This was shot on a cold early February midday on top of the stairs on Gheorghe Marinescu Street in Târgu Mureș. The street is named after the Romanian neurologist, appropriate for a street on which several healthcare and education related institutions can be found.
The park provides a wintry spectacle onto the adjacent neighbourhood and an obstacle course for certain sporting activities depending on season, like urban skiing in this instance. The monolingual inscription below the neon cross facing the stairs is a Christian themed supplication.
