Tulips' Symphony - Pitesti

Bratianu high-school from across the street.

Photographing the photographer who was taking photos of flowers :P
The Art Gallery.
An interesting mix of tulips and painted rocks.
The Town Hall.
Ryan, Olive, Silviana and Cristinica.
Black tulips. Memories from my childhood. Pleasant ones.
Lil Bro playing it cool for a photo.
Ryan and Olive.
The statue of Nicolae Balcescu. We figured out because we recognized the face, as we could not understand the writing.
Tulips...Not my favorites, but I simply loved them this time.
The appeal court. Iulia (Olive) and Theo (Ryan) getting ready to take more photos.
Cris and Silviana, walking carelessly.
The County Library.
Photographing the photographer again.

Bored and sleepy. Selling pottery.
Cristinica had found a t-shirt she really wanted.
Antiques. I have no idea if genuine or not.

Artisans displaying their goods. This one is a bit bored.
Anyone need refreshing?
Waiting...
Tulips, the leading flower of the fair.
A horoscope themed fountain.
And a miniature river.
A restaurant in the shape of a boat. I've been told they have really tasty food here.
If you fell in love with the flowers, you could buy some to plant at home.
Flowers and light combined. I do love callas, especially white ones.

These flowers do indeed look like the heads of birds.

Flowers and light bulbs.
A miniature garden


And of course, roses of all colors...Just for me :)

Valley of the Kings

This Valley of the Kings has nothing to do with the real one. It is actually a cafe-bar with a very interesting location.
It's at the ground floor of one of the building of the Old Center of Bucharest. What is even more amazing is that when it's warm outside, they set their tables outside, in some sort of passage/hallway, something connected the building which are very close to each other.
Valley of the Kings offers Arabic coffee, water pipes and other treats of the sort. It is not the only one in the area, other such small bars have been opened on this small passage. It is actually delightful in the summer, as it is alway cool here. However, Vally of the Kings is the only one of some fame, so the whole area is referred to with that name.
Enjoy!
