Grand Square reflection, a photo from Sibiu, West

Photographer's Note

Grand Square (Großer Ring) is, as its name suggests, the largest square of the city, and has been the center of the city since the 15th century. 142 m long and 93 m wide, it is one of the largest ones in Transylvania.

Brukenthal Palace, one of the most important Baroque monuments in Romania, lies on the north-western corner of the square. It was erected between 1777 and 1787 as the main residence for the Governor of Transylvania Samuel von Brukenthal. It houses the main part of the National Brukenthal Museum, opened in 1817, making it one of the oldest museums in the world. Next to the palace is the Blue House or Moringer House, an 18th-century Baroque house bearing the old coat of arms of Sibiu on its façade.
On the north side is the Jesuit Church, along with its dependencies, the former residence of the Jesuits in Sibiu. Also on the north side, at the beginning of the 20th century an Art Nouveau building was constructed on the west part, now it houses the mayor's office.
Next to the Jesuit Church on the north side is the Council Tower, one of the city's symbols. This former fortification tower from the 13th century has been successively rebuilt over the years. The building nearby used to be the City Council's meetingplace; beneath it lies an access way between the Grand Square and the Lesser Square.

On the south and east sides are two- or three-storey houses, having tall attics with small windows known as the city's eyes. Most of these houses are dated 15th to 19th centuries, and most of them are Renaissance or Baroque in style.

Hello Daniel

Creative and original shot! I like it a lot. It's a bit strange on your eyes when you first look until you figure it out. It has great visual impact I think and I love the reflection.

Ciao Daniel
bello ed originale riflesso, il mio occhio da geometra vorrebbe vedere la foto nel suo vero senso, ma fotograficamente può essere giusto così.
In ogni caso mi piace la composizione e la qualità, ottima esposizione e bei colori.
Saluti
Carlo

cette maison qui apparaît au milieu des pavés est magnifique; c'est très bien cadré.
Une photo qui sort de l'ordinaire.
Bonne soirée

Ciao Daniel
un bel gioco di riflessi che gioca con la realtà e la fantasia unendole e capovolgendole in un mirabolente gioco di specchi al termine del quale le idee si confondono e riesce difficile capire quale è la realtà e quale il suo riflesso.
Una trovata intelligente quella di capovolgere l'immagine per creare sconcerto nell'osservatore attraendo nel contempo la sua ammirazione.
Un bel lavoro, al quale concorre anche una eccellente nitidezza unito ad un contrasto superbo. Bravissimo
Ciao e buona serata
Romano

Hi Daniel
An interesting point of focus and good use of the puddle to get the nice reflection of the building with clear textures and sheen on the water which grab attentions
Great observation and the opportunity so well taken .Wonderful shot, TFS.
Best regards

Hello,
I like your photo ... the view, natural colors and theme too.
It is a cliché that in many ways is technically perfect.
Congratulations!
Regards,
JP
