Description
This town was one of 7 fortified cities in Transylvania, dating from the 14/16thc by the Germans. The Saxon and Magyar craft guilds erected the towers around the city walls to protect it from Turkish raids. The church dates from 2nd half of 14thc.
This was a beautiful town, worth a day or two for discovering ..we had no such time. It is a town I'd love to revisit.

Cool capture of what could easily be misinterpreted as an alley in Italy. And, is that laundry drying on clothes lines in the back? As for the towers being built for protection against Turkish raids, me thinks, that being Transylvania, they were instead built to protect the public from Vampires, i.e., the undead.
beautiful "old world" architecture and superb capture
Marvelous place my friend, spectacular capture, lovely work!
Beautiful!!
i love it, excellent photo capture, would love to visit that myself!:)*5
wonderful shot of this history town.
Wonderful light in this perfect composition, Jean.
This is a lovely capture of this very old place Jean.
Seems to be built in old precious time!
I love slight warping that time has wrought in the houses; such a beautiful town!
Romania...ah...one of the northern reaches of the Balkans...one of those areas where they're never...ever...in a zillion years going to forget anything even vaguely related to the dreaded Ottomans/Turks. And what a place! I love the look of this shot, the European feeling this has. It's funny how most places in the world are actually just collections of small towns and big cities are just big small towns. I noticed that especially in Prague. It has something to do with the way humans naturally clump together and fall into a particular pattern that's almost fractal in nature. I love the scale of everything in this photo and glimpses into the ancient mindset that determined the layout of this place. You can see the fear of those dreaded Turks in the architecture. It's seeing history, and I love that, especially when you're able to walk up and touch that history, only to realize that, conceptually, it simply feels like slightly worn stone, smeared and smeared with zillions of other people's fingerprints. This is brilliant.
marvelous picture
