EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken circa 1902, we witness an enchanting scene unfolding in the picturesque town of Sinaia, Romania. Nestled at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, Sinaia is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich history. The town takes its name from the Sinaia Monastery, a place of worship inspired by the Biblical Mount Sinai, where God is said to have revealed the Ten Commandments to Moses. King Carol I of Romania, an ardent lover of nature and the great outdoors, chose Sinaia as the location for his summer residence, Peles Castle. Surrounded by lush forests and snow-capped mountains, the castle is a testament to the monarch's vision and the architectural prowess of the time. In this photograph, we see a group of bears and their handlers, a popular attraction for visitors to Sinaia during the winter months. The bears, tame and well-fed, are seen performing playful tricks, showcasing their agility and strength. The handlers, dressed in traditional Romanian attire, skillfully manage the animals, ensuring their safety and the enjoyment of the onlookers. The scene is a perfect blend of the wild and the civilized, the raw power of nature and the gentle touch of human interaction. The snow-covered mountains in the background add to the magical ambiance, making this photograph a timeless reminder of the enchanting allure of Sinaia, Romania.
