under the snow

this is my favourite picture that i took in the last few months . the effect of the blue lights under the snow is amazing and i hope i captured it at least a little bit . it's in front of the city hall where they covered a tree and some evergreens in blue lights (as you can see in yesterday's post). oh , btw , now the snow is gone so it's not that nice anymore .

the second picture was taken from the back . in front of the city hall is the capitol hotel and in between is a sculpture about the legend of founding of Rome : the she-wolf with Romulus and Remus . Romulus and Remus are the traditional founders of Rome in 753 BC and are the twin sons of Mars . their grandfather's brother ordered a servant to kill them after they were born but he couldn't so he put them in a basket and laid the basket on the Tiber river so they survived . they were nursed by a she-wolf . at 18 , they founded their city but Romulus killed Remus and named the city after himself - Rome and he became the first king . the Romanian people was born from Romans and Dacians when romans conquered this part of the world (called Dacia at that time) , that's why you can find sculptures like this in Romania .
