Sep 2007 - Oradea
A collection of pictures taken during my 4 month stay in Oradea. First pictures from the countryside, and then some pictures from around the city, followed by pictures of a monastary. Every time I went on a train in Romania, I looked for opportunities to take good pictures of the gorgeous countryside. I never got better pictures than these ones my first train ride in to Oradea.
