The artwork of the houses is in detail,thumbnails mostly don`t show it.It needs to enlarge the images.
Images are taken in Bukowina (in the northern part of Romania).
Most of the images are taken in villages on a small country road between Vadu Moldovei and Paltinoasa ,some 20 km to Suceava.I think you will find this type of architecture around Suceava.
lipovenians settled mostly in the Danube Delta and Dobrogea (30.000) around 300 lipovenians live in northen Bukovina which is in Ukraine now.those are Romanian houses (part of them have slavic influences) and some of that building style can be found also in Maramures and Transylvania.Stating that those are lipovenian houses is like saying romanians don`t have houses in Suceava`s country side.Get the point.
btw these houses are not romanian but lipovanians (russian old-believers who settled in northen Romania in XVII-XVIII centuries)

Your website is inspiring! We are now planning to visit Romania. But, it would be such a helpful service to label the photos in this section with the name of the nearest town or village. thank-you.
