Definitely more documentarian style than artistic composition. But maybe you’ll see something you like and it will inspire you to go check it out, too.
We were at Myrtle Beach for a friend’s wedding, and no trip to Myrtle Beach is complete without hitting up the busy boardwalk and promenade for some cannoli, souvenirs, and a ride on the ferris wheel (especially at sunset).
If your city has a tower, I want to climb it. The Firemen’s Tower (Turnul Pompierilor), built in 1904, is 47 meters high. Bullet holes pock the stone outside as a reminder that this serene city where roses bloom as big as grapefruits has seen its share of violence.
