The dreams and aspirations of the 1930s Bucharest dwellers embodied in the Art Deco ocean liner theme of their apartment blocks, now left derelict and misunderstood by their uncouth post-communist descendants, a measure of what communism and corrupt post-communist transition can do for you. #ardeco #oceanliner #oceanlinertheme #bucharest #architecturephotography #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca

Late Neo-Romanian style (its Art Deco phase) bay window. 1930s, Bucharest, Dorobanti area. #neoromanian #1930s #artdeco #baywindow #bucharest #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca

One of a very few instances of Moorish revival style architecture of Bucharest. Built in the 1900s, now is in a bad state of repair, unloved and ignored, as is typical of the post-communist inhabitants of Romani’a capital. Lahovary Sq area; partially panoramic photo. #moorishrevival #architecturephotography #architecturehistory #bucharest #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca

Stravopoleos church, the best preserved edifice of Bucharest in Wallachian style architecture (the Ottoman Christian baroque of the late 17th to the early 19th c in the Principality of Wallachia) - photographed yesterday noon. #stavropoleos #wallachian #wallachianstyle #wallachia #ottomanbaroque #ottomanarchitecture #bucharest #architecture #architecturephotography #architecturehistory #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca

A Little Paris style house built in the 1900s, in Plantelor area of Bucharest, which can be easily brought to its former glory through renovation/ restoration works by skilled craftsmen, builders and historic architecture consultants, all practically absent on the Romanian scene of period building projects. #littleparis #architecturephotography #renovationproject #bucharest #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca

The servant’s’ quarters of a Bucharest’s Little Paris style mansion of the La Belle Epoque period. The structure has an ample loft with many air vents for storing meat products in winter, before the era of the fridge. Mantuleasa quarter. #servantsquarters #littleparis #architecturephotography #bucharest #labelleepoque #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca

Fashion in late antiquity at about 75 miles away from what is now Bucharest: fresco in a 4th c tomb in the town of Silistra , the old Roman Durostorum, on the right bank of the Danube, in Bulgaria. Bucharest was in a region called then by the Romans as Terra Deserta, an empty space crisscrossed by barbarian horsemen. Not much has changed, as mentality goes, I can say. #lateantiquity #durostorum #silistra #romantomb #balkans #southeasteurope #casedeepoca

Cat encounter in Bucharest, a marker of the local identity. #cat #friendlycat #cats #bucharest #balkans #identity #southeasteurope #casedeepoca
