Grey day

“Spring, summer, and fall fill us with hope;

Winter alone reminds us of the human condition.”

Mignon McLaughlin

The Holidays are over.........

Another cold grey day begins.....

But enjoy even a grey day for the surrealism and cold

For the persons which not experienced this kind of cold

before.

Blessings be with you

This little one is the angel which gave the hope to another special family :)

oOoO0Oo....

I liked that assembly of circles...small ones and bigger some of them ...and looking that woman sitting there with her child,listening the relaxant music,immediately I regreted that I didn't come there with my son too

B&W rest

I know, quite unusual to post a b&w picture from this incredible place - Luminarium - but I liked the different tones of b&w here .I will post the color version as WS too
I would like to lie there and relax :)

Cars...

DON'T LAUGH!!!
My dear friends,many of you will start to laugh looking my pic....but if you do this means that you or didn't see the famous animated movie CARS or .....you aren't parents of a boy :)
Because my son did such a passion for that movie and for those cars and where I go ..visiting any place on earth ...I must try to find another car for his collection!My sister from Iceland calls my son every week to say to him how many another pieces for his collection she bought !!!!
And more....WE MUST PLAY with the cars every day,every free moment,not enough to let him alone to play ....we must be part of his game ....In that evening I tried to do something different...playing with him and shooting pics too
For more informations about the movie look here!!!But don't show to your kids ....keep the silence,otherwise you will be like me soon :)))))
And as you can imagine there in background is my son waiting me to finish my "job" and re-start to play with caaaaaarrrrssss.......
Thanks Alex for idea

Dreaming...

.winter and snow!!!See,for many of you,this image could mean nothing important,for me it was a special moment,because I love snow and being there on the mountain walking in snow and seeing the sun rays playing with the the shadows on snow...all these made me very happy!
And more,I had near me my friends Teo and Iulian and my sister
Also I would like to dedicate this to my sister Anes and to Jean

White night

I was able to catch for the first time the moon,even if I know that the image is not great,but finally I had good lens...
I love the moon and I will try to shoot once the full moon :)

...Whirling dervishes ...

The practice of Sufi whirling (or Sufi spinning), (Arabic: رقص سماع) is a twirling meditation that originated among the Turkish Sufis, which is still practiced by the Dervishes of the Mevlevi order. It is a symbolic ritual through which dervishes (also called semazens) aim to reach the "perfect" (kemal). They try to desert their nefs', egos or personal [bad] desires by listening [to their master and sufi music], thinking [about God] and whirling which resembles the rotation of other beings such as electrons and planets of the micro- and macrocosmos.

A stolen kiss

My sister, my friend Lucian and me walking in Cismigiu Park in Bucharest
Near a playground watching kids playing
A stolen moment ...That was a beautiful spontaneous moment....I enjoyed .... The essence of a stolen kiss, so innocent so sweet... If we learn to watch for them, life provides us with endless opportunities to steal moments of joy.

Taken with my sister's camera,Canon EOS 400 :)..I still dont know how to work with it...so ...sorry for quality

FAITH

The christening ceremony...a very important moment for each of us as Christians...
When a child is christened, s/he is welcomed into the household of God .....It is the start of a journey
And the parents and godparents of that child are witnesses and pray for the child....
Peace and faith be with you,little child
This picture was taken in that day when we - TE romanian members - had our nice meeting....

Blue sky

This photograph was taken two weeks ago. The lanscape is magnificent.Many times in the winter it glows with the sun on the snow producing an alpen glow . There are several ski resorts in this mountain range...
There you can try your ski skills ...from gentle beginner slopes to expert mogul runs..come and see :)

Divine light

The light within an endless darkness,
You are what gives me hope when there is none,
You are my torch in the darkest of nights,
With you never can I lose my sight....

Glacial lake

Balea Lake is situated at an altitude of 2034 meters. It has an aria of 0,46 square kilometers and it has a maximum depth of 11 meters. Surrounding the lake a reservation was settled.
The Transfagarasan road is located in the vicinity of Balea Lake.
The Balea Lake Challet is situated on the lakeside.

Winter view

Before New Year Eve party,I tried to come back from the top of the mountain in town to call my dear friends and my family,but I wasn't so lucky,maybe they were busy preparing the party :)This tree standing out and so frozen I liked it a lot and I was happy to catch it before the fog came covering all !!!
Now,in this simple way with a winter picture I wish you to you all ....
A HAPPY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR, FULL OF LOVE AND HAPPINESS

Ho ho ho.....Meeerrry Christmas !!!

Loook,look there!!!

Isn't there your father???Told you,don't cry and he will come!!
The faithful toy seems to whisper to the boy these words because immediately the boy stopped to cry :)
Met the boy and his mother in an indoor playground today where I was with my son and this little angel had with him all the time this colorful toy :)

How close can you get ?

A photographer....me...In a park in Bucharest, I spy a face I know my camera will love. It belongs to a beautiful young lady with the same hobby as me....photos :)
I want to get a portrait,her portrait... I politely ask permission....
"Oh, me? Sure,but why me..."Because you are a great subject,your face is beautiful and your smile
...For portraits it is best to get in close. Here the tight framing shows her passion for photography too
For Teo,friends know why ;)

Take my hand....

..and don't be afraid,I am here by your side!I know your fear of water but forget all,when I'm here,my dear !One step, two steps,three steps....walk with me ...100 steps, 1000 steps, more and more .....
And she is following him because there is so much love,and sea is not anymore an enemy,only their friend,like a godmother in their marriage ....
Dedication to someone very dear in my life

Winter rhapsody

One million crystals of the snowflakes,
one single thought, a thought of missing someone to sit here with me on the bench ...
Hide frozen life still there,ice silence and ice touch
But I feel my heart is warm...

Romanian Woman

My generation of women-not only romanian-is called the unmanageable ones because we are working mothers who are trying our best to be independent....to raise our voices and inspire to leadership!!!But still we need our men....

I DEDICATE THIS TO ALL THE GREAT VISIONARIES,who believed their visions would change this worlds life.

I have a dream

...not my son,only my hope for the future,and God knows maybe soon in 2008
A health,a wealth,peace,hope and the best that life can give to you....HAPPY NEW YEAR

I Have A Dream
ABBA

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

Balea Lake

The whole beauty of this wild place Balea Lake

Sunrise

Every sunrise is a present,a new beginning, a time to start anew,...every day is a new creation, too lovely to ignore,every sunrise is a gift for just today.
Rejoice, my friends, embrace it before it fades away!
Have a nice weekend

The Liar's Bridge

Liar's Bridge - Constructed in 1859, first named The Iron Bridge, was later nicknamed The Liar's Bridge.
Legend has it that if a person tells a lie while standing on it, the iron structure will collapse

Shadows in autumn

Colors, colors everywhere,autumn dreams are in the air,on earth...everywhere...like to see around me a kaleidoscope of leaves whirling down to earth
Ghosts and shadows having fun there in forest
Light creates stars everywhere...
Reflection of the sun glitters and attracts my eyes

First friends...

...are coming from our dreams?They are so friendly,careful and colorful ...Sweet dreams!

...Romanian village...

Romania is a fascinating place where medieval life meets modern times. While visiting, we'll discover a land with majestic, natural beauty...a rich cultural heritage... and a history still alive in and sometimes haunting the present.... simplicity and beauty,isn't it?

Candid look

This photo was taken in January 2005 in a newkids club in Bucharest....
I love her eyes and her look.. :)
I wish someday to have a beautiful child like this!! I will pray to meet this little girl after many years to see again these beautiful blue eyes…

Changes made: Increased contrast,converted in b&w(I like very much Lucian's workshop )and a simple white frame :)

Funny expression

Sometimes a funny expression as this can say more than one hundred words,and her face is so sweeeet....


Sometimes a funny expression as this can say more than one hundred words,and her face is so sweeeet....

I've met her again after a long time somewhere near my factory today...she was walking near a wall near a garden... trying to filch a rose .....
A picture to make you all smile and maybe laugh

The noise was added because it accentuates her expression.

An angel sleeping

Sleep well dear angel
this won't be less than perfect
All your dreams can come true.....
I'll not sleep near you, I'm just resting my eyes on your face
When you wake I'll be there
I will watch over you….

Scene from park, yesterday, where I was sitting near two happy parents….and the little one was sleeping in her baby-carriage
