Red Demon Transylvanian Photography
The above photograph was taken on my travels in Transylvania. It’s a photograph of a wonderful fountain that was decorated with these wonderful demon faces.
My latest photography pendant includes the image above named Red Demon and is available for purchase now by clicking here or clicking on the images above for further information.
The Spirit of Transilvania – Sinaia
Back in May 2008, me and my partner Luke toured Romania for a week and it still is to this date, the best holiday I’ve been on. Hopefully the photos below will tell their own story and I can’t wait to go back there. In fact, I would live there if I could as the people are so warm and friendly.
Check out the view from our balcony above!
The setting and scenery were stunning and all you could see was forests for miles and miles. No wonder Transilvania means ‘The land beyond the forest’.
This hotel was in a ski resort called Sinaia and the hotel was just like the one out of the film ‘The Shining’. Massive, grand and white!
Something quite unexplainable did happen to me during the night. Something woke me up and although the room was pitch black, I sensed something rushing past the bottom of the bed.
At least I didn’t see any twin girls or a little boy cycling down the long dark corridors.
Peles Castle
Peles Castle in Sinaia was built between 1873 and 1914; its inauguration was held in 1883. The architectural style is Neo-Renaissance and it was built on a medieval route linking Transylvania and Wallachia.
The castle is simply stunning with its painted walls, numerous statues and fancy architecture. The landscape surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains makes this a magical place and the photograph below has a fantasy feel about it.
If you’ve enjoyed looking at the photographs above, a book titled ‘Treasures of Romania – A Photographic Tour ’ has been put together by me and Luke and is available to purchase from Blurb.

Treasures of Romania
Some of mine and my boyfriend Luke’s favourite photographs have been chosen for my new book, ‘Treasures of Romania – A Photographic Tour ’.
I had always dreamed of going to Transylvania and I finally got the chance to tour Romania and it is such a beautiful country.
If like me, you’ve often thought of visiting Romania, the photographs and information in this book should inspire you to go.
Clicking on the book above will take you to the information page and there is also a FULL preview of the book, but the quality is compressed and therefore it is much better to have the book printed. It would make a perfect gift and you have a number of price options when purchasing the book, such as printing it in soft back or hard back.
Dark Photographs from Romania
Today I’ve published more of my favourite photographs from my trip last year to Romania.
Whilst visiting Sibiu in June 2008, Luke and I were amazed at the show that unfolded in front of us in the main square. We sat outside drinking watching the square fill up as the night drew in. Then at about 10 p.m. we watched a massive whale swim in from the side street, high above the crowds while the music played.
We watched a whole show unfold titled ‘The Pearl’ and it was performed by the Plasticiens Volants. They were amazing!
There are lots more photographs from Romania coming soon!
