Small Square at Night

Here are some photos of the Small Square at night covered by a thin layer of snow. Upon exiting the alleyway arcades one can see the following:

On the left side there is a parking lot where a lot of cars are parked. As you can see there is also a terrace which is put together and waiting for summertime to arrive and come back to life once again.

Sibiu Small Square

Right in front of them there is the Liars' Bridge which is lightened in the night.

On the right side, this is what can be seen. A white snow blanket covering the benches used by people to catch their breath o a hot summer day. The lamp posts are inline and making everything stand out.

This picture was taken while being on the layer of snow shown in the previous photo and facing the Council Tower.

And, of course, the omnipresent Liars' Bridge. The snow didn't fade out its beauty.

The astounding Small Square does not fail in exposing its charm and beauty as usual. Night time is no exception.

The Statue of Gheorghe Lazar

There is a statue in the Big Square and this statue is of Gheorghe Lazar who stands imposingly and overlooking the square charming everyone with its sobriety. The ever present snow layer during this time of year is what provides a contrast as usual to everything of a different colour.

Fountain in the Winter

Here are some photos of the fountain from the city centre. It is a strong contrast between how it looks like in summertime being surrounded by people who want to drink its water or just lay around catching their breath after a long walk through the old city and it deserted state during wintertime when the people are being replaced by the snow layer trying to cover it all up like a blanked providing rest after the strong agitation season that passed not so long time ago and that is going to return and which has to be welcomed with open arms.

Lamp Posts in the Night

What can light and brighten the Big Square at night? Well, the lampposts shining brightly in the darkened night sky making them pop put even more. Snow is not an exception here as well. It represents the white layer that hides any imperfection portraying a somewhat purgative and cleansed city center.

Winter Scene 6

Wintery Bruckenthal Museum

This wintery photo shows how the Bruckenthal Museum is trying to withstand winter next to the all imposing City Hall on the right. You can see just a glimpse of the sun rays on the left and the Romanian flag next to the European Union flag on the right on the City Hall building. In between the Bruckenthal Museum and the City Hall you can see a house roof top window which resembles an eye and which gives the impression that it kinda steals a glance at what is happening in the Big Square.

Big Square

A photo taken right from the middle of the Big Square facing the German Cultural Centre and the fountain. You can see the snow starting to fall from the roof tops of the houses. In spite of the freezing cold, there were a lot of people walking on the snow paths and skating on the small ice ring situated right in the Big Square. You can see a girl going towards it in the photo. The perfect sky makes everything stand out lot better.

Winter Scene 4

Big Square

The sun shines away in the wintery scene, brightening up the lingering snow and the beautiful buildings of the Big Square. The light post which stands against the perfect sky lets you see all its details as well as the two light bulbs waiting for the night to come and take on the duty of the sun.

Big Square in Winter Time

Here is another amazing photo of Sibiu, i.e. the Big Square, covered in snow. Once again, a perfect sky and snow falling from the roofs of the houses.
Isn't it a beautiful scenery?

Winter Scene 2

Winter Scene

Here is another wintery photo with the centre of Sibiu, i.e. the Big Square. The snow on the roof tops of the houses has started to melt  in spite of the freezing cold that has come upon the city over the last few days. At present, there are minus 8 degrees Celsius and this morning there were minus 20 degrees. It seems that winter trully returned from far away lands and brought upon us an amazing scenery. This is to the happiness of children who now can go sledging, snowball fighting, ice skating, skiing, etc.
A beautiful sight to the eyes...

Winter Scene 1

Since winter indeed came in Sibiu and it snowed a lot over the past few days, this post is going to start a series of posts containing some photos of Sibiu Centre covered in snow. A wonderful sight to the eyes so to say. Enjoy!

Big Square (Piata Mare)

The above photo portrays some of the Big Square houses covered in snow. In the middle of the photo there are two roads in the form of an X which marks the centre. The attic windows of the second house from the right look like eyes that are following your every move. The snow gives them a special flavour so as to the rest of the scenery. The sky is of the finest blues...
