I like streets with special mood. Gül Baba was an Ottoman dervish and poet living in the middle ages when Buda has been occuppied by the Ottomans for 150 years. The street named after him is a little narrow street leading up to the hill. There is nothing special, no stores, museums or anything like that just a little street with special mood.:)
I thought that this kind of fun is popular only in Japan:) Its in the Westend mall in Budapest.
At times I post my older photos. I guess I took this like two years ago. That day I took a lot very similar one, and not to make them boring I post them step by step:) So again a classic about the Elizabeth bridge!
Péter Mansfeld is one of the most tragic heroes of the Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight of 1956. He was a 15 years old pupil when he became active in a civil capacity during the popular uprising, bringing food and water, ensuring the nessecary provisions and delivering messages between the different groups of freedom fighters.
After the bloody crushing of the Revolution, Péter took the adults’ slogan to heart “We begin the fight again on the 15th of March 1957!” Moreover this young boy firmly belived the boradcasted promise that the Hungarians should continue to fight and and the West would come to their aid.
And that aid never came!
Péter was arrested at the tender age of 16, and subsequently condemned to death and executed a few days after his 18th birthday!

Rószadomb used to be the richest area of Budapest. Nowdays those who are wealthy are living rather in Solymár or in Sashegy.
ARC is an art initiative for talented people. Every year they dedicate the outdoor exhibition to certain topics and people can apply with their works/ideas to be featured in Budapest. This year they encouraged people to react on the recent crisis under the title “restart, rerouting”.
The photo is one of the featured work made by Molnár Attila Baedecker.
