Every day going to work I go along the Dâmbovița river. So I decided that it deserves some photos here. 

Actually this river isn't anything to be proud of. Bucharest never functioned as a port city, the river has never been navigable. The river was channeled twice: in 1883  and in the late 1970s, to aid in the replanning of the Central area and the construction of the Bucharest Metro. The photos below shows the fragment of a river in th city centre. 

To be honest, I have never seen such a polluted river in a capital city. But surprisingly, still you can find many 'fishermen' on the banks, as well as some small fish living in it. The water flows so slowly that it is really hard to guess which way it goes.

Recently the water level is going down and down, so the monster it getting bigger and bigger...
