Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there’ Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there’s nothing you can’t do! 🌆 🎨 Check out my stories to see the original photo and my editing process! Doesn’t this hotel in Bucharest give such strong New York vibes? It’s because of its Art Deco style, that flourished in the Big Apple in the 20s and 30s (does anyone still say “Big Apple”?? 😂). Hotel Union in Bucharest’s city center was built in 1932. Happy Friday, everyone! Oh and Happy Birthday to... me! 😄 I’m turning 36 today 🥳🎂 #cronicaridigitali #bucuresti⁠⠀ #bucharest #discoverbucharest ⁠⠀ #wearebucharest⁠⠀ #experiencebucharest⁠⠀ #topbucharestphotos #romania #visitbucharest #TopRomaniaPhoto⁠⠀ #promovezromania ⁠⠀ #romaniainspo⁠⠀ #visitromania #pemeleaguriromânești⁠⠀ #romaniamagnifica #TopEuropePhoto⁠⠀ #architravel⁠⠀ #architectureporn⁠⠀ #architecturedose⁠⠀ #artdecoarchitecture #artdeco #arquitecturamx⁠⠀ #architecture_greatshots⁠⠀ #Wandeleurspark ⁠⠀ #theprettycities ⁠⠀ #mytinyatlas #abmtravelbug #thatsdarling⁠⠀ #TLPicks⁠⠀ #welltraveled
Baby’s very first urban exploration 🏘! Last Baby’s very first urban exploration 🏘! Last weekend we went for a stroll in the Primaverii neighborhood, the weather was lovely and we had a nice walk. Mara wasn’t very patient in her stroller, so we ended up carrying her (at almost 9 kg / 20 lbs it’s quite the fitness challenge 💪😂), but it was a good start 🎉 Behind us it’s Muzeul de Arta Recenta, built in 2018, I love the contemporary look and how it seems to be floating. Its concept is so interesting, we want to visit it once things get safer. Hope you had a great Easter weekend!🐰 We are Orthodox and will celebrate in about a month 🤗 #cronicaridigitali #bucuresti⁠⠀ #bucharest #discoverbucharest ⁠⠀ #bucharestjournal ⁠⠀ #experiencebucharest⁠⠀ #topbucharestphotos #romania #ig_romania⁠⠀ #TopRomaniaPhoto⁠⠀ #romaniainspo⁠⠀ #visitromania #fotografiez_romania #romaniamagnifica #TopEuropePhoto⁠⠀ #architravel⁠⠀ #architectureporn⁠⠀ #architecturedose⁠⠀ #arquitecturamx⁠⠀ #creative_architecture⁠⠀ #architecture_greatshots⁠⠀ #Wandeleurspark ⁠⠀ #theprettycities ⁠⠀ #mytinyatlas #abmtravelbug #thatsdarling⁠⠀ #darlingescapes⁠⠀ #theglobewanderer #TLPicks⁠⠀ #welltraveled
What a beauty! This is actually an appendix to the What a beauty! This is actually an appendix to the main building (that you can check in my stories), but I like it more because of its tower and the clear Neo-Romanian elements (the trilobate arches, the balcony -although closed with windows, ouch!-, the popular motifs). It was built in 1927 as a Tobacco Research Institute and during the communist regime was converted to a Food Reseach facility. In 1981 it was named ICA (Institutul de Chimie Alimentara). After the Revolution in 1989 it was eventually privatized and bought by a businessman for a fraction of the price. Since he was convicted for corruption, the building was seized by the government. And here it stands, all in ruin and waiting for something to happen with it... Its interior is glorious, you can see it in my stories, I shared a blog post from someone who managed to get in.... I can’t believe how beautiful it is! And yet again, nobody can enter to see it. 😢 Maybe @cronicaridigitali can manage to get ua access and organize a Heritage Instameet here ♥️ You know, this building is very close to where my parents live (and I lived for about 10 years), and I didn’t know about it. It’s on Strada Garlei 1 in Baneasa. I noticed it recently, read about it and went to shoot it last weekend. My mother even said our neighbors used to work there! Funny thing how beautiful objects suddenly appear before you when you’re present and pay attention 🥰 #cronicaridigitali #ZiDeRomania #bucuresti⁠⠀ #discoverbucharest ⁠⠀ #bucharestjournal ⁠⠀ #topbucharestphotos #romania #ig_romania⁠⠀ #TopRomaniaPhoto⁠⠀ #romaniainspo⁠⠀ #visitromania #fotografiez_romania #romaniamagnifica #TopEuropePhoto⁠⠀ #incredible_europe ⁠⠀ #architravel⁠⠀ #architecturedose⁠⠀ #creative_architecture⁠⠀ #architecture_greatshots⁠⠀ #neoromanian #neoromanesc #Wandeleurspark ⁠⠀ #theprettycities ⁠⠀ #mytinyatlas #abmtravelbug #thatsdarling⁠⠀ #darlingescapes⁠⠀ #theglobewanderer #TLPicks⁠⠀ #welltraveled
I loved this house from the minute I saw it! It’ I loved this house from the minute I saw it! It’s called Vila Filipescu Brancoveanu (Str Modrogan 1) and it’s a mix of turn-of-the-century eclecticism, Art Nouveau and Neo Romanian. The sumptuous mansion has a large garden, a building for the administrator, a stable (turned to garage), two pavilions and the doorman’s house. 🏰 It’s basically a mini-castle! It has a sad story though. It was built in 1915 by the Filipescu family and it was inherited by a cousin, Constantin Basarab Brancoveanu, who used to organize lavish parties here in the ‘20s and ‘30s. He eventually used it as a mortgage for some bank loans 💰, but couldn’t pay on time, so the City Hall took the house. It’s now a political party headquarters, they bought it from the state. And of course you can’t visit, you can’t even enter the garden. It’s hard to understand why political parties need to own such impressive buildings only for administrative purposes. Must be for the status. But it feels like they confiscated this beautiful, full of history mansion, which we should have the right to visit and admire. Do you have buildings in your hometown that you’d love to visit but it’s not possible? #cronicaridigitali #bucuresti⁠⠀ #discoverbucharest ⁠⠀ #wearebucharest⁠⠀ #bucharestjournal ⁠⠀ #experiencebucharest⁠⠀ #topbucharestphotos #romania #ig_romania⁠⠀ #TopRomaniaPhoto⁠⠀ #promovezromania ⁠⠀ #romaniainspo⁠⠀ #visitromania #pemeleaguriromânești⁠⠀ #romaniapitoreasca #fotografiez_romania #romaniamagnifica #TopEuropePhoto⁠⠀ #incredible_europe ⁠⠀ #architravel⁠⠀ #architecturedose⁠⠀ #arquitecturamx⁠⠀ #creative_architecture⁠⠀ #architecture_greatshots⁠⠀ #Wandeleurspark ⁠⠀ #theprettycities ⁠⠀ #thatsdarling⁠⠀ #darlingescapes⁠⠀ #TLPicks⁠⠀ #welltraveled

Do you ever get reposted by feature accounts? What Do you ever get reposted by feature accounts? What do you think of them? We all use their tags and hashtags, hoping they’ll share some divine grace and repost our shots, but in the end, what’s in it for us? @all_about_rosalilla talked about this some time ago and got me thinking. They grow a huge audience without producing any content, all based on our work. And in theory we get “exposure”. But practically we get nothing! People don’t care who’s shot it is, they rarely check the creator’s profile. I’ve been reposted many times, a few times by huge accounts, and I never saw my follower numbers grow. My biggets reposts are (check them in my stories) @travelandleisure bridge on the Amalfi Coast 45k likes @architectanddesign Casa Comalat in Barcelona 28k likes @travelandleisure Alhambra door 25k likes @sheisnotlost Amalfi balcony 6k likes (not as many likes, but omg, I was so proud I got featured 😄) These are some huge numbers, but they didn’t help me at all. So why do I keep using their tags and hashtags?! Heaven knows 😂😂 What do you think? Do you use hashtags hoping to get featured? Did you see your account grow when you got featured? #italiainunoscatto #ig_italia #italia_dev #italytravel #italy_vacations #italytrip #buongiornoroma #roma #rome #inrhome #Romecityworld #vivoroma #romamia #Flashesofdelight #MyTinyAtlas #theprettycities #ABMtravelbug #welltravelled #pursuepretty #Wandeleurspark #petitejoys #TLPicks #theglobewanderer #darlingescapes #dametraveler #wearetravelgirls #sheisnotlost #femmetravel #travelgirlsgo #girlsthatwander
Happy belated Women’s day to all my ladies out t Happy belated Women’s day to all my ladies out there. ♥️ My gift to you is an amazing Ted Talk by Reshma Saujani, I’ll put a link in my stories. It’s titled “Teach girls bravery, not perfection”. We as a society teach girls to be perfect. And they're afraid to come out in the open if they are not. Most girls are taught to avoid risking failure, to smile pretty, don’t get dirt on their clothes 👗, play it safe. Boys on the other hand are taught to play rough, swing high, climb to the top of the monkey bars and jump straight in their head. By the time they’re adults they are used to take risks. They’re rewarded for it. It's shocking to hear examples as these. If their code isn't working, boys say "there's something wrong with my code", instead girls say "there's something wrong with me". Or when applying for a job, men seek to fit within 60% of the job requirements. Women don't apply if they don't fit 100%! 😢 Girls grow up learning to be perfect. Boys grow up learning to take challenges. It's time for this to change! 💪 I feel a huge responsibility to teach my daughter to be independent, brave, have confidence, high self esteem and not be afraid to fail. It’s not going to be easy, since I am still learning myself. Happy brave and amazing Women’s Day! 💖💪 #momostaircase #italiainunoscatto #ig_italia #italia_dev #italytravel #buongiornoroma #inrhome #romeitaly #Romecityworld #Flashesofdelight #MyTinyAtlas #theprettycities #travelstoke #wonderful_places #ABMtravelbug #welltravelled #thatsdarling #pursuepretty #Wandeleurspark #TLPicks #theglobewanderer #darlingescapes #travelwithfathom #abmlifeiscolorful #architecture_hunter #architecturedose #architecturephoto #romearchitecture
