Let's Go Back In Time - Part 1
Today I'd like to take you back in time by visiting a part of the Astra Museum situated in Sibiu, Romania, where you can see traditional folk habitats, houses, churches, different mills, carriages and vehicles etc.
This is an old wooden church with shingles which probably dates back to the 19th century but it might be older. The roof of the house indicates that it is from a mountain area where heavy snowing might have been present back in those days. This type of roof makes the snow slide down. A roof made of shingles can't support too much snow and at some parts of Romania winter can be tough.
This is a small church probably from a remote area. Access for visitors was denied to preserve the interior decorations.
That wooden cross is handmade, hand carved and look at those brooms. Have you ever seen such brooms?
Another house made of wood and pise. Beneath the house there was usually a storing space for food and not only. You can see the small door, the entrance.
Another small house, a little bit different from the other, also made of wood and covered with shingles. The wall facing the street is painted with whitewash. The fence is also made of wood and put together using branches.
During the time of my visit the museum was hosting a series of events, workshops dedicated to disabled people.
As you can see, those masks displayed on the fence are handmade traditional masks used during folk festivals.
This is the first part of my series. Stay tuned for the next part.

I was encapsulated by this collage of imagery.
There is something about this place that is very welcoming, and has a pull of sorts. I always examine your photography in a larger format so that I am able to take it all in. Some of the aspects of these photo's that really stood out for me were:
The shingles on the rooves really caught my attention. This is likely due to the fact that I have some experience on rooves. I can't help but to wonder if the wood used is a cedar variety. I'm very intrigued. This feat of craftsmanship is indeed, very impressive!
The vibrancy of the sun is the next aspect that really stands out. It's as if this place demands sunlight!
Really like the folk art as well, very strange and cool!
Lastly, the plant life also seems very vibrant. I can't help but to notice the healthy sunflowers and vine's that are in abundance.
It appears minimal editing was done to these photo's, which I can also appreciate, as the feel is very authentic and real.
Ps. I've seen these brooms before, but only one in real life, that a family member owns. She is very secretive about it, and only shows it once in a while. Her's is much shorter than these, and a little more intricate, but very old, and very cool.
Thank you for this amazing piece Erikah, it was a pleasurable experience to visually digest!
Thank you. Actually these photos are heavily edited because the light was so strong. I did what I could to make them acceptable.
Very nice 👍
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Many thanks @pixresteemer.
That looks like a fascinating place to visit! Great photos. That is a really steep pitch on that roof.
It is indeed, it's a nice place to learn about history. Stay tuned, part two is coming soon :)

Vidéki hangulat vagy mi a szösz :)
Dániában a munkatársam egy román srác volt, aki Sibiu-ból származott.
Kicsi ez az európa :D
Igen, az magyarul Szeben. Ez a múzeum is ott van, csak a külvárosban. Szép hely.
Na, azt nem tudtam, hogy Szebenről van szó :) Nem jártam még ott sosem, mondjuk alapból nem sok helyen jártam még Erdélyben. Nagyon messze van tőlünk.
Igen, Szeben a neve, utánanézhetsz :)
Hey @erikah. I actually like this type of architecture. It all looks simple but built out of necessity with heavy snowfalls. Look forward to your next installment.
Hello @cryptoandcoffee, I'm glad you like it. I agree with you on that, it needs knowledge and hard work to build a house like that.
The new instalment is out :)
