Photographer's Note
The Cathedral of the Ascension of the Lord, Orthodox is the largest religious building in Târgu Mureș, the cathedral is dedicated to the "Ascension of the Lord". The cathedral was built in the center of the city (now the Plaza de las Rosas) between 1925 and 1934 on the initiative of Archpriest Stefan Rusu, on the site of Péter Bodor's Singing Fountain.
The first stone was laid on May 10, 1925. Among the participants in the event were the Minister of Cults, Alexandru Lapedatu, Bishop Nicolae Ivan and Octavian Goga as ministers. The consecration of the cathedral took place on December 2, 1934, being also a symbol that signifies the entry of the Romanian armies into the municipality of Târgu Mureș in 1918.
The church was built according to the plans of the architect Victor Vlad of the Polytechnic of Timișoara, in the shape of a Greek cross, with equal arms. The construction of the iconostasis was carried out in 1934 by Traian Bobletec de Nazna and painted by the painter Virgil Simonescu de Lugoj.
Due to lack of funds, the painting was completed between 1970 and 1986.
The narthex walls feature images of the 17th century Transylvanian metropolitan saints, Ilie Iorest and Sava Brancovici, framed by 12 medallions containing the images of the most important Transylvanian Orthodox churches.
The central dome has a stained glass window that represents Christ blessing.
The altar has an impressive 12.30 m high mosaic apse that represents the Mother of God with the Child.
The cathedral bells were processed in Timisoara.
The total cost of the building was estimated at 20 million lei in the interwar period.

as duas igrejas parecem ter formas diferentes e interessantes. muito bom enquadramento com a estátua equestre em evidência e as duas igrejas ao fundo. as cúpulas verdes da igreja da direita parecem dois frascos antigos.
eu também estou ansioso para viajar depois de dois anos preso.
um abraço

Ciao Luis. ¡Bienvenido de nuevo! Esperaba ver algunas fotos nuevas de su recorrido por Andalucía y Galicia, pero es posible que aún no haya tenido tiempo de ordenarlo. Sin embargo, este souvenir rumano también es muy bonito, muy interesante en una captura de alta calidad. ¡Que tengas un buen domingo! Luciano

Hola Luis,
this is such a beautiful spot. I like it very much.
You have thought through the composition very well. The monument is placed perfectly between the two churches. You chose also a great distance.
The weather was amazing and it helped to get out the best out of the colors, we see the colorful flag there but also the lady photographer wears a nice sweater.
Excellent quality work.
I am glad that you are back, I am worried now seeing people disappear.

Hello Luis,
I admit I don't know Târgu Mureș. I looked it up on the map and saw it's located not very far from Sighișoara. But I haven't visited TM.
You've placed the equestrian statue nicely between the cathedral and the church. Very nice composition.
The different trees, the blue sky and the large Romanian flag make this a colourful picture. Not to mention the photographer's purple shirt, of course.
The small park with only a few visitors provides a calming foreground.
So you went to Almuñecar. A few years ago I spent a few days in neighbouring Salobreña. A smaller but very charming place at the Costa Tropical.
Best regards, Paul

Hola Luis & welcome back!
A lady in pink is almost as good in the composition as a lady in red! Good sharpness, colour, lighting and saturation. One of the few towns in Romania I have not yet visited. Tfs!

Have a nice sunday,

Hello Luis,
This is a very well composed photo and you were also favoured by perfect weather. The two churches are neatly seen on each side of the statue. The green domes to the right and the lady with the pink shirt are bright elements that balance each other well diagonally. The Romanian flag on the Cathedral is another colourful eye-catcher.
Best regards,
Gert

Hola Luis,
How good to see you back!
I'm so glad to hear that you have had a very enjoyable, relaxing holiday. It's something that most of us have missed, not being able to travel far.
This is another first rate photograph from your trip to Romania. The details are crisp and interesting.
I like how you have included another photographer, strongly placed in the frame, her direction guiding us towards the nicely linked, vertical features of statue and religious buildings.
The weather was perfect for photography and you capitalised on it!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Luis,
A great photo with the two different churches on either side of the large statue. The light and colours were both perfect here and make for a very appealing view. The person in pink taking a photo is well included too.

Hi Luis
this is quite the place, so much to put inside the frame, so many subjects. Lots to see and investigate. you placed all the subjects perfectly, none of them are blocking the others, and the lighting/exposure is spot on. good one. Thanks for the informative note too. cheers

Hello Luis,
A beautifully composed photo showing two churches: an Orthodox cathedral and a Catholic church. An additional attraction is the monument to one of the most famous Transylvania lawyers who play important role in Austrian Empire Revolutions.
Great picture in perfect quality.
Best regards
