meaw

we found this little guy in a monastery on the top of the mountain. very friendly and soft.

some more salt

this is what is left of the salt mountain in Slanic Prahova, in Romania, Prahova county, somewhere 50 km or so from the industrial city of Ploiesti (famous for its oil fields and refineries).

the Levantine lounge

we had a small dinner party here, with friends... i really liked the place.

more from Sunday

almost in bloom

time and times

so rare to see one of those shops these days.

old times of Ploiesti

i got very much into old houses these days, especially thanks to seesaw and the other people taking photos of caryatids. i realized that there are lots to be discovered in this romanian province city. plenty of time to do that today, herr s. is again in a business trip (eh... hate the weekends without him, hate the time in general without him...). but i am really satisfied with today, let's take a look at what i've got. oh, i still have to complain about the people parking their vans in front of exquisite old buildings, so the wannabe photographer couldn't do her job properly...
and one more thing: i wonder why people don't realize what beautiful buildings they've got, and let them in ruin...

Lottery

Old lottery bilboards. By some miracle, they still exist in front of an agency in Ploiesti. But again, in bad shape.

the house

what a pity this house is in such a bad shape...

for Seesaw

for Seesaw, in Sarajevo, from me, in Ploiesti.

2nd class train tickets

I have always liked better the 2nd class. It is there that you can meet the most interesting people, hear the most interesting conversations...

train travelling

V. is leaving Romania. We hurried to his party, after a long work day. The decision to go by train to Bucharest was a wise one... I had fun with the camera in the meantime :).
