Celestial Manors

The Lord of the Manor

 Gypsy mansions…somewhere near Cluj. These gypsies have ‘made it’ one way or the other and, by gosh, everyone is going to know about it. Look at those rooftops! Who made those? Who designed them? They look like a combination of an iconostasis and a casino. Gypsies have their own style and this is it.  

I was kneeling at the gate trying to get my shot when this little boy came up to me. He just stood there gazing at me as if I were a caterpillar. I don’t know what he was thinking and didn’t have a chance to find out as his older brother came out and called to him to come in. He turned away from me at his brother’s call and retreated as silently as he had come.

He was definitely a little rich boy, but he had a sweet demeanor. I had briefly thought to give him a pack of Mentos but then caught myself. He probably has a room full of candy.

I’m glad he came out. He makes my photo.
