)
The church is beautiful, the massive building a testament to the faith and worship of the divine being. Despite being so large, it is graceful and stylish. And its lovely shape seems so perfect in sepia. Beautifully captured!
The ironwork is very intricate!!

That is an unusually youthful looking figure int eh first one. Love the iron work in the grille.

It's nice to see that this architecture survived the days of Communism.
Beautiful windows! The old churches of Europe are architectural marvels!

This window is gorgeous!
Such ornate windows! They don't make them like that any more! Thanks for stopping by.
I love this kind of intricacy...just wish we had more of it in the States...rather than so many bland modernish boxes!
