White coat is covering Budapest and most parts of the country. The only thing I like in winter is snow:) Otherwise it is too cold and too dark.

Before storm
I took this photo on Monday early afternoon at the Andrássy street in Budapest. Very dramatic background but if I remember well it wasn’t really followed by storm.

Winter’s Special Protection | Mihály Vörösmarty
Downtown Pest. Here’s where the Carrara marble statue of Mihály Vörösmarty can be found. If you are a tourist visiting during this time, you see it only in this manner. Just because in Winter, this statue is protected in this ‘bubble-like’ special protective material.
Ede Kallós and architect Ede Telcs had their work made from Haraszt quarry limestone blocks. Mihály Vörösmarty is surrounded by figures representing all classes of society: worker with his wife and small son, man wearing traditional ceremonial clothes, woman with a baby in her arms, schoolboy, old peasant, farmer and peasant girl, gentlewoman and grown-up student, shepherd boy, and old woman with her grandchild.
