In search for the graves of the former dictators of the country, I discovered Ghencea Cemetery as a romantic corner of the city with graves overgrown by flowers, monumental statues, and resting places of aviation heroes.
During that visit, I was not able to locate the grave of Elena, and so it was that I returned to Ghencea Cemetery on a summer morning in search of the grave of the woman who is widely believed to have had an even worse impact on Romanian society during the dictatorship years. I found her pretty quickly, as she lies on the other side of the main aisle leading from the entrance to the chapel. But some security guards were circling around me, and after some time, approached me, talking to me in Romanian and, finally, pointing to my camera and saying "No photos, da?". I patiently let them walk away, and continued my exploration of the cemetery. I could not resist taking pictures of the cemetery, as I had come to appreciate the graves overgrown by flowers, the green appearance: Ghencea Cemetery definitely has a very romantic atmosphere.
