Bucharest[edit]

Because there is almost no commercial Freedom of Panorama in Romania, and Commons' decision not to host files for which copyright restrictions prevent them from being used commericially, Commons cannot host photographs of most buildings that were built in Romania in the last century or more. For more of my photography of Bucharest, see the following Flickr albums:
