Wiki took Bucharest

As planned, we had yesterday (Sunday) a photo walk in Bucharest to gather together some contributors to the Wiki Loves Monuments photography campaign and also take a few pictures for the contest

The starting point was at Eroilor subway station, some came, some couldn't (funny story: the couple who in the previous day did their own 10km photo walk had hurting legs and couldn't):

We were seven people and since we exceeded the six people threshold, "plan B" was activated: we split in two sub-teams, each following a different route, planed as about 2 hours long, and then joined back together in the city center. I let the team take pictures of monuments (is a contest, after all), resuming myself to "making of" pics, below are the adventures of my team:

As you can see, each had his/her own tools: from mobile phone and compact cameras to DSLRs:

And each of us freely took the pictures he/she wanted:

In the end we meet the other team in front of Caru' cu Bere and those who wanted continued somewhere in the Old City with some talk, beer and pizza (not pictured, I don't want people to hate me that much):

Expect the pictures to hit Wikimedia Commons any time soon (some already did, probably). And BTW, we are close to 3800, is the last week, the time to contribute the last pics you have lingering, don't be lazy!

...and if you have pictures from your own photo walk, please share them, ours was fun!
