I couldn’t decide which photo from last year I like best so I picked the one that proved to be the most popular, meaning the one who got the most comments. It represents Bucharest’s Old Town (Historic Quarter) on a late November night. With the summer terraces gone, the streets in the Old Center look deserted, even though many of the cafes lining the streets are full until late at night. The photo shows Franceză Street on a Thursday around midnight.
There's an air of mystery in this photo. Calm and peaceful, too. The row of lights gives the photo a special quality.
Beautiful picture
haha, agree, you've got lots of good fotos, but this one is also one of my faves. ^0^
I remember this….. and it is still a very very good shot!
I can see why this one got a lot of comments; it's eerily beautiful. And it certainly looks deserted. But you've captured well that late night ambiance – I especially like the street lights. The photo is perfectly exposed and is tack sharp. Super job!
