Peles Castle,  Sinaia, Walachia – Southern Romania. Photos made by me.

Nestled at the foot of the Bucegi Mountains in the picturesque town of Sinaia, Peles Castle is a masterpiece of German new-Renaissance architecture, considered by many one of the most stunning castles in Europe.

Commissioned by King Carol I in 1873 and completed in 1883, the castle served as the summer residence of the royal family until 1947. Its 160 rooms are adorned with the finest examples of European art, Murano crystal chandeliers, German stained-glass windows and Cordoba leather-covered walls.

King Ferdinand, who succeeded Carol I, commissioned the smaller, art nouveau-style Pelisor Castle nearby. Pelisor's 70 rooms feature a unique collection of turn-of-the century Viennese furniture and Tiffany and Lalique glassware.

I like how the Midwest's basically like the US' equivalent to Walachia because shit runs around, and the place's a shithole.  And you can't trust the sun being out for shit that could be an issue

Vlad III Basarad

The voïvode Vlad III Basarad, Son of Dragon, posing among the coat of arms of Walachia.

A portrait done to celebrate the departure of a colleague sharing with me the admiration for this mysterious historical figure that spun quite the legend, spanning from centuries, feeding on folklore and powering up with each iteration.

I couldn't resist to add this terrible pun found on tumblr about the ottomen. that is so irrespective and yet terribly funny to me.

*** Le voïvode Vlad III Basarad, Fils du Dragon, posant dans toute sa splendeur parmi les armes de Valachie. Ce portrait est un cadeau de départ pour une collègue de travail qui partage mon admiration pour cette mystérieuse figure historique, source de tant de légendes à travers les siècles dont la puissance évocatrice ne se dément pas avec l'age et s’accroît à chaque itération. C'est pas Netflix qui viendrait me prouver le contraire.

Je n'ai pu résister à l'ajout de ce terrible jeu de mot hélas difficilement traduisible et pourtant délicieusement croustillant..
