We wandered along the 1000 years old Targului Street in #Sibiu and snapped both eerie and cheerful #photos. I thought of how life must have been for the Saxons who built the first wooden houses here, during medieval times.

Long before the 1st of March, red and white begin to gather in my thoughts. On Mărțișor day those twin threads appear— insistent, disarmingly simple. A charm no heavier than the season’s first breath. Why?
