Podul Izvor, Bucuresti
Sketching along the Dambovita river this morning. This corner at the bridge is one of my favorite spots, not only because of the eclectic buildings, but because when you drive under the canopy of trees on the other side of the bridge, you come right out at Cismigiu Garden, and it's a beautiful spot. As I was standing there looking at the bridge, I realized this combination stoplight - street sign is a pretty elaborate piece of communications hardware.

Just down from the bridge, there's a great view of this mix of buildings.... 19th century imperial style with glass and steel modern, with brutalist, with a few others. I'm sure in the 19th century it fronted out to the river.

Sometimes the mix of eclectic styles isnt so well done. Anyway, I'm sure the building in the back used to front out to the river, probably with a beautiful open lawn or courtyard. It's one of the 19th century landmarks of Bucharest.
