Hosman is one of the fortified churches in Transylvania close to Sibiu. These churches are very special to Transylvania. They started to emerge in the 13th century when Hungarian and German settlers tried to resist against Ottoman and Tatar invasions. These churches allowed the inhabitants to defend the village for a limited time without the need of permanent wall around the villages. This shot was taken last December.

Last September, end of of summer beginning of autumn I took this panoramic shot of the Romanian National Theater (full-screen here). Contrary to its title it hosts the actually the opera - with the theater being situated in another building. Also on this picture in the middle you can spot the Court of Cluj. These are among of my famous buildings in the city. If you have a close look you'll realize some imperfections which I intentionally left resulting in a more interesting picture. I also have this with an interactive flash panorama on my blog. I also have this with an interactive flash panorama on my blog.

Cluj has not too many green spots inside the city center so usually if people want to take a rest they rush over to the central park. Inside the Park there is a really interesting looking building which is abandoned right, now. Still 20 years after communism there are quite some abandoned buildings in Cluj (and Romania). Sometimes people do not have financial resources to renovate buildings or at least to conserve the current state but more often claims and property rights are still disputed. This occurred because after the revolution documents about property rights were destroyed or forged, allowing people with access to those documents to get rich at the expense of others.

Recently, I attended the wedding of friends in Rostock, Germany. For the party they choose an incredible nice site where you could see the city from the other side of its Warnow river right at a boat club. Right after dusk then all the lights began to sparkle on the lake.

Situated in the city centre this is a panoramic shot inside the Byzantine-style Orthodox Cathedral of Cluj. The Church was only erected and finished in 1930 and as usual for orthodox churches worshipers have to stand during mass.
