Brasov’s main square is beautiful and has a bit of a German feel to it. This is due to the influence of Saxon traders who made their home here in the middle ages. The square is punctuated by a large fountain and Brasov city hall in the center.

It’s not easy to take photos from the top of the Shard as it is all enclosed in glass. As a result, I had to try to find a way to position my camera to avoid all the reflections of the people moving around behind me. We had arrived at just the right time though, as golden light bathed London below us.
