Brasov Old City, a photo from Brasov, Est

Photographer's Note

Brașov (Romanian pronunciation:German: Kronstadt; Hungarian: Brassó; Medieval Latin: Brassovia or Corona; 1950–1960: Oraşul Stalin) is a city in Romania and the capital of Braşov County.Braşov is located in the central part of the country, about 166 km north of Bucharest. It is surrounded by the Southern Carpathians and is part of the Transylvania region.The city is notable for being the birthplace of the national anthem of Romania and for hosting the Golden Stag International Music Festival.The oldest traces of human activity and settlements in Braşov date back to the Neolithic age (about 9500 BCE). Archaeologists working from the last half of the 19th century discovered continuous traces of human settlements in areas situated in Braşov: Valea Cetăţii, Pietrele lui Solomon, Şprenghi, Tâmpa, Dealul Melcilor, and Noua. The first three locations shows traces of Dacian citadels; Şprenghi Hill housed a Roman-style construction. The last two locations had their names applied to Bronze Age cultures—Schneckenberg and Noua. (Source Wikipedia)

Hello Ionut,
A great view of this fine city. I was here last year and enjoyed myself on the ground, but I didn't get this view. It's very interesting to watch all the fine buildings and their characteristic roofs. The inspection is made easier by the fine sharpness and contrasts.
Regards,
Gert

Hello.

This is an interesting image, and stood out a bit from the rest of the thumbnails I could see. It's a good choice to have it in B&W, and the sharpness seem perfect. Another thing is the POV. How did you get it??? However, you've done a good job. It looks like a nice town.

Best regards,
Fredrik

Hello Ionut,

I believe that sometimes colors distract the mind from the main message of the photo. As a black and white photos lover, I really like the B&W tones of this shot. Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
Abbas
