We were struck by the number of very large residences,
most under construction, few actually finished and
inhabited
|
Even in fairly remote rural areas
|
We have seen hundreds, perhaps thousands; all of the
same very recent vintage, when Romania entered the
EU and capital apparently flooded in--but not long enough...
|
These beside more traditional dwellings, each with a front-
yard well and a yard given completely to fruit and vegetable
gardening
|
Up in the hills, a road-side picnic area
|
In one of the cities, like Cluj, much defunct heavy industry
and oil (?) pipelines
|
Ditto
|
A defunct farm collective out in the countryside, one of
dozens
|
Great beauty in the churches that are
everywhere
|
And more unfinished 5,000 square foot mansions
|
And more wagons...it is a country in transition
