Wandering Oradea's Morning Light

i walked into the cobblestone alley just as the sunrise tried to convince itself it was still morning. i just checked and it's a crisp 2°C, still there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. the air smells like wet stone and fresh coffee from the tiny stall down the lane. if you get bored, the nearby towns are just a short drive away. I heard that the old mill on the river still spins a ghost story every full moon. someone told me that the hidden courtyard cafe serves the best coffee at dawn, but i didn't get to try it. I snapped a few frames of the street art that keeps popping up near the old theater, hoping the light would cooperate. here's a quick map so you can see where i am:

after that i headed to the central square where the market stalls spill out onto the pavement. TripAdvisor Oradea guide mentions a hidden garden that only opens at noon, and Yelp local eats lists a vegan bakery that locals swear by. for a splash of color, check out the city board for street art.
