Photographing architectural features such as buildings, archways, and gates is something I enjoy doing when I travel. While in Bucharest I took over 300 photos, most of them of buildings.
Bucharest has some very old buildings and wonderful statues throughout the city. Yet, I did find it distracting that some of these glorious pieces of architecture often had advertising banners hanging off them. Those ads often kicked me from my thoughts of what the place was like in former decades to the more modern age. In addition businesses like Pizza Hut screamed America to me and not Romania. While these historical detractors exist in Bucharest, I avoided photographing them and focused on the ancient (by American standards), unique, and beautiful.
As I walked, rode a tour bus and in my friend's car, I often focused my camera, occasionaly with some nice results. Here are a few of those photos. The buildings I know the name of I labeled.
