Medieval ruin, Bucharest, Romania, 2009

The foundations of Bucharest’s oldest medieval palace, dating to 1450, were uncovered in 1967 during archeological digs at the site. Known as the Old Court, the building’s supporting arched vaults are still intact. They were illuminated with colored lights, creating a rainbow of ancient masonry. My image is based on that color – it brings the subject to life and makes it magical.

An impossible sunrise, indeed, Carol. I guess the gold light drives that idea quite effectively.

To me, this suggests an impossible sunrise. Very nicely done!

It was indeed, and a very colorful history at that.
