🥈 Rediscovering a Very Small Street in Downtown Bucharest by @bluemoon

The reasons why the center calls me are various, most of the time because there are concentrated cultural institutions, theatres, concert halls, museums and also favourite terraces and cafés. Sometimes I miss certain parts of the city, the old town, with its buildings from the beginning of the last century. There are some buildings that I really like. For one of them I made what I can call here a journey, a journey into the past to see the Romanian Athenaeum, the emblematic building of Bucharest, the capital of Romania.

🥉 Fall in the Anichkov Palace Garden by @tatdt

This small garden near the Anichkov Palace on Nevsky Prospect I fell in love as a child. I had a very good reason for it: the New Year's Eve fairs were held in this garden. Now it's hard for me to imagine how the organizers managed to place the outlets and the public walking between the stalls in the small space of this garden. In my childhood memories, New Year's fairs seem to be grand events, held on a grand scale. But in reality, there were probably only a small number of garlanded stalls set up here, selling Christmas decorations, streamers, and sweet surprises.
