Significado
Describing a clear, cloudless sky.
Contexto cultural
The 'Voroneț Blue' is a national treasure. It's a shade of blue found on the Voroneț Monastery that is said to change slightly depending on the humidity, much like the real sky. Shepherds use the clarity of the blue sky to predict the behavior of their flocks. A deep blue sky often means a long period of stable weather. Mihai Eminescu, the national poet, used 'albastru' and 'azur' to create a sense of 'infinit' (the infinite) and 'dor' (longing). In cities like Bucharest, a 'cer albastru' is a celebrated event due to occasional smog, leading people to flock to parks like Cismigiu.
