The history of Hungarian opera dates back more than 300 years, although the formal opening of the Opera House did not take place until 27th September 1884. The centennial of the opening was an opportunity for technical modernisation, renovation of both interior and exterior, and finally presentation once again to the public.

Maybe you will help me how to call these signs in English. I have no idea.:) But one is sure..you can see them everywhere in Hungarian forests. They help you to find your way! This tree I found on the János-Hill in Buda.
Matthias Corvinus (Matthias the Just; February 23, 1443 – April 6, 1490) was King of Hungary and Croatia ruling between 1458 and 1490. He was also crowned King of Bohemia in 1469 and ruled Moravia, Silesia, and Lusatia; from 1486, Matthias was Duke of Austria. (source: wikipedia)

Impressions of Prague: time can not erase
This ex-military camp is located in Buda in a green area. I have choosen this angle including the rails too because the atmosphere of these old buildings always remind me of the age of Austro-Hungarian Empire and its K.u.K army.

I took this photo from my friends’ window. The house is an old fashioned office building and while my friends are drinking coffee or beer in the kitchen they can see people working in those offices. And they call them droids (robots).:)

At times, its hard to decide if something appearing in your picture is a distraction or a useful addition. This time I didn’t mind at all the orange balloon appearing behind the streetlight. What do you think?

Breathtaking photos: night sailing
This very color ful canteen belongs to a new office center on the Váczi út. And again a top secret military area. When I took this photo about the totally empty restaurant one of the staff members came to me warning me that it was forbidden to take photos!
This sculpture belongs to the Millenium Monument on the Heroes’ Square. Just like this which I have posted a few days ago. These are allegorical figures of Work and Prosperitiy.

Impression of Indonesia: Baliem Festival
In a way the whole city is under reconstruction nowdays. The old buildings in the downtown get this “cover”. Less dust and dirts, and a good opportunity to the owners to get extra incomes from advertisements.
