i don't have a picture with red eggs so i show you this red tree . spring is nice ... hahaha

fun

having fun at work is great .

these two girls , working at the home decorations shop "indica" are taking advantage of the furniture on display and have a break in front of the shop ... and a swing .

green

"don't step on the grass"

why not ?

central park in a beautiful afternoon light

flowers

it's the flowers season .

and this is a kiosk for flowers at the livada postei bus terminal in the old town . a new one . very nice design and good quality , a big difference from all the other stands and kiosks .

tired

too tired ? too drunk ? no problem ! now the weather is nice and a bench in the central park is the perferct place for the sunday afternoon nap ...

courthouse

colorful perspective

an industrial building can offer an interesting perspective

general view

a general view from the top floor of unirea mall where you can see the train station blvd . on the left (out of the pic) is the central train station , the red one is my place mini mall . the rest are just dull , grey apartment buildings .

landscaping

building a new small plaza / square . this place used to be just that a long time ago and after many transformations it comes back at being a (hopefully) nice place to relax near to some shopping complexes and an open market .

tks kris but i hope it's not "the end" yet ... hahaha

closed

raining raining raining .

the doors are closed .

people are strange when you are a stranger .

nothing is working .

"waiting" for the sun ...

well , whatever , nevermind ... hehehe

ceiling

the ceiling of a shopping mall and a detail of the pavement representing their logo .

offb

an office building recently renovated . it's good to see more old buildings renovated but it's gonna take a long time cause almost the whole city needs renovation ... hahaha

romtelecom

the romtelecom (phone company) brasov branch headoffice building .

cubix

still working on it but they gonna open soon . a new hotel , a small , business hotel , the location isn't great near to the bus terminal but the area will get better in a few years , especially after the brasov business centre will be ready . and actually the hotel looks cool , modern simple architecture , one of the few modern new buildings in brasov that actually doesn't look stupid .

fair

this weekend we have 2 events . a clothes and shoes fair , confintex 2008 at itc (first pic) and a constructions exhibition , camex 2008 at the sports hall (second pic) .

it's open

after one week with a lot of rain and cold weather , the door is open for spring . the past three days we had 20 degrees C and it smells like springtime . it was about time .

too drive

and for a different view here's something easier to recognize ... hehehe

to drive

passionate about cars ?

not many of these left .

it's a trabant .

budapesta restaurant

this one is the budapesta restaurant also on republicii street . this location makes everything more expensive than the rest . never been inside but i want to . they serve hungarian (duh!) and romanian cuisine and i heard from a friend that it was not bad . but things (and chefs) change .

deane's

saturday night out .

here , deane's pub on republicii street .

full house , not bad atmosphere , live music (the vocal of the band was sick so it was more funny than fun) altogether not bad . maybe next time it's gonna be better and i will even try to eat something "irish" ... hehehe

more statues on top

ok , this one is different . no protection . beauty . the house is on republicii street and the top part is fantastic . it would be even better with some renovation .

statue on top

it would be nice to live in a house like this and have a soldier/knight/warrior/whatever on top to protect you ... hehehe

bnr

and another classic . 19th century big house in the old council square . now is the branch of the romanian national bank .

style

this one is more like romanian style architecture villa . on nicolae iorga street .

the modarom building

one of the most well known buildings in brasov , a place for seting up meetings . it's at the end of republicii street on the site where years ago there was a beautiful villa which after an addition of a new wing became a hotel but it was partially destroyed in ww2 and later was demolished .

this building was the fashion centre of the city (moda = fashion) but now is an office building with a bank at the first floors and a local tv station at the top floor .
