I live on the outskirts of a big city and often walk to the center. The suburbs are boring, city life pulsates especially in the centre.
Walking downtown means two things to me. Coffee and photography. Coffee at the cafe and photography on the street. I like to photograph on the street, I like to photograph passers-by and buildings—ancient ones.
It's summer days in Bucharest now. A much too early summer, a summer that came two months early, to everyone's joy. On weekends the city is invaded by people walking and looking for places to relax and have fun...
Looking at the people on the street you think it's summer, and yet, it's only mid-April, i.e. spring has just started!
This summer too early is not a good thing and may herald two things. Either a summer that will be hot or a return to early spring cold before too long. These were the concerns I had around a cup of coffee...
Coffee and rest are nice but the street is more interesting.
Victory Avenue is my favorite boulevard in Bucharest. I chose a few photos taken mostly of buildings. Because it is the avenue with most old buildings, which were built at the beginning of the 20th century. What is old seems to go better with black and white.
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge.
