Monastirea Corbii de Piatra

Monastirea Corbii de Piatra apare in documente, de la reinfiintarea ei in 1512 cu aceasta denumire.

Este o bisericuta ortodoxa care impreuna cu inca doua lacasuri rupestre, de la Namaiesti si Cetatuia ofera o priveliste diferita vizitatorilor.

Vienna in late autumn

When i say Vienna..i think of good beer, delicious sweets and wonderful gardens. I didn't post pics with the beer and sweets, but you will find plenty with the gardens.

In balon

Astazi am avut parte o plimbare matinala foarte frumoasa. Pentru amatori, trebuie sa stiti ca zborurile incep in jur de 6:30 dimineata undeva in apropierea Bucurestiului sau daca sunteti norocosi dupamasa inainte de apus.
Zborul este ca si cum ai pluti intr-un norisor peste campii, sate, lacuri si lanuri de culturi..
Senzatia zborului a fost multimea de caprioare care alergau vioaie pe sub balon.
Enjoy!

Venice

Author Herman Melville said in 1857, "I'd rather be in Venice on a rainy day than in any other capital on a fine one" and I would agree with him if i were in 1857 (when probably there were 10% of the visitors Venice has today). Other words are useless in describing Venice.

The most provocative piece of art from Peggy Guggenheim Collection made by the Italian Marino Marini.

Modern art: Big Bamboo by Mike&Doug Starn. Have never seen a crazier instalation.

The monumental bamboo structure, ultimately measuring 100 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 50 feet high, takes the form of a cresting wave that bridges realms of sculpture, architecture, and performance. Visitors can walk through it up to the top.
