Auto Reflection

Exploring the city of Vienna on foot last April, I spotted this squeaky clean car offering a funky view of the old buildings on this street. I just like the lines of the building design coupled with the bare trees.

Vienna, 2011

I prefer this scene in monochrome. My honey disagrees; he says the original color photo is almost black and white already and the blue sky adds to the story. Mouse over my image and you can see the color version. What do you think? Don't worry, you are not taking sides in any domestic dispute... this is a friendly discussion. Really... LOL!

Today I link with memes Weekend Reflections, Weekend in Black and White, and Walk in the Street.

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.

Pi as Public Art

Vienna, 2011

This is a permanent media installation in an underground passageway under Karlsplatz in Vienna. The artist is Canadian Ken Lum. If you'd like to read more about this artist or his public art click here.

This photo is my contribution to Weekend Reflections, Weekend in Black + White and Walk in the Street. Enlarge it for a better view.

[SkyWatch] Blue Dome. Blue Sky.

You might think the blues would melt together, yet it struck me how stunning these blue church domes looked against the bright blue sky. 


 Chisinau, 2011

This is another Orthodox church I walked past in Chisinau, but did not have time to find out its name. Over 90% of Moldovans call themselves Orthodox Christians.

Built in 1901, The Hotel Capitol is one of the grand old hotels in the heart of Bucharest.
