Bucharest on FishEye

January 2019 · 3 min read · Bucharest

Hello, friends!

I've been going through my memories of Bucharest city, Romania's capital, which I have visited twice so far... And I have to admit some things would have been forgotten but for photographs. Good we have this new miracle of science, right?

What I have selected to show you is a bit different than the usual way things look. It's pretty distorted, actually. But also wide angle. Yup, a fish eyed tour through the center of Bucharest and then - the ethnographic museum. Which is a whole album of mine in its own right.

Now, the central part will not be what you would normally see, I think...

Looking up, often... and being lazy to switch lenses. Alright, as you will see, the case was unusual for me. That is, I was not there to take photos in the first place and I had to hurry through the city most of the time. Well, relatively, so that I was more the snapshot kind of tourist... But with the eyes of a fish ;)

Now, during that trip I must confess I almost had no time to take photos. I was with a friend of mine and we were on a mission that took most of our day whole day of stay. We had come for a Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour Qualifier tournament, or PTQ. The last of its kind since after that Wizards of the Coast changed the format into Preliminary PTQs which lead to Regionals... Anyway, I did fail miserably during all of the initial seven rounds, winning a game in every match but no whole match except for one. My friend was more successful and he almost made it into the playoffs... but not quite. Well, we had two nights so we had some time to walk around the city, after all.

It was mid February and the weather was not cold and bad... some sun came through the clouds from time to time, but mostly it was cloudy and grey, as you can see. Less colors during that visit.

On the day before our departure, however, it was better, more sunny and we visited the ethnographic or Village Museum we had seen on some city map for tourists.

And that was interesting, because it was a collection of architectural styles from all around the country. Needless to say, those were very different from our home country of Bulgaria, even though we are neighbors to the South (of Romania).

We were even greeted by a surprise group of Bulgarian kukeri in the Village museum:

The rest, as they say, is history ;)
