A picture of the Free Press House (Casa Presei Libere) in Bucharest, Romania, seen from the shores of the Herăstrău Lake. In the foreground there's also the famous "H Brewery", which is a massive hall where concerts are also held. Some willows are hanging above the lake. In the background, all sorts of trees are also present. Everything is reflected, slightly blurry, on the lake surface. It's a cloudy weather, as the photo was also taken early evening, at sunset. This is an old photo from 6 years ago, when the lake was filled with water. This summer, the lake was emptied for the most part in order to do some urgent consolidation work on the shores of it, as well as extend the surrounding alley. If any modifications are made, this will serve as a time capsule on how many generations knew the lake, the park and the surroundings captured in this photo.
