  • Yes the real medieval town & they kept all old buildings as they were in the 15th century. I haven't seen the house where Vlad Tepes Dracula, was born & lived since he was five, but I know that house is there ( a very nice restarurant nowadays). I love this album, also that was a town which left one of the most impressions to me... Greetings Ana Marija

  • What a beautiful full-sized slideshow this album offers. Many of the photos - windows and some of the buildings remind me of some old parts of Austria. Thank you for taking me to a place I'll never see with my own eyes! ... Judy

  • Hello Yair, Firstly thank you very, very, very much for seeing my new Bavarian album. Yes, perhaps we all have been quite busy with so many other things. Now let me sit down quietly in the weekend, listening to my favorite music again, see all your stunning new photos one by one. Best wishes, dear friend. CS :)

  • Back to Dracula (thanks for your GE today!): The Earl Dracula, vampire living of the blood of living persons, is a pure literary invention of the Irish poet Bram Stoker (end of 19th cent.) - but the horrific legends concerning him had at that time, and especially in the first half of the 20th cent., an immense echo, in several countries but especially (why?) in Romania. Several cities are said to have been home to Dracula, amongst others Sighisoara...! - Best wishes: Kaethi and Henri

  • Hello Yair....another album of perfection! I always enjoy your pictures because you can see beauty when someone else would not. Thank you for sharing your art with everyone! I thank you for your recent visit & wish you a great week & take care my friend!.................. ...Diane

  • Dear friend Yair: this is another example of how ideally present a subject, a visit of a historically important place to a larger circle of visitors. We can follow the walk through the Citadel (certainly so far completely unknown to most of us) as if we really were there, profiting from the explanations and comments. I must add a detail concerning me: that I was particularly interested in the house of Dracula... which and who played an important role in my youngest years... - Thank you and all good wishes: (Kaethi and) Henri

  • Hello Yair, my compliments for this wonderful album. I like travelalbums a lot, as they usually show me unknown places and give me ideas for visits. This fine album is no exception, it conveys in a beautiful way the charm of Sighsoara. A joy to view. Greetz, Tjebbe

  • Hi Yair, finally got to the end of your marvellous album. What a journey again, full of glorious views, buildings, just like Suresh says it is a delight to spend time in a town where you have not visited! What made you choose this country and these places? A good choice! Looking forward to see this featured. Greetings and shabbat shalom from Finland, Merike

  • Yair it has been a pleasure (as a little mouse) to "travel in your pocket" and see this beautiful place with such incredible history and charm. Wonderful photographs as always, and information that is fascinating. If they had history lessons like this when I was in school, I would have paid much more attention. Thank you. Fay

  • Yair, you did well to pick out a city one rarely visits and make it come alive with all its romantic trappings and joie de vivre. It is indeed a treat to wander around this city and look at the sights of Sighisoara through your eyes. Your photography has caught every nuance of the town. I am thankful for this album. I am sure Maria is delighted with the dedication. Best wishes, Suresh

  • Yair, after fully viewing this album I can say that I am very impressed with the quality images that this album is comprised of. You captured this famous city from a variety of angles and spots, framings so specific to your style, time of day or night....etc. You really put together a beautiful album that is unique on Webshots, not only by its quality images, but by the variety and information provided, as well. Thank you so much for this dedication. Maria

  • Yair, You out did yourself on this one! I love all your albums but for some reason I thoroughly enjoyed this album. (I think it's cause for the first time in a long time I've been able to sit down and look through all, not just watch the slideshow) I could not stop myself from making comments. You have become such a great photographer! I hope and pray that it's just a matter of time your abilities will be noticed by someone that can make you popular so I can say... "I know this very popular photograper, he's my friend". :) Cat
