    Is that Gringotts?

    This building, the CEC Palace in Old Town, Bucharest is the site of the first bank in Romania. Looks a lot like the wizarding bank, Gringotts, to me.

    The Top of the Bank

    Taking three years to build, the CEC Palace (of which this shot shows just the very top of the tallest dome) is home to the very first bank opened in Romania. We will see more of this great building tomorrow.

    Old Reflections

    This shot shows the first bank in Bucharest reflected in the windows of a nearby modern building. I liked the way the bank is carved up into different sections as each window reflects its image in a slightly different way. Old and new combined.

    Corneliu Coposu

    There are a lot of statues around Bucharest, in Romania. This is one of them that I found whilst exploring the city. This is Corneliu Coposu, a political leader, and one of the more important members of society.
