Description
The entrance in an old, middle age dating, house from downtown Sibiu (Hermannstadt), Transylvania. A city already mentionned in documents in 1191 as Cibinium and having a rich and interesting history. In the XV century - despite his large protection walls and towers - the Turks and even Vlad the Empaler, the model for Dracula, burnt down the city a few times. And Dracula, or Draculya as he signed himself some documents (still existing in the archives) lived a couple of years in Sibiu, after his marriage to the sister of Matei Corvin, the same King of Hungary (half Romanian) who kept him prisoner for a decade or so...
As for myself, little me, I lived in that gorgeos city for 43 years...Memories and nostalgia are stirred up by this image...

Wonderful image, Ion. Your sense of distance and depth is excellent, as my eyes are drawn through the entrance, across the cobblestones to the other side. It is obviously an aged and weathered building that has served man for years. Thank you so much for your detailed and so interesting description. It just added to my enjoyment of your fantastic work. Congratulations on your group features, they are so well deserved!
