The old town of Sighisoara.

Some places just look good in black and white. They just seem archaic and strange enough for that. The old town of Sighisoara is definitely one of them - especially where antique lanterns hang off the walls.
In this case the shot is taken right behind the famous house of Dracula (which functions predoninantly as a restaurant). The alley is very scenic in color too, but I prefer this look. As if the time long gone comes back to life and just for a moment one is transported two hundred years back - when the streets of the city were echoing with the sound of horse hooves and these lanterns were the only light source.

The story behind the shot:
In each post about Sighisoara I emphasize that this place is crowded with tourists around noon and almost empty the rest of the day. This shot is takenl around three in the afternoon and as you can see - there are almost no people around. I don't know what photoadvice to give you to do something like this - the technical subtleties of of the the shot are generally nonexistent (at least to me, it seems a pretty easy shot to take), there's nothing special. It's just important to see something that matters and means something to you.
