Bucharest – Images by Kira Hagen

I have my first photos from Bucharest up now… honestly didn’t take that many pictures in the capital; it’s the sort of place that walking alone with a DSLR doesn’t seem like the best of ideas. That said, the town has a crumbling elegance that was very graceful. Every corner held promises of strangeness and wonders – they used to call Bucharest the Paris of the East, though it made me think more of photos I’ve seen of Havana. Certainly the heat bore more relation to a tropical island than mainland Europe!
