Looking out on street from Unitarian Headquarters
Amid the electrical wires and torn posters, always there are ornate domes, steeples,
cornices, carved wooden doors, ancient alleys...

Daily Life at 21 Decembrie 1989 Boulevard

The date of the Revolution when Communism was overthrown in Transylvania
(formerly Hungarian Boulevard)
The Address of the Unitarian Headquarters and Church in Kolozsvar

Happy, stark reality of the camera, my goodness...

 The onion top steeple of the Unitarian Church next to the plaster details of HQ- I love the metal and plaster textures and designs.  Looking up in this city is a joy!
 Giant halls become lounges. Note above door and below- famous painting of
David Ferencz, arm raised in shaft of light at Torda, convincing Sigismond Janos
that God is one- Unitarianism.

 Overloooking center courtyard and main playground for elementary and high school youth, below. Yesterday, I was working in the Archives watching childre play and I heard loud orchestral music as if in an overture to a Hollywood movie.  I turned to Lehel and said, "What was that?"  He said that other schools have bells, for the Unitarian children they have grand music!  I said, that could be in America!
