These old ladies were walking around the church of Máriaremete. The church is surrounded by sculptures and banches to have a rest. And a lot of green.
I just published my report on the research I have made about the City Daily Photo blog community.
The church of Máriaremete has a story. Around 1760 a Swiss lady called Katrin Thalweiser has moved to Hungary and she brought a painting of St. Maria the virgin. She left the painting on a tree at the place where the church is located now. Local people visited that picture as a holy place and someone built a wooden chapel around the tree in 1809. The church that you can see on the photo was built in 1899.
I finished my small research on the City Daily Photo blog polls. The report you can read here. Any comments are welcomed:)
The view of Budapest from an other angle. The corner of the Andrássy street and the Bajcsy-Zsilinszky street is a quite busy point of the Budapest traffic. On the photo you can see well how flat is Pest. A couple of days ago I posted a similar photo showing Buda with it’s hills.

The management of my University rents out the building time to time for events. Exhibitions, conferences or christian events like this on the photo. I took the photo on a Saturday when I dropped in to the University and I found this choir there. See a short video here.
A little part of the Máriaremetei street. If you can see a hill in Budapest you can be sure you are in Buda. Pest is totally flat. The Mariaremetei street is in the II. district. I like places with hills/mountains around. It brings something dramatic to the nature.
A typical gate in the downtown. Actually this is on the Szent István krt. When I recognised this gate somehow I got impressed. So many things in a little corner. Things that can describe a city in a way. The old gate reports about the history, the graffiti tags are about the modern city life. Advertisements (for example about a private apartment for tourists in this building called riverside). Talking details…
My birthday is on the 19th of May, but it was Monday this year so I organized my party yesterday. I was too busy with other things:) so I do not have too many photos about the party..it was one of them from the beginning when girls started to prepare the food. Oh my God..I became 36:)
A next photo taken from the roofs of the St. Stephen basilica. In the distance you can see the Palace of Buda and the Buda hills. Have a nice weekend!
The MOM Park is a mall. Having strange statues in front of it. On this photo the mall is behind me, the buildings you can see are offices I guess. And other statue at the MOM Park is visible here.
A paternoster or paternoster lift is a passenger elevator which consists of a chain of open compartments (each usually designed for two persons) that move slowly in a loop up and down inside a building without stopping. Passengers can step on or off at any floor they like.
The photo was taken in the building of the Hungarian Railways Company (MÁV). You can see a video about the working paternoster here.
It not a jail. I took this photo in a living house on the Bartók Béla street in Buda. Those old type of elevators are usualy working in a “cage” like this.
