Still Here, in Baia Mare


Gypsy horse and cart, Str. Victoriei, behind Gold Plaza (under construction).

I took a walk around Baia Mare last evening, photographing some of the more curious and perhaps less-celebrated parts of the city.

This particular photo was taken behind the much lauded "Gold Plaza," which although advertised in tourist literature, and already appearing on maps as "the shopping and entertainment center of Baia Mare," is still under construction and at least a year away from completion (in my estimation). The Roma horse and cart passing by (a common sight throughout northern Romania, in cities and countryside) provides an interesting contrast, I think.
