NEAR THE CEC PALACE
(August 20 - September 6)
Astro-photo-poem (cosmopoem) by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
My favorite clock building in Bucharest
(nicknamed Little Paris before World War 2)
is the CEC Palace,
which was made in 1897-1900
by a French architect
(assisted by Romanian engineers).
This building includes also
my favorite architectural clock lunette
(from Little Moon in French).
Unfortunately, when I tried
to take a few evening pictures there,
the street lights stopped me aggressively.
However, not too far away,
I remarked Arcturus,
who looked like
a cell of artificial illumination.
“Could your favorite clock building
show the exact time in the star systems
of the constellation of Boötes?” -
Alpha Boötis finally asked me,
watched by
a “parhelion” of light pollution.
