Sibiu - Romania's Orthodox Cathedral
Built between 1902 – 1906 in a similar style with the Saint Sofia
Cathedral from Istanbul.
On this place was a Greek Church built in 1778.
The architects were Virgil Nagy and Iosif Kamner from Budapest.
Fresco paintings were made by Octavian Smigelschi and Arthur Coulin.
The interior is dominated by a massive gold chandelier, about which
swirl wisp of incense and neo Byzantine decorations.
At the entrance a massive carved door that bears a German insignia.
This is the second largest Orthodox Cathedral in Romania.

Behind you can see "Suru" peak, part of Fagaras Mauntains, the highest mountains in Romania

I once climbed Suru. What a trip that was. Your photos are making me homesick for Romania even though I'm American ;)
This is a breathtaking shot.

Salutare!Am vazut fotografia aceasta si pe site-ul unei pensiuni belascu.ro/ Poate tragi putin cu ochiul sa nu fie cumva furata!

Mersi, ce sa-i faci, unii uita sa citeasca tipul de licenta, adica sa dea linkul de unde a luat-o (in caz ca nu-mi cere voie) in rest poate sa o foloseasca. Eu ma bucur ca face cunoscut Sibiul si Romania pana la urma.
olahus (23 months ago | reply)
Bun, si ce parere ai despre cei care au si tupeul sa puna watermark cu site-ul lor pe ea?
www.turismromania.info/share/img/gallery/867c 36e162ff7dea...
sau ai cumva acord cu ei? Daca nu, nu am cuvinte pentru ce au putut sa faca (desi licenta le permite, dar nu e moral nici numele tau sa nu il dea si sa mai puna si adresa lor)
olahus (23 months ago | reply)
One of the most "stolen" photos from Sibiu (published without attribution). The best works of art get either stolen or plagiarized...
CamilG (23 months ago | reply)
Nu am nici un acord, le voi scrie un mail.
olahus (23 months ago | reply)
Ma bucur, bafta multa.
Pana una alta, am vazut ca au sters toate comentariile in care le atrageam atentia ca ti-au luat pozele fara sa te citeze, si m-au dat afara de pe grupul lor. Sper sa aiba mai putin tupeu fata de tine.
olahus (23 months ago | reply)
ma refer la grupul lor de Facebook, unde au postat fotografii de tine "in draci".

Eu am lasat aceste fotografii cu licenta commons creative
adica cu drepturile din:
creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en
Deci ei au dreptul sa le publice atat timp cat spun sursa lor ( de exemplu adresa de flickr) . Nu au dreptul sa-si puna ei copyright firma lor sau pe altcineva pe ele.
Pe facebook nu au pus sursa, insa macar nu au vreun watermark pe ele ca sa arate ca sunt facute de altcineva.
Ma bucur ca macar pozele astea fac cunoscuta Romania.

Very beautiful picture. I would love it to be included, with your permission, in a photo project called "1000 THOUSAND IMAGES PHOTOGRAPHERS. Thank you very much for your answer. This project is personal and the idea is to capture in a book a thousand photographs from different photographers around the world. Thank you very much for your response.
The project itself is to edit a book of photographs: "1000 1000 photographers images." The selection of the images I do searching and searching, as the portal and its images will become endless. What I am looking specifically at the pictures, they convey something, they are dynamic, different parts of the world and then ask for permission to available image. Soon I will open a page to expand the information about the project and I will be reporting. A hug ... ... ... .... Ancorcolombia
