What I love about Romania : A photogenic country

1 May 2013 · Updated 12 August 2026 · 2 min read

I have now been to Romania 13 times since September 2011. Or 14 times if I include the first time in 1985. What strikes me again and again is that Romania is a photogenic country in many ways. It's a photographer's paradise. Young people are beautiful with gorgeous features. Elderly people show beauty from endurance and hard work, love to their family and eternal souls. Romanian cities are dynamic, often with the blend of historical buildings and modern houses. Many cities are eclectic, vibrant and passionate. The countryside is often breathtakingly beautiful. Romania is very colorful. It is a country with contrasts. Old and new. Traditions and modern lifestyle blend and mix in a good, but crazy way. Food and wine culture are omnipresent. People also like to talk about food and drink. There are personalities and character in every direction you turn. If I was a film director I would go out in the street every day and become inspired. Here are some of the pictures I have taken so far. Many are from Bucharest, as that is where I reside when I am in Romania. I hope I will be able to travel a bit more in the future. And definitely with my camera. The University of Bucharest, down town Bucharest. Calea Victoriei, one of the most important boulevards in Bucharest.
