Capitol Reflection

The grand old Hotel Capitol is located on the main Bucharest avenue Calea Victoriei. I posted an image of the 1901 building in full here.

A walk down this road on a different day offered me a nice street shot for Weekend Reflections, Walk in the Street, and Weekend in Black and White.

Reflected, besides the street traffic, is another historic restaurant, now a 61-room hotel, called Casa Capşa, built in 1852.

Bucharest, 2011

    Another great, dizzying reflection! I would never have imagined this view from the earlier picture.

    The b&w and the bikes make it look like the 1920s! Lovely shot!

    Francisca, the whole scene in the photo is almost an entire reflective scene. Nice shot!

    I like those wonky reflections in the windows. The building that houses the hotel has been around for a century and a half? NEAT!

    Thanks for your visit and kind words. I took the photos 40 years ago with B&W film. I don't own a digital camera. I have four film SLR bodies and a good collection of lenses. I rarely shoot in color now. 99% of my work is done with B&W film that I develop myself.

    The b/w is perfect here ;-)

    ...the ice creams are OK, but not firstclasses. Few years ago "Hjem-Is" was big business, but then all supermarkets began selling ice creams too!

    Have a great Sunday!!

    Very interesting going back to see the earlier post and comparing it. Both lovely views and so different. This beautiful one really works perfectly with all those memes.
