THE HUSTLE & THE BUSTLE


Typically, the churches are seen in isolation, uncluttered by their surroundings, but this was too good to pass up. My FAVORITE place in Timisoara (Piata Unirii and the Catholic Church) ...it is surrounded by outdoor cafes, concert stages and people. This is a formidable church in the clutches of 21st century busyness. Posted by Picasa

NIGHT MOVES


These are the spires on the Serbian church, taken from a hazy distance. How cool is this! Posted by Picasa

UP & COMING


This contemporary spire sits atop an under construction orthodox cathederal just out of "downtown" Timisoara. Posted by Picasa

TRIO


A fantasic sky as the backdrop to this trio of spires. Posted by Picasa

PIATA MARIA


As this whole thing evolves, I find that "night shots" are so much cooler.... this is a classic one with "turkish" influence. This church is a small scale replica of a famous church in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul). Posted by Picasa

NIGHT IN PIATA TRIAN


This church was recently restored and is quite beautiful.... especially at night! Posted by Picasa

You gotta love the sytmmetry of it all. Posted by Picasa
