This is something new for me: street photo/buidings photos/cityscape.
I must be honest: I feel strange with my camera in my hands trying to get some decent photos of some buildings or streets.
I feel much comfortable with my wildlife photos. 
Today: Palace of National Bank of Romania.
I took these photos a few weeks ago when I went to Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
I will quote some informations from here.

1. Old NBR Palace.
The head office of the National Bank of Romania with the view of Lipscani Street is one of the most imposing and massive bank edifices in Romania, nowadays a historic, art monument, and protected as such. It was erected on the former site of the inn built by Şerban Cantacuzino (1678-1688).
On 26 February 1882, architects Cassien Bernard and Albert Galleron were assigned the task to blueprint the NBR Palace. The construction of the building in the eclectic style of the late 19th century, with some neo-classical elements, proceeded between 12 July 1884 (when the foundation stone was laid) and June 1890 under the direction of the architect engineer Nicolae Cerchez assisted by architect E. Băicoianu.
2. New NBR Palace
With the façade on Doamnei Street, the new wing of the NBR Palace was built during World War II, after having laid the foundation stone back in 1937.
The construction works carried on between 1942-44 under the direction of architect Ion Davidescu assisted by two other architects, Radu Dudescu and N. Creţoiu.
The building is emblematic of the neo-classical style with rationalist influences that prevailed in the interwar period. It impresses by the monumental granite stairs, the huge Corinthian columns forming the façade, and the large, white marble-coated halls inside the building.
I was going to say, isn’t this different from the usual?? I really like the first image, its really good
Yes, it is! I was afraid these photos are too bad to be showed, but it seems that at least one of them is good.
Thanks!
These are beautiful. I agree, the first one is especially good. Some architectural photography is fun once in a while, isn’t it!
Thank you. Yes, is is fun but when you have a point a shoot camera you have to choose a day with great weather.
Oh, I think you can get lucky in any weather: my 8 year old point&shoot Fuji3000 does okay, and it isn’t near as good as your camera is. But great weather helps! My personal preference, with this camera, is an overcast day because it doesn’t handle contrast that well.
Beautiful architecture. I like the angles of your shots.
Thank you very much!
It’s good to see how you can be creative with buildings and cities as well as with wildlife.
