A cabin at the base of the "lonely stone" in mountainous Harghita County, in eastern Transylvania.​


Hermes, the Greek god of trade, travel, and thievery, dances on the corner of a 1909 building in the western city of Timisoara.


Charlottenburg, a circular village built by Germanic settlers in the late 1700s. The manager of a website dedicated to the village told RFE/RL that the region was "designed" in the Habsburg empire's late baroque style wherein "everything possible was planned, mainly in rectangles and squares. The only exception in the Banat area is this round village. I do not know the reason, but it worked."


The village of Biertan, in central Romania, and its fortified church under a dusting of snow.


The Anghel Saligny Bridge on the road between Constanta and Bucharest. With a span of 2.6 kilometers, the railroad bridge was Europe's longest when it was opened in 1895.
