Night Shade

"La Turn" Restaurant in the Big Square has some interesting terrace umbrellas in front of it. I always get the impression that they are upside down thing that makes them even more interesting. Being white as they are makes them stand out even more in the darkness of the night. Not only do they offer shade from the sun during the summertime but they also offer an interesting view in the wintertime.

"La Turn" Restaurant Terrace

The last photo shows one of the restaurant umbrellas on the right and the view of the Big Square in the middle. The statue of Gheorghe Lazar can also be seen in the background intertwining with the passers-by. The bright light in the background provides a good contrast to the tree skeletons that are waiting to be dressed in leaves once again during the spring. A wonderful view!

Lightened Arcade Alleyway

These lightened arcade alleyways make one be under the impression that he or she is going to enter a different dimension or state of being. Moreover, they provide an interesting sight that links the Big Square to the Little one. It is just like passing through a mysterious tunnel and wondering about what you will find on the other side, the light at the end of the tunnel.

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.

Evening Obscurity

This is right in front of the City Hall which can be seen in the back. There is a little bit of snow left on the ground just to remind us that it is still here and not leaving very soon. It is gathered in such a way as to create a path for the pedestrians' walk. It is in a competition with the lights lighting the City Hall, the buildings and the square. Guess which one wins?

Big Square by Night

Ever wondered how the Big Square looks at night? Well, I have a set of photos taken recently and which I am going to share with you. Night time and winter left overs. What a beautiful scenery! Enjoy!
