Grayson Highlands State Park
"A lonely spruce defies the odds above the Rhododendron Trail."
On the left side of the DN1 at Km 21, there is the village of Petreşti, a village that is part of the Corbeanca commune, Ilfov county.
The village in the north is bordered by the Cociovaliştea stream, on the bank of which the Animal Research Institute is located.
In the courtyard of this institute, in the southern part, there is the church of Petreşti village.
The church is built of brick, in the shape of a cross, covered with galvanized sheet metal, and was built from the ground up in 1820 by Scarlat and Bălaşa Petrescu "owners of the Petreşti estate", having the patron saint "Saints Archangels Michael and Gabriel".
In 1854, repairs were made by their son Alexandru and daughter-in-law Elena Petrescu.
In 1906, being in ruins, it was repaired again by their nephew Eugeniu Sătescu and his mother Ceciliaş, and painted in the fresco technique, the works finishing in 1909.
M.Simionescu Merei was the architect of the church, and Pr.V.Damian, painter.
In 1941, it was repaired by the last owner of the Petreşti estate, Mr. Floricel Procopie Dumitrescu.
At the entrance it has a porch formed by round wall pillars, forming arches above supported on a wall parapet.
The painting is still preserved only on the walls and in some places in the vaults.
The wall cladding keeps the painting intact.
The tower of the nave is built of plastered and painted stone.
The church has five large windows (two in the pronaos, two in the naos and one in the altar) and a small one in the proscomidiar.
The entrance door is made of oak.
Above the door, inside, is written:
"With the help of the Holy Trinity, built from the ground up in the year of salvation 1820 by Scarlat and Bălaşa Petrescu, the owners of the Petreşti estate, this Holy and Divine place with the Temple of the Holy Angels".
During 1970, the exterior repair of the church began, with the persistence of the priest Ionescu N.Ioan and the contribution of the parishioners, and in the following years it was repaired inside through the efforts of the new priest Dinu Mihalcea from the Preoțeşti parish, Baloteşti commune, because from 15 April 1976, this church became the branch of the new Preoțesti parish established by the basis 6385/1976 of the Holy Archdiocese of Bucharest.
In 1995, the consolidation of this holy place began by the parish priest Bondar Simion, continuing with the plastering and painting of the tower.
Since 2001, the newly appointed parish priest Ioniţă Mircea continues the work by painting the nave, the porch and the altar, helped by the parishioners.
The church owns heritage objects.
In 2008, the Petreşti Parish was re-established, and the priest Ciortan Constantin was appointed Parish Priest.
just saw this and thought it looked interesting. I liked how the sunlight created an interesting shadow.

,,,it means progress, not perfection. Last year I got ticket # 20. This year, I snagged # 2! For a sizeable plate of spit-roast lamb at the Portland Greek Festival.

This photo has always been extremely difficult to get scanned correctly. The slide was always a little off and really was useless for printing purposes because the car turned out too dark. It was always extremely difficult to scan, as well. I've tinkered with it over the past year randomly and feel that I've managed to get it correclt. Hopefully I still have the slide, and it wasn't tossed on my latest purge
The good thing with fireworks shots is that that they are usually taken against a black background and so it is easy to combine a number of shots to create the particular composition or effect you are looking for.
This image is the result of four exposures, one that captured the range of bright streams of light low down, one that had the sparks at mid level and two for the high level bursts. With all the shots being taken in the same position on trip then it was a case of using lighten mode to stack the layers together.
So while they did not all happen at the same time it is the effect of being there that you are left with.
