Wonderful. Except I think women are used in sculpture and art to symbolize wisdom, victory, justice, love, whatever, but not really employed enough in positions of leadership, I think.

Meg..is the president/prime minister of New Zealand a man? Maybe…if we have luck the next president of the USA will be a woman. Nowdays I know only Queen Elisabeth and Angela Merker as female leaders.

Olivier,
yes, this place is so beautiful :) you’ll see more photos from me and through my ‘eyes’….
Kate,
I hope this cultural aspect that’s been hindering WOMEN will change for the better over time;)

Zsolt, actually, New Zealand has quite a few women in power, luckily. Currently our PM and the Speaker are women, and we have a fair few ministers. In 1999, we had the PM, the Governor General (Representative of Queen Liz), Attorney General, and a few ministers, that I can recall; possibly the head of Telecom, and maybe a few mayors. I kept a magazine cover of seven powerful women in NZ at that time, but I think I lost it… Darned!
But apparently the statistics aren’t that great in the business world.

Soccer, as we call it here in the states, is gaining popularity, and I’m supportive. Sorry about the loss and thank you for the tribute. Life is so fleeting that tributes are important. I shall look up his name and learn more about him.

Thank you for bringing this man to my attention. That is an incredible photo, isn’t it? I always admire soccer (football) players’ legs- they need so much strength with that constant running, stopping, starting, kicking. Amazing stamina.
I have also posted a memorial today to a sports legend here in Michigan who died yesterday.

thank you for the nice comments..:)
Lachezar…i took the photo because I like her too.
Olivier…I guess a lot of people have a photo at home with this princess.:)
Edwin..her “wind bowing hair” makes the whole picture moving.
Ann..would you take a photo with her?:)
Kate…I guess the angle shows very well these details. And to be honest only her mouth shows that she is female. (and the name of the statue)
Lisi…I am glad you liked the photo..I have more with her I guess I will upload them later.
Lara…welcome back.:)
Jazzy…check your post box often!!:)
Annie..I dont know any story about her..but I will check.
Denton…maybe knowing she is so popular keeps her warm
Alice…my English is broken enough to know which expression is correct or not but I know what you mean:)
Mountainboy…I wonder which tale you mean?
Keropok Man…you are welcome to Budapest!!…she will be happy to have a photo with you:)

Meg Nakagawa said…
So, do you mean, this is a sculpture titled something like “princess” or is this a historical figure? I’m actually more interested to know if the crown is a traditional crown of some of the people who came to Hungary (because I learned a heck of a lot about the different people arriving at Hungary just recently!!!)

Thank you and it been a very nice lovely time,really….and Thank you for your well wishes:) Glad you like this shot
:D
Meg,
Yes, I am here in Budapest now…I live in Singapore as you know, it is so near to the Equator that I am experiencing Summer for the entire year. This time around, it sounds a little crzy, but Autumn is a season I wanna see and observe the little changes day by day. And it’s really true that it is soo soooo beautiful and romantic, with such colours in front of my eyes..:D))
Selena and Jazzy,
Looking at this building, I see only the finer details. Zsolt explained that it is a ‘weaving’ association and it’s a very special grey on this building so together with the still verdant green leaves, it seems so refreshingly good:)
It is much colder in the noon times when the wind blows…though the day fluctuates between 10-8 deg C I think…it seems fine for the current moment…Thank you so much for that caring note;)
Kate,
Exactly, i love it exactly as per your observations;)
Thank you…
Keropok man,
I’ll probably get you some ‘marcipan’:)?
Thiên,
Thank you…i will with my down feather coat:)
Irrendento Urbanita,
Now it is one of my favourite,Autumn…But I am curious about Spring in Europe too:) I love the natural changes.

Back in 1961, my mother and I flew from Tokyo to Anchorage, Alaska, and then to Minnesota. It was a great big deal in Japan, and my grandfather rented a bus so all my relatives could go to the airport and see us off. Not sure about Europe, but 66 may not have been much different in Japan. I know things changed a bit after the Jumbos started arriving.

well done Denton! Zsolt, hopefully your problems that you had at blogger will disappear.
btw did you have to buy your domain name first and than migrate to word press? i’m asking for the future reference for some of us if want to change as well.
so many great details on this museum and it’s been kept very well.
jazzy said,
wow Zannnie that’s a beautiful shot.
did you have time to try famous Hungarian paprikash? =)
photowannabe said,
Great Blue. I like the building textures against the sky.

Susan said,
I am so curious as to why the columns on the left are pink! I am surprised I am the only to want to know this as it is very unusual!
Do you know why they are a different color?
Nice shot by the way. I love to see building architecture and street life scenes…to me, they give the true feel of a city!
Susan said,
Another beautiful shot of a gorgeous sky and building! I love it! Again, I notice unusual paintings on the building (the roof). I wonder if they were always a part of it or were added later.
Susan said,
Zsolt,
As I was going through several DP blogs I saw your repeated questions wanting a more detailed understanding of exactly what Waferboard is. Since the post was days ago and I don’t know if you’ll go back there, I thought I would answer here. It must look strange to someone who has never seen it before! It is made of wood chips (pieces of wood) glued to together. Once the house is completely built, it will not be seen (inside or out). It is like a foundation for the walls. Insulation, wiring, etc will be placed on it and then the inside of the house will be covered with Wallboard
Zannnie said,
Susan said,
November 22, 2006 @ 4:37 am
Zsolt said,
Susan…the columns are pink because they painted there the name of the museum and the logo of the recent exhibition I guess. Usually they use flags or boards to advertise…but lately they are more brave and creative.
Zsolt said,
Dear Susan, thank you for your detailed answer. I really never seen a house like this in real…and the photo on Stayton DP was very interesting to me to see how they build it. Thank you for the useful links too:)
Olivier said,
En regardant cette sculpture, j’ais pense à une sculpture de bottero.
Si j’avais a parier, je dirais que c’est un homme. tres belle sculpture.
By looking at this sculpture, I board think of a sculpture of bottero. If I had has to bet, I would say that it is a man. very beautiful sculpture
kris said,
its a quirky design, like it too..I think its a woman..hmmmm
jazzy said,
great sculpture as well as the taurus at the back.
i was thinking the same is it a man or a woman? my vote goes to woman =)
Lachezar said,
Yes, it is great sculpture. Lots of character.
From your photo and the light, I actually see him as standing proud of his merchandise.
I can also see a sculpture from a previous post behind.
Cheers!

Susan said,
I think it is a woman. Look at the sagging breasts! But then again, fat men have them too!
So unusual to see a statue that is not fit and perfect!
Kate said,
And, for me the fact that the statue is realistic, not fit or perfect, is what makes it appealing.

Hey, new home, and Anti Spam word is ‘dazzling’ – so fitting for the ‘new’ BDP.
Now that I’ve seen the outside, I’d really love to visit this museum. Sounds fascinating.

I like the atmosphere, too. It’s kind of a ’soft’ mood, as opposed to heroes on horses and lions and bears and all the rest.
jazzy said,
great zoomed details Zannnie, i like the colour of the sky too.

The zoomed out view is very impressive. The architecture in Budapest must be exciting to you. It seems so different from Singapore.

i like this kind of picture, a kind of drawing from the kids’ mind. and really an important topic for us to think of…also Lisi (http://www.HongKongdailyphoto.com from Hong Kong also posted one view about the homeless people on the street.
I think that is a phenomenon all over the world, I could see them here too. Sad view, but serious problems for the whole society,for all of us to think of the way to solve the problems, to educate them as Denten said, to help them as Zsolt said… which are the best ways to solve it?? i hope the with the time is going by, the less homeless people we will see.
Mimmu said,
What a touching drawing and also this touching thought try to go into homeless people`s distress.
Thank you for this thought-provoking post.
kris said,
putting words into action, what an interesting movement!
and fantastic idea to educate the children on this social issues , i’m impressed!
Denton said,
I agree with Kris, that getting the children involved and aware is a great idea. So often we look for quick fixes while educating the next generation may be the best approach of all. What the Hungarian society does to show solidarity is admirable. Your post is admirable. Bravo.
kris said,
Nice inviting colours! so many goods, its hard to decide what to buy!
once i tried to snap a shot, and was immediately stopped by a guard .. :p
jazzy said,
great choice Zannnie, hope the prices are ok. langos is on my mind since Kris posted it a few weeks back, looks so tasty.
have a nice weekend.
Keropok said,
Stunning displays of fruits! Makes me wanna have them too!
James said,
Looks like the three kings story, but the fella on the left is wearing the Hungarian crown.
James said,
This is quite nice. A great shot and good info on the architect. Seems well worth that they rebuilt it.
Kate said,
The market is both inviting and clean! The food and fruits are displayed in a very pleasing way! Wonderful broad view!
Meg said,
I don’t know the story, but I love the lamppost to the left of the basilica in the long shot! Beautiful. So delicate.
Meg said,
The display of the art itself is well-thought-out. Lisi had a man on the street, as well. Come to think of it, I think we do have homeless people in Nelson, but so far I haven’t seen one. In Auckland, I remember, the bookshop Borders used to stay open until very late, (not sure if it still does) and from about 7 or 8pm onwards, the homeless people congregated around the art books section; I didn’t know what to think because on the one hand one could not really get around them to look at the books (they don’t make way for you, either) but on the other, clearly, they were going to get thrown out when the shop closed, so these few hours were their moment of relative peace.
So I didn’t buy much, which might have been a good thing for our Visa balance anyway.
Meg said,
So clean! I hope you got some of the folk art booths, too.
Keropok said,
I can’t think of any similar proverbs right now. Arrghh this is hard!
The bush in front has dried up?
Zsolt said,
its not a problem if its not similar Keropok man…just share with me proverbs from your country:)
The bush is loosing its leaves…its autumn and “he” is not evergreen as the others around him:)

I just like this shot with the colors and the blurry images of people!
Lisi said,
in Chinese, I don’t know if there’s a similar one but I think it means a person is indecisive or changing his views constantly?
Lachezar said,
Its a beautiful photograph, as for the proverb nothing comes to mind immediately, but I’ll give it a thought. A brilliant idea anyway!
mimmu said,
It`s a good proverb with a good thought, but I can not find either Finnish proverb
with same meaning.
But, I could not get comment for Jing today. I have blogger beta.
Would you try to leave comment for her.
Nice garden you have!
valery said,
Uhmm, I can say:
“If now you are up, tomorrow you can be down”
It’s not the same but it’s similar.
Great hug for you zsolt
jing said,
I am thinking for the meaning of thie proverb for a long time. Does it mean the person cant make his decision ?? or he is easy to change his mind??
mm…maybe here is one in Chinese
墙头草，两边倒 (in pinying: qiang2 tou2 cao3,liang3 bian1 dao3). It describes people who do not have his desicion, he would follow the trend,not his mind. In Chinese, it is the derogratory term.
the meaning is different, but similar???
(in literally: qiang2= wall, qiang2 tou2=the top of the wall, cao3= grass; liang3=both, liang3 bian1=both sides, dao3=fall.) oh, hope all i explained you could understand….

oh, my godness.the photo, :) whats that red(?) things?? the view looks great!!
jazzy said,
what a difference in the scenery of your garden, amazing.
i love your quizzes, interesting to come back.
i’m rally thinking hard and i don’t see that we have anything similar to yours but here is a nice one from bosnian language:
kiss, kiss but don’t loose your head (kinda self explanatory, it’s rhyming as well so it sounds nice).
fabrizio said,
much beautiful this autumnal landscape
Faye Pekas said,
You have a beautiful yard.
I think your proverb means to “keep an open mind”. Don’t focus only on A, but also consider B.
Zannnie said,
Singapore don’t really have many great men who came up with deep thinking proverbs.
I’m not exactly sure if this is close enough, but I kind of like this one:)
”He who can take no interest in what is small, will take false interest in what is great.”
photowannabe said,
I can’t think of a proverb, but maybe it means that there are always 2 sides to a story.
Fun contest.
Also could you tell Jing that I can’t comment on her blog either in either format.
photowannabe said,
Oops, I forgot to say that your backyard picture was nice with the spot of color from the tree. I like the foggy background too.
Nathalie said,
Mimmu today also posts a view of her city with a link to a previous shot taken this summer. I positively love these before/after shots. Yours manage to be beautiful in both cases, as always (although I liked the rose one so much!!!!).
Now for the meaning of the proverb, I suggest it means ‘he who starts something should carry through the logic of what he started’. Is that correct ????
Zsolt said,
thank you all for your comments and for the wonderful proverbs. I am glad that I could find out something you like:)
I guess the meaning of this proverb is something like: if you start something…better to finish it.
But its just one possible interpretation.
Ok…I can see its hard to find a proverb which has the same/similar meaning. But since my goal is to collect as many proverbs as possible from very different cultures pls feel free to share with me your country’s most popular proverbs.:)
Jing…today i learned from you something again about Chinese:) The character 头 (tou2) means originally HAIR…but here it means TOP. So its like the HAIR of the WALL is the same as the TOP of the WALL. Its wise and funny at the same time:)
Thank you again for all the nice comments:)
Olivier said,
superbe ce paysage d’automne avec ce brouillard. bravo
superb this landscape of autumn with this fog. cheer
jing said,
hey, Zsolt, you are welcome. :)
and yes, in Chinese, one character could have many meanings when it combines with other characters….
and i am so looking forward today’s proverb….:)
Zannnie said,
Jing,
yes maybe the woman decides;)
Lachezar,
Glad you like it, there are another two other posts on this Basilica by Zsolt too…
Olivier,
it’s amazing how the other members were listening so intently;)
Bill,
Glad you are here looking at this new domain now:) Happy Thanksgiving! No hungarians dun really celebrate the Thanksgiving…
Dawn,
oh it’s quite amazing seeing it in person:)
tr3nta,
yes i love that BLUE SKY……Thanks for your comments and glad that you like it too:)
marieta,
;) heheh…looks like it is…….:)
jazzy,
it’s wonderfully blue and seeing this blue sky itself can make me smile the entire day:)
but as u know, the day is so short here, sun set by 4pm
Denton,
yes,…the architectures here are so sooo beautiful, and yes it is entirely different…totally different from Singapore, it’s very historical here:)
James,
ohhh, you reckoned it is the story about the ‘three kings’?:)
Meg,
that’s a very beautifully done lamp, huge too:)
Thank you everyone….for your kind comments;)
Olivier said,
ce marché a l’air tres beau, j’aime beaucoup la structure de la mezzanine
this market has the very beautiful air, I like much the structure of the mezzanine
isabella said,
Very Old World, I love it!
jing said,
nice shot.
and for the proverb, I think of a proverb, not the same in meaning. but in the way of figure of speech is similar.
说话是人生的需要，听话是人生的艺术。(shuo1 hua4 shi4 ren2 sheng1 de0 xu1yao4,ting1 hua4 shi4 ren2 sheng1 de0 yi4 shu4.In literally: shuo1hua4=to speak, shi4= is, ren2 sheng1=life de0=of, xu1yao4=demands; ting1hua4=to listen,yi4 shu4=art.)
(it means: to speak is the demands of our life, to listen is the art of our life. )
this one maybe is came from abroad. i dont know. :))
sophieandersen said,
Such a warm and inviting photo…very beautiful!
photowannabe said,
Not exactly a proverb but the saying…Silence is golden.
A verse we used to say as children is Make new friends and keep the old, one is silver and the other gold.
Nice shot. Pretty Old World looking place. I would like to shop there.
jing said,
:))
i noticed those 2 guys with white clothes.and really could fullfilled the room.
and the proverb
有其父，必有其子。（like the father, like the son）
(you3 qi2 fu4, bi4 you3 qi2 zi3)
Ting said,
I presume that the architecture represents a reunion dinner of a Royal family on the special occasion, i.e Christmas. The female host is making a speach to the famil, as well as blessing her new borned grandson.
Olivier said,
on se croirait dans un film americain sur la maffia ;o)
one would believe oneself in an American film on the Maffia ;o)
Zannnie said,
Well said, Ting..:) nice story:))
kris said,
without reading the title, i thought IT IS the mafia! very stylish event!
the guy can be mistaken for ogli g! btw, i like his song high roller
wise proverb, i’ll try to look for some
jazzy said,
that was a big event Zsolt
here is another proverb for you:
‘if the neighbour’s house is burning, extinguish it’.
Kate said,
A wedding–for real? Do they object to the word, “gypsy?” I had a musician visit my classroom once who explained that they prefer to be called “Roma.” but I’m not sure if that’s worldwide.
James said,
These are gypsies? Looks like a scene from the godfather.
James said,
Nice car alarm background beat. Odd that the women were in the back. Where was this near Varosliget Park?
isabella said,
Looks like extras on a movie set…
Lisi said,
Like isabella, I thought it was a film set!
Susan in Atlanta said,
Olivier, you read my mind!
I was going to say that the big guy up front looked like the “Godfather”!
How do you know that they are gypsies? Can you tell us more about gypsies?
Mimmu said,
Your proverb`s thought is fine.
We say here “Speaking is silver, being silent is gold”
The house of your photo must be old one, beautiful railing.
photowannabe said,
The Godfather came to mind with me too. Nice video.
Proverb, The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Lachezar said,
We have a very similar Bulgarian proverb.
That’s why girls time the introduction of boyfriends to their mothers very carefully… ;) cheers!
jing said,
:)))
so hot??very hot???very very hot??
mmm…only want to try one bite!!!
i am afraid of the spicy food…….ooooo, dam poor skin!!!
:P
Lachezar said,
A good photo, a good proverb, some good food, It doesn’t get any better than that.
Cheers!
Cathie said,
It means that if you start to say something, you should finish it! You can’t say A and then not go on and say B.
We have the exact same in swedish.
jing said,
I think of one proverb:
萝卜青菜，各有所爱。（in pinyin: luo2 bo0 qing1 cai4, ge4 you3 suo3 ai4）
its meanning is : someone likes radish, someone likes greengrocery.Each one has his favourite.
Cathie said,
We have a somewhat similar proverb in swedish: To speak is silver, to be quite is gold. It means that sometimes it’s better not to say anything at all.
Lisi said,
looks really yummy and looks like satay from southeast asia only that these were grilled (?)
Olivier said,
j’ai attendu ce midi pour repondre a ce post, car le matin je prefere la bonne baguette francaise. Humm cela semble tres bon et ca donne envie. (sinon merci pour tes proverbes, c’est une tres bonne idee)
I waited this midday to answer has this post, because the morning I prefer the good French rod. Humm that seems very good and Ca gives desire. (if not thank you for your proverbs, it is a very good idea)
Keropok said,
i want to have that!!! tapow back to Singapore Zannnie!
Denton said,
I really like the steam rising off the food in this photo … I plan to go home this evening and check the labels of our paprika. Maybe they come from Hungary and I was never aware. One of the dishes we prepare is Hungarian goulash which is heavy in paprika … A similar saying would be “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.
photowannabe said,
Yummmm…looks so good. Thanks for the lesson on paprika. We have the same saying here in the US.
Have a wonderful day.
Abigail said,
Yay! Food posts are a great new inclusion. Food is something I can always truly understand, which transports me to a place, even if just from a photo!
Zsolt said,
thank you for your comments.:) Maybe they really looked like being in a movie…in the Godfather…but they are not. It was a real event with gypsys.
I promise I will write more about it…and I will collect the proverbs you shared with me to my site. Nowdays I am very busy but soon I am comming back:)
jazzy said,
it’s great to see you’re enjoying hungarian delicacies, these skewers look yummmmmy and now you have to tell us where did you find this food stand, just in case we visit Budapest one day =)
here’s one more proverb for you:
‘even on the same pillow a man and a woman dream differently’ – on how different we all are.
jing said,
:)
i think of one proverb:
人无完人，金无足赤。(ren2 wu2 wan2 ren2,jin1 wu2 zu2 chi4)
（no perfect person, and so does the Buddhist.）
and very winter-style photo.
Olivier said,
la ballade doit etre tres belle, les jours de beau temps. j’aime bien la perspective de ta photo.
the ballade must be very beautiful, the days of good weather. I like the prospect for your photograph.
kris said,
yum yum! know what, zannie? i still dare not use too much of paprika. Need to understand more and this post did help a lot. Thanks!
kris said,
zsolt,
i cant see the photo unless i clicked on it. am i the only one?
jazzy said,
that is a nice promenade Zsolt. Kris i can see photo normally.
here something similar to your proverb:
‘man to man is a wolf’
Lachezar said,
I really like this photograph!!!
Bulgarian proverb:
A word about to be spoken is like a stone that is ready to be thrown
All the best
Jackie said,
St Andrew is Scotland’s patron saint, so I knew today was his day. You reminded me to say happy saint’s day to my friend Andras in Romania though, I was too stupid to make the connection myself!
Kate said,
Yes, it is deserted, much like many other places during the winter–until the snow arrives, I think, to make the weather tolerable. I just got up and am too sleepy for a proverb, but I’ll be back with one!!
Zsolt72 said,
Kris..thank you for informing me about the photo…I have relaoded it and now it works hopefully
photowannabe said,
Nice composition of a wintery looking day.
quote might be some people are wolves in sheep”s clothing. or maybe , a person speaks out of both sides of their mouth.
Have a good day and stay warm.
Kate said,
This truly is a special shot!!
Sally said,
Very cute shot.
photowannabe said,
Babies are always cute. Even when I can only see the bottom half. Loved the video of the twins.
Bill said,
Ah, I remember those days!
jing said,
ooh, so cute, i think these are the youngest feet i ever saw on the theme day.
:))
cute feet,and hope in the future these cute feet could stand firmly and run all over the world.
cute shot for the theme day.
Denton said,
Your YouTube video is great. Your photo is special.
Ting said,
I totally agree with Kris said that put words into action. There aren’t many homeless people in Beijing, China, although there are still so many poor people in China who are living in the shed. While I was in CPT, South Africa, I saw so many poor homeless people who were living on the streets with only one thin blanket to cover themselves in cold nights, especially the children (the baby looking ones) among them, which really upsets me. It is important to make everyone to aware of it, and it is amazing idea to start with educating our children.
Ting said,
Seriously, this market is exactly what we need in Beijing. It is clean and tidy, with good quality of fruits、meats、vegetables and groceries. If we had this kind of “luxuary” in Beijing, I don’t ever need to go to three different places to do my weekly shopping on Saturdays, and it would save me so much of time.
Kim said,
Oh such happy, socky feet! Very fun for today,
-Kim
Randy said,
Clever shot! I love it.
Olivier said,
si mignon, je lui preterais bien mon amedée. bravo pour la photo et une superbe idée pour le theme du jour. bravo
if nice, I would lend to him well my amedée. cheer for the photograph and a superb idea for the topic of the day. cheer
Felicia said,
Such cute and warm looking feet!!
kris said,
thanks for the video, they are adorable and dolly!
Good post!
Jackie said,
Cute picture – but why didn’t we see Uncle Zsolt in the video?!!! (or maybe we did?)
Edwin said,
this is my favourite of all the theme shots! :)
Zannnie said,
Jackie,
Uncle Zsolt was there embracing baby Anna in his arms and you can see he gave her a warm ‘Birthday Kiss’ on her forehead;)
Ruth said,
Bounce, bounce, bounce – cute cozy feet.
valery said,
what a tender photo, I never imagined a day theme like that. Great
lynn said,
ah! this is so funny
Olivier said,
tu as une superbe vue depuis le balcon de ton université. tres belle photo de nuit et bravo pour les couleurs.
you have a superb sight since the balcony of your university. very beautiful photograph of night and cheer for the colors.
Ruth said,
That’s a magnetic blue.
Keropok said,
very soon, the baby will be out of that and start running!
alice-d56 said,
Very nice night view! For the proverb, in French, we say:” La vérité sort de la bouche des enfants”, or “Truth always comes out of the children’s mouth”. Have a nice week end, Zsolt.
Kate said,
Indeed it is beautiful. I’d stay late just to see this view!!
jing said,
:))
beautiful night view from your work place.
oooh, zsolt, i begin to envy you.

hee hee…the blue Dona…i still remember that photo.

Ame said,
WOW! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL shot Zsolt! I’d stand and stare at that all night if I got the chance! Love your “below the waist” shot too…cute! I sure remember the days of those little “walkers!” =)
Meg said,
These are the cutest feet that appeared on Theme Day, guys.
isabella said,
Stunning, and yes, a bit reminiscent of Paris…
In the US, the saying goes: “out of the mouths of babes”.
Meg said,
And you ARE in the home of paprika, aren’t you? This looks so tasty.
Meg said,
Fascinating video clip. It must be about the man in the white suit, I think. Great capture.
sophieandersen said,
Gorgeous photo–great reflections!
Eric at Paris Daily Photo said,
I’m a little late getting around to all of the blogs, but wanted to be sure and leave you a comment. This is very clever, and the “person” is not what I would have imagined. Excellent choice!
Mimmu said,
Hello Zannnie,
have this your journey been the reward :) ?
I would like too be in “Blueland” for shopping. I think, I could find
nice things to my three granddaughters from there !
Have a nice Sunday,you two, Zannnie and Zsolt.
Olivier said,
Belle boutique, j’aime beaucoup la poupée bleue en bas à gauche.
Bon dimanche, je voterais bien pour le C.
Beautiful shop, I like much the blue headstock in bottom on the left. Good Sunday, I would vote well for C.

i would guess that the witchy-looking dollie caught your attention..
have a nice Sunday, you guys….

Lachezar said,
The way you spent your day makes me truly jealous! I Like your photo, and, I’m sure is the doll!
Lachezar said,
I’d stay late night for a view like this too! I like how it fills the night with glowing light.
Beautiful photograph!
Zsolt72 said,
Thank you for the nice comments and for the proverbs. Unfortunatelly in the last few days I couldn’t see your sites ..which i miss a lot…because of technical problems.:(
kris said,
my guess is logo of the shop ?
am glad that you’ve finally tasted a better langosh. The standard seems to vary from stall to stall..some its down right dissapointing. Try a hidden shop at “lehel piac ” that’s one shop that i like in BP.
oh, Happy 100th post!! looking forward to more
Ruth said,
What I can think of is “you have to stop and smell the roses.”
I think you are going to post a closeup of the logo. It caught my eye too, and I want to see it bigger. :)
Ting said,
Nice picture and the horse really looks “handsome”…
I’d like to experience the coach as well some day…
Ting said,
I just had a thought about your daily proverb…
I don’t know much about horses, but I was told that one of the ways to find out the age of the horses is by looking at its mouth. I am not sure how it works, but I believe that the teeth of horses are the key elements to tell the horses’ age. Anyway back to your proverb, if someone gives me a horse as a gift, and I go check its age straight away, it will be impolite, therefore, I guess that the proverb means:”be grateful for any horse (no matter if it is old or young) we are given, as we are not paying for it.” (something like that).
I’ve got a simple phase to share with you:”where there is an oppression, where there is a resistance.” I learnt this from college. I always keep it in mind, becasue I think it is a good one.
jing said,
to ride on the carriage is like some romantic things as for me.
:))
i think i am also very happy to ride the carriage to have a nice trip too….
but how about to have a pumpkin carriage???;)
Victoria said,
Everyone looks so happy in this photo…even the carriage driver! Wonderful shot.
Kate said,
Being childlike is a gift and to be welcomed. Children have a sense of wonder, and I love it!
Olivier said,
j’adorerais conduire une caleche. A central parc (à NYC) j’aime bien faire un tour en caleche, on a l’impression de vivre dans une autre epoque, le temps d’une promenade.
I would adore to drive a barouche. With exchange park (with NYC) I like to make a turn in the barouche, one has the impression to live in another time, the time of a walk.
Faye Pekas said,
I agree, this would be fun. Even the driver is smiling and waving. It looks cold there though.
alice-d56 said,
101th post? Very nice photo.
Zsolt72 said,
yes Alice:) this is the post N.101! at the 1001th I will tell you a tale:)
Ben said,
Congratulations for your 100th post! I’m looking froward your next 100, 1000 and more.
kris said,
good and fun way to travel around. also giving the children treasurable memories :)
Jackie said,
We have an almost identical proverb here in the UK – “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”.
Keropok said,
Happy 100th post! Happy Holidays too! When are you coming back to Singapore? haha….
isabella said,
Have you ever experienced kulig? It’s a horse carriage ride through the deep-snowed countryside. Yes, you freeze your buns, but what exhilaration! Those are the best memories from my childhood – thanks for the reminder!
photowannabe said,
Let’s hope we can all keep that child-like wonder of everyday things. I enjoy being that way with my grandkids.
We have the same proverb in the US as the UK.
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. I really never thought about the actual meaning of the saying before.
Zannnie said,
mimmu,
yes it’s been a very rewarding trip;) i’m still in the midst of it though…
This blueland folklore shop has very interesting items, mostly handmade and all in blue material;) I’m sure you will find something for your grandchildren:)
Thank you so much for your kind greetings!:) you have a great week ahead too!!
Olivier,
The blue logo looks pretty cool actually, but my i first saw ….. (pls check my coming post dated 5th Dec;))
Jing,
it’s not the witchy-looking dollie….you have a great week ahead too!:)
Lachezar,
It looks like you can tell from the photos how a nice time we had at Szentendre;)
Thank you for your comments about the photo;)
Kris,
I like the logo, but it didn’t catch my first attention;)
We’ll go check it out the hidden ”Lehel Piac” maybe one of these days ;) when are you coming here for the langosh you like in BP?
Ruth,
Nice proverb, and yes, it’s sometimes good to stop a little while…to appreciate the little things around…hmmm very nice!;)
Ben,
Thank you, my 100th post will be coming soon, in about 2 weeks time;)…wow!
Keropok,
Thank you….I’ll keep you posted;)

Zannnie said,

ohh, it’s not hot, just the appearance is made to look appetising;)
do take care of your skin…
萝卜青菜，各有所爱…yes it’s a nice proverb that means about the same as the one on my post;) Thank you…
Lachezar,
Thank you, you are a great supporter, Lachezar;)
Lisi,
it really looked and smelled really good:) Satay tastes different…
Olivier,
i love baguette too! In Singapore, my favourite is the Delifrance baguette;) with chicken mayonaise, yum
Keropok,
”ta pow” is not so good becos my flight takes more than 18+hours!! maybe i’ll learn the ’secret recipe’;) or you can try it here on your trip to Budapest;) didn’t you told Zsolt that you are coming soon?
Denton,
Did you manage to find the label? Yes the Hungarian goulash is with lots of paprika;)
I like the similar proverb you’ve wrote, and it’s true;)
photowannabe,
Thank you….i’m learning each time too;)
have a great week ahead!
Abigail,
Are you coming to Budapest also? Let us know;)
Jazzy,
In case you are visiting Budapest, these delicious skewers can be found at Vörösmarty tér
I like the proverb that you’ve shared: ‘even on the same pillow a man and a woman dream differently’ ;)
kris,
Try the paprika powder, don’t worry, it’s not that hot at all. We recognise the asian foodfare with the colours, but even trying the ‘reddish coloured Hungarian soup’ called ‘Gulyás’ with extra lots of paprika powder, its still didn’t satisfy my ’spicy hot’ craving….
Meg,
yes, i’m in the HOME of Paprika;)
Zannnie said,
Lachezar,
congrats that you can!!!:)
Olivier,
yes the mezzanine is really interesting with the hungarian folklore too;)
Isabella,
:) it’s a very special looking market, you will like the marketing experience too…
Jing,
说话是人生的需要，听话是人生的艺术 is a very good proverb to go along:)
Thanks!!
kris,
sometimes i am quiet 沈默是金, most of the time I am listener;)
photowannabe,
Make new friends and keep the old, one is silver and the other gold.yes…you should come and shop for things you are looking for your grandchildren…!! Lots of handmade items…
Mimmu,
yes, the railings are very amazing for a ‘market place’…most of all, it’s also a local marketing place, not just for tourist;)
Cathie,
Yes, we should speak when it is appropriate;) sometimes silence is really golden!
Zannnie said,
kris,
oh, was there a guard? we snapped a few though…;p
perhaps you must come with us the next time;)
jing,
bananas?:) you like bananas?:)
jazzy,
yes, the langosh though heavy but at times it can cause ‘cravings’ too ;p
the prices are very very reasonable;)
keropok,
yes,and the items are all neatly arranged:)
james,
;) Thank you…
Kate,
yes, it’s very wide aisle and clean;)
Meg,
You’ll see some folk art booth photos soon on this DP;)
sophieandersen,
thanks!

I hope they will build a new comprehensive market in Beijing for more convenience soon….
Lachezar said,
We have the same in Bulgaria:
“Do not count the teeth of a gift horse”
I like the photo too!
cheers!

Hi there. What a beautiful view!!! What is beter than seeing that wonderful icon, sharing it with friends and music…

tres belle perspective sur cette photo. et j’aime beaucoup ce proverbe, c’est tellement vrai dans le monde des DP.
very beautiful prospect on this photograph. and I like much this proverb, it is so true in the world of the DP.
photowannabe said,
I would like to have this mini wheelbarrow in my yard too. Very nice colors and textures.
We have the same proverb in the US.
Giu said,
what a beautiful perspective!!!
valery said,
That image is so of a town, it’s not common in the big cities. Nature moves to another place.
Good photo
Ting said,
Nice picture. It will be interesting to know more about the custom on 5 Dec in Hungary. What made it so special that children put their clean boots by the window?
jing said,
its not easy to find a good perspective to shoot the street view.
this one is wonderful….
:))
and here is the last proverb for yesterday.
情人眼里出西施(qing2 ren2 yan3 li3 chu1 xi1 shi1)
its meaning is the same as what people said in english.
(in literally: qing2 ren1= lover, yan3=eyes, yan3 li3=in one’s eyes,in one’s mind, chu1=here means have, xi1 shi1=a name of an ancient beauty.)
jing
Olivier said,
deja la fin des proverbes, dommage c’etat une superbe idée.

already end of the proverbs, damage it state a superb idea. very beautiful photograph of night, the lights are very beautiful. the church on the left, is very beautiful.
Keropok said,
What’s the name of the church? Nice shot at 4 pm. 4 pm in Singapore’s super bright!
alice-d56 said,
Hello Zsolt and thank you for all these sentences full of wisdom. I think Hungarian children are looking forward to this day of the year. In Eastern France (for example in Nancy where my daughter lives) Saint Nicolas is very important too, but here, in Western France, nobody cares…
Kate said,
We don’t clean our boots (don’t own them), but my children and my grandchildren still put their shoes out for St. Nic. It”s not a widespread nor common practice in US, but if families like mine have done it for generations, it continues. When I taught school I always had treats for this day. Love it! Comes from my German, Italian, and French heritage, I guess.
Lisi said,
typical northern countries winter sky…but the image is nice!
photowannabe said,
I never heard of this tradition before. In fact I didn’t know about St. Nic’s Eve in the US either. I love learning about these things from the photoblogs.
Holiday Greetings.

jing said,

Zsolt72 said,
Thank you for the nice comments..:)
I will write about the Santa tradition more on my Chaoren site soon so Ting and everyone who is interested can read about it.
I am very happy with the proverbs “under my belt” (again a new expression I learned Kris):)…and
I decided that some later I will continue to collect them. Just step by step:) We suffered a lot with the layout because I wanted to insert Jing’s great characters in any case..but with Denton’s help we could manage it. Thank you Denton..now the proverbs are so beautiful with the Chinese characters.
Jing..I will add your new proverb to the list..and pls pls collect more of them to me..and when I start again my collection pls do not hesitate to send them.:)
I wish you all a wonderful day..now I run to have my lecture.
kris said,
the scene is inviting..i wanna stuff them sausages in my mouth!
Lachezar said,
Amazing light and colours you managed to capture Zsolt! Fantastic photo.
And a quite a good collection of proverbs!
All the best

very convivial photograph, one wants to take part and also eat sausages in it. beautiful photograph of end of evening

Although I can’t really see the food, my imagination goes wild.
Thanks for that!
Cheers

Food and friends. What a great combination. The video food looks tasty. Yummm…

Andrea…és milyen finom volt!!:)
Meg said,
Congratulations on the 100! And like the Anti-Spam says, “Striking!!”
Meg said,
Oh, the costume…. and the decoration on the horse… And the family looking so pleased… I swear, I don’t like cold temperatures, but Christmas is definitely better taking place in the winter. It’s just not the same having champaign and strawberries on the hot beach….
Kate said,
It looks like a dance. What a wonderful photograph. I’m glad that you posted it for our pleasure!
Victoria said,
Very nice shot. It looks as if there is movement in the trees.

Beautiful dancing lights. The coloring is great. Thanks for the holiday picture.

le mot anti-spam d’aujourd’hui c’est “artistic” et je trouve cette photo tres artistique. elle est superbe et cette couleur bleue magnifique. tres belle illumination de noel. j’aime l’epoque ou les arbres sont bleus ;o)
the word anti-spam of today it is “artistic” and I find this photograph very artistic. it is superb and this splendid blue color. very beautiful Christmas lights. I like the time or the trees are blue ;o)
Zannnie said,

How very very beautiful ! The dark blue is magic and the lights are…just right!
ioanna said,
Very nice photo, nice atmosphaire!
Jackie said,
Lovely shot. Glasgow does exactly the same thing with some of its trees along the river bank, I always think they look beautiful, but so far my own photos haven’t been as good as this. Yet!
alice-d56 said,
These trees could be some cousins from those in Sequim (DP blog by Norma) a few days ago . I like when there is only one colour of lights.
About Maria/ Mirjam, Myriam is a quite frequent French fisrt name . Have a nice day in Budapest!
~tanty~ said,
Soo lovely! Love the colors of the lights :)
sophieandersen said,
I really like the intimacy of this photo. Very nice!

Wonderful! I love Christmas lights so much! My best wishes to both authors of this photoblog!

Thank you for this, so splendid. I always love blue at Christmas time.

Charlotte, c’est mignon pour une maison (moi la mienne, elle s’appelle 24B, moi beau) . les couleurs sont magnifiques. Elle ressemble a une maison du sud de la france.
Charlotte, it is nice for a house (me mine, it is called 24B, me beautiful). the colors are splendid. She resembles has a house of the south of France.

Very Christmas-like colours. Really nice and cosy. I think it’s awsome in the snow! Great photo, Zannnie! Have a happy weekend!

Lisi said,
It’s probably the colors but it looks a bit oriental to me :-) and your photo yesterday is lovely!
Kate said,
It looks like a shop, is it? If so, what does it sell? Yes, the vibrant colour is quite eye-catching!
alice-d56 said,
I like very much these high colours on houses, like in Scandinavian countries! This one is a pleasure to the eyes. In Brittany, most of the houses are white and dark blue (because of the slates on the roof), a bit sad when winter is so gray itself. But in our islands like Belle_Ile or Groix, people are encouraged to choose blue, yellow, pink for theirs walls and the result is great! And why Charlotte? Is it the owner’s name?
Ruth said,
I picture colors like this in warmer climates, such as Mexico and the Mediterranean. A nice surprise in Budapest. The roof is great too.
Lachezar said,
An absolutely terrific image Zsolt. I’ll stop here because otherwise I’ll have to write a whole essay about it.
You have a good Sunday too!
Lachezar
Lachezar said,
I’m so envious of cities with good Christmas decoration. They are truly beautiful.
In your image however the lights floating in the night seem to take a life of their own, dreamlike, out of this world…
Cheers!

I like this building with the strong “men” holding the pillars. It looks like an official type building.
Zannnie said,
Kate,
Thank you…:) it has very outstanding colours around this area:) within the III.District
Jing,
nope, not Zsolt nor Zannnie:) heh heh…
Olivier,
Yes, it really looked very wonderful with these colours. Actually while taking this photo, it was very very misty and foggy around this area. I was glad this photo colours turned out well…I will show you how misty it was of this morning:) in another post…
Kala,
Glad you like it too:)
photowannabe,
yes, they looked really ‘manly’ and some even very sexy with this olden days ‘costume’, i’ve always like to pause and ”watch” these ’strong men’ as the pillars details than the ‘women ones’ especially when they are in holding posture;) very MANLY…!
alice-d56 said,
Colossal entry! And very nice colors. Perhaps a sort of town hall?
Ame said,
Zsolt…this is an absolutely AMAZING shot….what a light display…and the color? WOW WOW WOW!!!! Can’t get much better than! That must have taken an eternity to do…and the lights are so close together…they didn’t skimp on making each trunk totally covered! NEAT! =)

Hi. It’s very odd that I found your site, but I’m very glad I did. I am a Canadian of Hungarian descent who now lives in Egypt, and I love to take photos myself. Mine is not a comment about Varoshaza, but I just wanted to make contact. I was doing a search on St. Barbara in Hungary, knowin that St. Barbara was the patron saint of the school which my uncles (whom I never knew) attended in Hunary when they were young, and I found your site. Thanks.

But when you got to the other site of a street, can you tell, what are these pillars there?
Have a nice day!

Dont worry guys I can run fast..and I take care when I take photos:)

Incredible moment you caught, in a perfect photo. Always “frozen” in time now. :)

I like the soft focused branches and the clock behind. There is definetly a story attached to the picture.
I’m sorry I’m not up on my movies.

that is a trully great phto Zsolt, how did you get the clock so sharp trough the branches, very interesting.

know exactly what u mean, Zsolt. We were walking the street this morning and the church clock stroke at 12noon. Time to go for lunch!

What a lovely picture. I have seen that movie – it’s way to stumg und drang for my tastes.

word anti-spam of the comment “dramatic”. that goes very well with your photograph. superb this photograph under the fog with this tree with far. cheer
alice-d56 said,
Very nice, Zannie, but now you must have a cup of tea or something stronger (!) in a warm place, for example the café Zsolt showed us a few weeks ago, with a blaze in the fireplace!
kris said,
yes, zannie..quite mood, right?! I’m lazy to put on the boots and all to go out :s

OK, it’s starting to look like what I’d imagine Europe ’should’ a week before Christmas! Well done, Budapest.

mmm…look at his face..,oh ,face part….we have to use the imagination, that maybe the sculptor wanted to mentioned that to write the wonderful wrtings, imagination is necessary??
ooo….wonderful sculpture!

have a nice weekend.
tr3nta said,
great to be an anonymous and have a monument…
interesting to find about hungary history…
Lachezar said,
Very calm and beautiful, serene atmosphere. mysterious without a face.
Kate said,
Is there evidence that the writer was male? Might it have been a woman?? When was the book published–perhaps the time was not right for a woman to acknowledge authorship? Intriguing story and statue.
Susan in Atlanta said,
Good point Kate!
The statue makes me think of The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.:
photowannabe said,
That’s an interesting thought Kate, it would make sense to be anonymous then.
I like the cold gray sculpture and the warm background leaves. Very nice.
jazzy said,
wow what a great photo, looks like a scene from Amadeus movie (minus cars), very impressive Zannnie.
jazzy said,
the statue truly looks mysterious, almost scary to me. i like the touch with the flowers, was that you that put it there for the sake of art ;) (just joking)
have a great weekend.

great idea for the statue: unknown person, unknown face. great photo too!

Whouaououou! That’s great! I love fog! Is magic! Very nice shot!
ioanna said,
What a statue! And the flowers? Who put them there? Atmosferic and misterious picture! I like it very much!
Zsolt said,
thank you for the nice comments….
There is a theory that Anonymus was a well known bishop who published his writings under this “name”. If its so anonymus was a man. But of course is possible it was a woman and it would have been more interesting:) In the XIIth Century most likely women couldnt get into a position like this…but who knows. Maybe she was named anonymus to cover the fact she was a female.
It was not me who put the flowers there:) I found it there when I took the photo…someone probably felt to give this gift to him (her).
Ruth said,
Yes, it’s well crafted and appealing. I can see why you wanted to stop and stare.
I love the statue in your last post! Wow, so mysterious. (Sorry, I’m being lazy, posting a comment about both posts here. I’m on dialup on the weekend at home, so it is very s-l-o-w.)
Kate said,
Yes, the building is superb,and I too would like to see it photographed during the day.

i’ll have to recharge my cards to go in ..too post for me!

typo – i meant “posh”
Susan in Atlanta said,
Except for the flour….that is “French Toast.” We cover it with maple syrup and eat it for breakfast.

from the photos, the bread looks like the roasted chicken~~~
:))
have the nice meal, zannnie!!

Olivier said,
merci pour la recette. a noter et a essayer.
thank you for the receipt. has to note and has to test.
Keropok said,
Yeah, the pictures does look like fried chicken or nuggets. Hmmm maybe Zannnie can prepare it for a possible Singapore DP meet. hehe….
alice-d56 said,
Well, well, but what did Zannie say? That is the question…
jazzy said,
well done Zsolt. i hope Zannnie liked it and both of you had a nice time munching on these tasty Bundáskenyér (how do you pronounce it).
you made enough for the whole DP family =)
great colours.
Kate said,
It sounds delicious, and very much like cholesterol heaven!!
Lisi said,
Hi Jamie…oh I mean Zsolt, nice food pix…and thanks for coming by at HKDP, I’ve finally done with the assignment and am catching up on DP blogs :-)
photowannabe said,
I love Jaimie Oliver. He makes things look so easy. The bread dish sounds very much like our breakfast dish called French Toast. One of my favorites with maple syrup over it. Yummmm.
Dawn said,
We also know it as french toast, but also leave out the flour and it is mainly eaten for breakfast. Yours look delicious, hope you enjoyed it
Dawn said,
I have been away on summer vacation for two weeks and are now catching up. When I saw this shot I immediately looked in my photo album and found basically the same picture I took when I visited Budapest in 2000. On my shot however, the bunch of flowers are missing – suppose it was put there for a special occasion. I remember that the park in which the statue is situated is beautiful and as we visited it on a Sunday morning, we went to a little chapel nearby where we listened to a performance by a local organist. After that we went to the nearby Gundel restourant for crepes and coffee. Thank you for refreshing my memories and taking me back on memory lane. Hope to visit your beautiful city again in my life.
Zannnie said,
Ohh, it was very lovely and delicious ‘Bundáskenyér’ brunch (BReakfast-lUNCH);) heh heh, I still dunno how to pronounced the name yet:)
Verdict: 8/10
Maybe i had overrated it, but somehow the Hungarian ‘Jamie Olivier’ (a.k.a Zsolt) made it tasted ”very Hungarian” to me; Eating it together with fresh tomatoes sprinkled lightly with salt makes it taste very special ;) you all must try it!
Susan in Atlanta said,
I thought it was a real person when I first saw it! Such unusual statues. I am wondering how they can stay stable with only the little feet as a base for all the rest of bronze? Seems like a strong wind would do them damage. Yet, there they still stand for 20 years.
Thanks so much for the video…it was almost like being there!
Kate said,
Oh, thank you for showing us the photo and the video. Remarkable; I love it!!
Carol said,
I love the photo, and the video was great! I felt like I was in Budapest for just a moment.

At first, I thought it was you, Zannie, frozen by the hungarian winter! Phew…it was a statue! And the video is very nice, like a real walk in “Old Buda”.

Zsolt, I like these statues, I think I’d seen them when I visited Budapest in 1999!

I love this statue! It just embodies the spirit of Magyaroroszag (Hungary) to me!
My husband and I lived in BP for a couple of years and this statue was his favorite! In fact we have a large photo of this statue in the snow on our wall!
Beautiful, thanks for the reminder!

The composition, subjects, colours, and flowers make this a very appealing photo. The flowers cheer me!
Carlos Lorenzo said,
Wonderful art for a door.
Carlos Lorenzo said,
Nice perspective and colors. I agree that it is the flowers under the gray skies of winter what is so attractive and refreshing in this picture.
Bill said,
I love the misty quality and high contrast in this shot. Good job!
Bill said,
What I find interesting is that cars can get that close. In Washington DC, you can no longer drive up to monuments, you must walk in. In Delta, we don have many of this nature :)
photowannabe said,
I like the composition of new car and old monument. The colors of the flowers brighten my day.

Gerald said,
Ah so gald you manage to emulate Lisi and Edwin’s bauble shots. My attempt was pretty miserable but I was using my second-best camera in poor light and indoors. Lisi said I needed to use natural light and no flash. I notice this one is outside. I took my best camera down town today but there isn’t a big tree with baubles outside to attempt the shot with.
All the best from Hyde.
Annie said,
I learned a new phrase today – bauble shot – and now I’m going to try taking one of my own.
Yours is very nice. Merry Christmas, Zannie, and Happy New Year too.
alice-d56 said,
Your idea is so nice! Merry Christmas to you, Zannie and Zsolt!

You two have a great Christmas, and eat lots of Hungarian Christmas treats.

Festive greetings from Sydney!

A very harth worming post.
Have a very good Christmas!
Lachezar said,
PS
Sorry for the misspelling :) is late night here in NZ and it was meant to be heartwarming
Cheers!
Denton said,
Merry Christmas Zannnie and Zsolt … Zannnie I am happy that you had such a heartwarming Christmas experience. Your photo and explanation share this wonderful experience with the world.
Denton said,
PS: Zannnie I have added a link to your December 23rd “Christmas Greetings from Budapest” on my post today along with several others who have posted photos of shiny baubles.

Olivier said,
souvent en France, les embouteillages sont de l’autre cotè, car les gens s’arretent pour regarder ;o(
often in France, the congestions are the different one dimensioned, because people stop to look at ;o(
lavenderlady said,
What a vivid picture! Would loved to have been on the meal. Best wishes for a Happy New Year!
Keropok said,
these jams happens whevener it rains in Singapore…
kris said,
that is common sight back home, with or without accident ..and always there’re “wise guys” around to teach us a tip or two!
Denton said,
I grew up in a small town where if a traffic accident occurred it was the talk of the town with much concern and interest expressed. Then I moved to a big city and sadly traffic accidents became a delay in my schedule with much less concern for the welfare of those involved. Is the same true in Budapest?
We also have what Oliver mentioned. Traffic jams caused by rubber neckers.
katjusha said,
i agree, hungarian paprika is the best :)
merry christmas and happy new year…..
jazzy said,
hope you didn’t have to wait for a long time.
Kala said,
This photo is soooooooooooooooooooo NICE!!! WOW – wish I could have been there with you all – it is just a grand view! I’m looking forward to your next photo. =)
Kala said,
so cute! The little hands that makes all the difference in this world – lovely indeed! Happy Holidays!
Susanne in Key West said,
I had nothing than traffic jams when I visited Budapest!! :-)) Special dowm by the Danube….But the good part of a jam is: you have time enough to look around in that magnificant city. I love Budapest!
Denton said,
The river is also famous for as the “Blue Danube”. Wikipedia says “The Blue Danube is the common English title of An der schönen blauen Donau op. 314 (On the Beautiful Blue Danube), a waltz by Johann Strauss the Younger, composed in 1867.
Your photo is beautiful and very blue.
Olivier said,
cette vue et cette photo sont magnifique. cette couleur bleue est vraiment tres belle, bravo.
this sight and this photograph are splendid. this blue color is really very beautiful, cheer.
photowannabe said,
I was going to mention the “Blue Danube” too like Denton did. This is a magical picture of a beautiful looking place. Very nice composition.
Nathalie said,
Glad you had such a beautiful Christmas.
Home-made delicacies and a real tree make all the difference, don’t they?
Nathalie said,
Beautiful blues Zannnie !
Gerald said,
Thanks for the video link. I don’t think those two girls walking down the pavement were too happy at all the cars driving so close!

I’ve seen this river in Vienna. It’s beautiful. You’re so lucky to see it each day!

Keropok said,
So, it’s a river that cross many countries. How interesting!
Denton said,
I laughed at your use of “Pest and Buda” … Your photo is very good. And your explanation is great. I enjoyed both. thank you.
Zannnie said,
Oh…it’s a familiar Waltz tune, to everyone I’m sure!! I read Denton’s and Keropok man’s comments on the Blue Dunabe post yesterday and I found this:
sophieandersen said,
wonderful perspective!

Zannie, Zsolt, joining Daily Photo and meeting both of you (online) have been one of my highlights of 2006. So I wish you all the best for 2007 and may all your wishes come true as well! All the best
John said,
Amazing photo. Looking forward to many more, have a great New Year.
Meg said,
This one is almost shocking, Zsolt! Spring right after Christmas this year, maybe, or spring at the start of 2007!
Anyway, I hope you have a great start to an even greater year, and look forward to more beautiful pictures (and some of your nieces) from Budapest in the coming year.

Beautiful choice! I’ve really enjoyed your work, and look forward to more exceptional photos from you in 2007!
Happy New Year from Minneapolis!
Kim said,
Zannie, if it wasn’t for his bad ambachure I wouldn’t have thought at first he was a wax figure. Really great shot, and I love the door hinges in the background. Nice composition, and very interesting subject.
-Kim
Kim said,
This is such an exciting photo! You really know how to end the year with a beyond cool photo that packs a big POW!!!! Kudos!
Kim said,
You must be so proud of the lighting in this photo. This must have been a challenge to capture so beautifully. A tribute to your skills and great eye(s). I enjoy your work(s) and look forward to seeing more of beautiful Budapest this year. Happy New Year to you both!
-Kim
Kate said,
Heralding in the new year??
Bill said,
Nice shot. Have a great New Year!
Jenny said,
A wonderful shot. The ” anti-spam” word I had to type in this comment was “glowing” – it’s a perfect word to describe this photo! Happy New Year – here’s to more wonderful photos and more new friends in 2007.
Olivier said,
tres beaux personnages en cire, on pourrait se croire au musée Grevin de Paris
very beautiful wax characters, one could believe oneself in the Grevin museum of Paris
ioanna said,
Just wonderful! Have a happy year!
Mimmu said,
These figures are really more alive than the figure in my post today, but “sculptors” have
different age and experiences, I think:)
Have a happy year 2007 Zannnie and Zsolt!
macky said,
Oh, surprising. He looks alive!
A happy new year in 2007 from Tokyo:-))
ps. I’d be happy to enjoy the book, Zsolt:-)
Candice & Megan said,
Stunning! Happy New Year from Houston Daily Photo!
photowannabe said,
At first glance I thought they were real. Wonderful color and action shot.
I am enjoying your blog and look forward to many more posts this new year.
Keropok said,
As the antispam word says, Unique!
Hmm it looks like those paper boats origami that i can fold! haha…
Keropok said,
he must have a great huge lung to blow a trumpet!
Olivier said,
Superbe, la photo la plus surprenante de la journée et la plus drole.
c’est une tres bonne idee et une tres bonne publicité.
mais est ce vraiment du papier ? ;o)
Superb, the photograph more surprising the day, and funniest. it is a very good idea and a very good publicity. but is this really paper? ;o)
~tanty~ said,
I was about to say what Keropok has said. My anti-spam word is great :)
photowannabe said,
My anti-spam is gorgeous, I can’t say this is gorgeous but its very unique. It seems to be a wonderful advertising tool.
kris said,
yes! slager radio is tuned permanently on our radio . I would love to be able to make a paperboat as big as this !
Carlos Lorenzo said,
This is a very good capture. What is it made of? Wood or metal, of course it can’t be paper in spite of being a paperboat. Both designs are beautiful. Happy New Year Zsolt.
Kate said,
Great night shot. Go to Minneapolis’ blog to see another bridge with reflections.
Lara said,
Happy New Year to both of you! I was thinking of you when passing Budapest by train, on my way to Vienna.
dutchie said,
Wow, well done on this night shot!!
Olivier said,
le mot anti-spam est ‘Great’. il est bien choisi, car ta photo est MAGNIFIQUE. superbe photo de nuit et les couleurs sont tres belles. Bravo
the word anti-spam is “Great”. it is quite selected, because your photograph is SPLENDID. superb photograph of night and the colors are very beautiful. Cheer
Gerald said,
What an interesting sign.
kris said,
hey, that’s a first for me. Thanks for sharing, Zsolt!
James said,
this is really funny, thanks for sharing it.
James said,
I guess churches and sailboats don’t mix. Who knew?
Is this church near a highway (motorway)?
photowannabe said,
One would have to have a really big parking lot (marina) for boats. I guess that’s why they say no. I never saw a sign like that before.
Olivier said,
c’est la premiere fois que je vois ce panneau (en plus devant une eglise). panneau vraiment surprenant
it is the first time that I see this panel (in more in front of one church). panel really surprising
sophieandersen said,
A beautiful night scene. The lights are awesome!
Keropok said,
wow, one thing for sure, i have never seen a no anchor sign before this!
Olivier said,
prise de vue surprenante et originale. on pourrait croire que tu l’as prise en etant dans un ULM pendant un virage. bravo
catch of surprising and original sight. one could believe that you took it while being in a ULM during a turn. cheer
Vic said,
pretty…. pretty..
Kate said,
You alraedy are royalty on the blogs. Had to post one more time before I fly away tomorrow.
Eric at Paris Daily Photo said,
It’s a beautiful picture. I don’t understand what you call the day of Attila? Do you celebrate Attila in Hungary? Is that a holiday?! Here in France he is know for being a terrible man!
Hettie said,
I added your blog to my blogroll. Looking forward to seeing lots of great photos.
Eric: No special feast day for Attila. That kind of stuff is reserved for saints. Attila wasn’t even a Christian. Every day of the year has a name or names associated with it. Like there is an Eric day too. People congratulate you and buy you a drink or give you a card.
Lisi said,
I think this is a beautiful photo…the view is great and I would like to see a close up of those decorations dangling from the horse…
Sally said,
Ah, zsolt…a classic Budapest shot. Gorgeous. Have you got any of baths eg Gellert on your blog?
Olivier said,
sous le charme, photo magnifique, avec une superbe lumiere
under the charm, splendid photograph, with a superb light
isabella said,
Great photo! Happy name day to your dad!
Olivier said,
belle photo de paysage, mais il faisait pas tres beau ce jour là.
beautiful photograph of landscape, but the weather was not very nice there this day.
isabella said,
Lovely, but does the Duna ever flood?
Ruth said,
I would love to live by the water too.
Meg said,
Don’t worry, you are a prince among bloggers!
Meg said,
What a funny sign indeed. Is this on the street, or by the river??
Meg said,
Yes I remember the previous shot. It looks like Origami.
Meg said,
I seriously thought this was a guy with a horrible makeup.
photowannabe said,
Beautiful country and a lovely, inviting photo.
Olivier said,
cette photo de nuit de ce monument est superbe. un plaisir a regarder.
this photograph of night of this monument is superb. a pleasure has to look at.
kris said,
i dont pretend to be a artistic person, but going inside give the most wonderful feeling.
Nice photo!
James said,
These trees ate great. I like them with the roof and chimney profile.
Keropok said,
it would be nice to go inside and take a look… :-)
alice-d56 said,
January really looks like March everywhere…A mad winter.
Olivier said,
superbe ciel et belle photo. les arbres resortent tres bien.
superb sky and beautiful photo. the trees arise very well.
Lara said,
Great colours! In here feels like spring too. But I have to admit that I miss the snow!
kris said,
fingers crossed for snow soon..likely?
Curly said,
What a magnificent art gallery Zolte, and a fine night time exposure too.
Keropok said,
well, yamahas are built to last. LOL
Olivier said,
tres bon comme post. on voit qu’il met tout son coeur sur sa moto. un futur Valentino Rossi ;o)
very good like post. it is seen that it puts all its heart on its motor bike. a future Valentino Rossi; O)
sophieandersen said,
Love this composition…especially the colors. Beautiful capture.
photowannabe said,
Looks like he is on a fantastic imaginary trip to somewhere. Nice composition and colors.
It reminds me of my son at that age. He would ride on his rocking horse with all his might like he was on a trip and needed to get there fast.
kris said,
:) i like the photo very much, you caught the moment!
somehow i have doubt that winter is leaving us..
James said,
I loved this tower. It’s so incredible. When I was there, I was taking loads of pictures and there were two newly weds having their photos taken (in full wedding dress and suit, etc.). There was a random dog running around and the couple came up to me to ask if they could pose with the dog with this tower in the background. Although it wasn’t mine, they eventually used it. The tower provided a beautiful backdrop to anything.
photowannabe said,
That castle looks magical and i think maybe repunzel lived there. Nice shot. Thanks for sharing.
Annie said,
I was never particularly interested in dolls either but I loved the story of Rapunzel. Perhaps you and I are both romantics at heart, but not caregivers.
Olivier said,
C’est la tour de la belle au bois dormant. belle photo.
It is the tower of Sleeping Beauty. beautiful photograph.
Lara said,
Wonderful view!
Joseph Vas said,
I enjoy looking at the daily picture very much since finding your site. My Father is Hungarian. I have spent alot of time in Budapest and some of the villages around The Balaton. I miss Hungary and Budapest very much when I am not there but your pictures take me there a little each day. Thank you.
Joseph
Meg said,
Hee hee, so cute.
Meg said,
Just like in the picture books, eth? I like your new profile photo, too, Zannnie.
Zsolt said,
Hello Cris,
If i can see well your family name is Ös. I simple tried to check it in the phonebook but written like Ös I didnt find any families there. But I find 4 families with the name Öss. Their address is public in the phonebook, here is the link of the phonebook:
http://www.magyartelekom.hu/english/main.vm
John, Joseph…thank you for your comments…I am glad you like to visit my site:)
Matthieu said,
As a boy, I did not play with dolls but if I had the opportunity, I would certainly have hidden myself in this castle.
photowannabe said,
What a beautiful skyline. The patina on the spires make them so lovely. Your city is beautiful.
kris said,
that was one of the questions i had when i arrived in BP, how come modern buildings are built horizontally ? isnt it costly?..thanks to your post I do have the answer.
I remember reading in Budapest sun about some new high-rise buildings, but cant find the link now
Olivier said,
toutes tes photos donnent envie de faire une ballade dans budapest.
Cette photo est magnifique, la vue, la lumiere. a faire en poster
all your photographs give desire for making a ballade in Budapest. This photograph is splendid, the sight, the light. has to make in poster
Mimmu said,
I agree with others.The skyline is in this way so beautiful and peaceful, not aggressive at all.
Have a nice Sunday in your beautiful city, where I have been only three days and remember
best the river and bridges, the huge church, where we were listening a wonderful concert and where was very good acoustic. This was about twenty years ago, you did not have been born yet :)
photowannabe said,
I think I need to walk there too. Lovely picture. We are having much the same kind of day today. Warm in the sunshine and things are very green instead of brown.
Lachezar said,
Superb landscape, it feels like a painting!
Beautiful!
Lachezar said,
That’s what makes Budapest so unique! With this light and colours you managed snal and preserve a beautiful moment! Thanks for bringing it to us!
Meg said,
I agree with you; it’s special. And the colors do play a big part. (Gosh, that bridge is shiny, though!)
Olivier said,
cela devait etre sympathique de se promener dans ce parc. belle photo, tres bucolique
that was to be sympathetic nerve to walk in this park. beautiful photograph, very bucolic
Bill said,
Cool shot. Check out http://www.deltadailyphoto.com tomorrow for the American version :)
don said,
nice picture. I was in Holland a day just the same like yours.
ming_the_merciless said,
Amazing vista!! Looks like a fairytale village.
Mountainboy said,
The dolls are beautiful but I always find them a little creepy and scary!
Olivier said,
superbe collection de poupées. elles sont superbes, ma mere (qui fait collection) serait jalouse ;o))
superb collection of headstocks. they are superb, my mother (who makes collection) would be jealous; O))
keropok man said,
ya i agree with mountainboy. they are beautiful, but when i get goosebumps when i imagine them coming alive and trying to talk to me. hahaha.. they look so real…
kris said,
your living room must look exotic with all those collection ;)
…psst, i usuall fell asleep during wayang kulit, but the craft itself is Gorgeous !
Lara said,
wise authorities! the spirit of the city should be kept alive, unlike in Bucharest… great photo!
jazzy said,
Hi Zsolt and Zannnie, it’s nice to be back and catch up with all your nice photos
Jess said,
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to make it into the house, grab the camera and get that sunset shot. They fade so fast, you must have really moved! It’s beautiful.
photowannabe said,
That is just beautiful. The colors the stillness. A perfect shot. It suits you to a T. Lots of T’s but I can’t highlight them..
Ben said,
Absolutely! It’s gorgeous!
How was the sushi?

Olivier said,
superbe cette vue, les couleurs sont sublimes. Petite question , tu comptes nous faire tous l’alphabet ? ;o)

James said,
Terrific
Denton said,
Terrific post and play with HTML.
photowannabe said,
Yes from your profile photo I can tell you look like a dangerous thief…haha…hope you enjoyed the water anyway. Sometimes that just hits the spot.
Oh, yes nice closeup of your drink.
santy said,
looks like a fun way to drink water!
oh and yesterday’s shot was fantastic! how was the sushi feast? I’m a sushi lover too :)
Ame said,
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo WOWEE! LOVE IT ZANNIE…GORGEOUS! Now I really can’t decide which one to use on my desktop…yours or Matthieu’s (Cherbourg) or Neorelix (Cambridge’s)….AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! LOL! Nice work! ;)
mandy said,
This is the second sunset picture I’ve seen this morning — I never tire of them.
Olivier said,
tu dois avoir une tete de personne honnete (et ton appareil photo a impressioné le serveur) ;o) c’est plustot sympathique
you must have a head of anybody honest (and your camera impressed the waiter); O) it is plustot sympathetic nerve
navin harish said,
Very nice shot. Amazing details

Louz said,
She’s certainly elegant and graceful. Very nice!
Olivier said,
superbe, l’ombre de l’arbre est tout simplement magnifique. bravo pour tes photos
superb, the shade of the tree is quite simply splendid. cheer for your photographs
Nathalie said,
Beauty indeed, Zsolt: These two sunset shots are absolutely spectacular !!!!
I really like the water glass too. There’s something magic about it !
Keropok said,
makes me thirsty! :-)
photowannabe said,
Yes , she is quite lovely. I like the way “she” is arranging her hair against the beautiful sunset. Very nice picture.
Ame said,
WOW ZSOLT! GORGEOUS SHOT!
But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Can’t have you & Zannnie flying in bad weather…EEEEEEEK!
Be safe my friend…safe travels…Rome huh? How romantic!
Whatcha gonna do there?
And you KNOW we expect lots of pix!
;)
kris said,
Nice shot! The wind is hitting on our shutters at the moment (Friday 00:29am )
Have a safe journey, Z & Z!
Lisi said,
another nice capture…the clouds and the little opening reminds me of scenes in The Lord of the Rings and the photo is good!
santy said,
fantastic sky shot!!!
but I really hope you have a safe trip.
Olivier said,
ce ciel est vraiment impressionnant, il se preparait une tempete ?
this sky is really impressive, it prepared a storm?
sophieandersen said,
that is a very dramatic sky! Hope your flight isn’t too exciting…..
photowannabe said,
Great shot but a rather scary looking sky. Be safe, we want to see wonderful photos when you return.
Helen said,
Hope the weather behaves itself and that your flight to Rome is uneventful!
Ovelikios said,
I wish you everything to be OK. Nature is beautiful but, sometimes, fierce and unforgiving.
May the blue skies return soon.
Zsolt72 said,
thanks God we arrived to Rome in safety. It was not so stormy in the morning yet (or already) when we departured. And here everything is sunny and shiny in Rome I just go out without wintercoat soon to forget about the enormous storm at home and to enjoy this special city:) I wish you all a wonderful weekend and thanks for your comments.
Keropok said,
looking at the onions makes me wanna eat it! i am sure this dish is wonderful!
mimmu said,
It seems to be delicious to eat even here in the middle of snow :)
Hot spicy could get a warm feeling in -10 degrees Celsius.
Have a nice weekend!
Sally said,
Mmmm, well, I’m not so sure about the chips though!
photowannabe said,
Oh, yummmmm…I love these too. So tasty. Good picture to make our mouths water.
photowannabe said,
Beautiful basilica and a very nice shot. I like how the name maria shows in the picture.
kris said,
Gorgeous photo! the lights fall into right places, good catch
Olivier said,
le mot anti-spam c’est artistic. superbe photo et la basilic est tres belle
the word anti-spam it is artistic. superb photograph and the basilic is very beautiful
macky said,
Great shot! The light is modest and beautiful.
By the way, Hungary is the country of ceramic, Herend, for me.
macky said,
She has many faces and every face is elegant. I like your sence of capturing the nature. Great shot.
ming_the_merciless said,
Very beautiful dome!! The lights coming in through the windows are amazing!!
Bill said,
Very interesting effect.
photowannabe said,
I do like the colors and the composition of this shot.
alice-d56 said,
Very nice and original!
Olivier said,
j’aime beaucoup ces couleurs, on pourrait se croire dans un film de science fiction, un aeroport pour Ovni ;o)
I like much these colors, one could believe myself in a film of science fiction, an airport for Ovni; O)
kris said,
lightsabers are not alllowed in the Jedi conference? cool, indeed
sophieandersen said,
A very cool shot….they do resemble light sabers!
ming_the_merciless said,
What are Hungarian food like? Is goulash a Hungarian cuisine? Please post more photos of your cuisine.
Lessie said,
Beautiful — and great composition
Carol said,
I love impressionism also. This is a nice picture of the Van Gogh display and the museum.
Olivier said,
Impressionnant cette perspective, une lettre, une colonne, la photo est magnifique.
et puis une exposition Van Gogh, quel plaisir, l’un des plus grands genies de tous les temps.
Impressing this prospect, a letter, a column, the photograph is splendid. and then a Van Gogh exposure, which pleasure, one of the greatest geniuses of all times.
jing said,
i like this one. esp. the blue sky…
:)
jing said,
i like those columns…:))
romantic??
historical??
…
Zannnie said,
the Van Gogh exhibition was great! his life story was told through the paintings….i like his works;)
photowannabe said,
The spam word for me is dramatic and that’s perfect for this shot. The meuseum and the banners are very dramatic. Beautifully done for a great artist.
Zsolt72 said,
Jing..to me its rather historical then romantic. But maybe just because near to this museum is a castle which is more romantic to me:)
Olivier said,
avec la lumiere et ta perspective, au debut j’ai pense à une sculpture de sable. superbe rome…la ville des amours
with the light and your prospect, at the beginning I have think of a sand sculpture. superb Rome… the city of the loves
photowannabe said,
Glad you broke the rules and shared the trip to Rome with us. Beautiful night time shot of a magnificent monument.
kris said,
rules are meant to be broken…….
Keropok said,
I want to go there too!
Olivier said,
un seul slogan, meme un seul cri : JE HAIS LES PIGEONS. A Evry ils polluent tous, rendre dans les appartements (oui meme en hiver mes fenetres sont ouvertes toute la journee)….
only one slogan, same only one cry: I HATE THE PIGEONS. In Evry they pollute all, to return in the apartments (yes same in winter my windows are open all the day)….
photowannabe said,
That was the wrong kind of souvenier to bring home. Those birds are such a nusience in our area too. Good capture of that one.
Ame said,
Hi Zannnie…HEY! My security word is GORGEOUS! SERIOUSLY! LOL! ;) Just like this shot…LOVE it…WOW! Like a field of lit swords…almost Lord Of The Rings-ish! ;)
Ame said,
Me too, me too…can I come too! ;) What a neat looking place….bet the exhibition’s AWESOME! ;)
Curly said,
Why do I like this simple picture of an overlarge clog?
It is artistic.
Carol said,
This picture makes me laugh. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a regular shoe with blue paint spilled on it. This is much better!
jing said,
who did steal my clog??
:P
interesting ..i am so curious to put my foot in it….
Zsolt72 said,
Ame, Keropok Man – you are more then welcome! Maybe we can organize a group visit I guess we get a discount:)
Mimmu said,
MOM park – is “the parking place” for tired moms? They could sit down, when their children can run around this place :)
We have in the department stories “Men parks”. When women are shopping, men can read
papers or play with their laptops.
Nice weekend to you!
don said,
hahahaha a shoe of van Gogh. Where is the other one…. somewhere in the city??
Carraol said,
Beautiful colors & good eye.
Olivier said,
on recherche l’ogre qui aurait oublie sa chaussure ;o) impressionnant et tres bonne idee cette exposition. j’adore quand l’art sort du musée.
Je vous souhaite un bon weeck end
one seeks the ogre who would have forgets his shoe; O) impressing and very good idea this exposure. I adore when art leaves the museum. I wish you a good weeck end
ioanna said,
What a cute shot! What a funny situation! I makes me laugh! When i first saw it, i thought that the little boy was sleeping on the huge Van Gong’s shoe! Hi, hi it’s really funny :)
photowannabe said,
I like Oliver’s comment about liking when art leaves the museum. I do too. It exposes everyone to art, even children. Fun sculpture ,great tactile aspect.
Jim Swenerton said,
Looks like an anti terrorist blockade to stop car bombs.
photowannabe said,
I was thinking the same as Jim. The poles are so evenly spaced and look like they surround a park or perhaps the yard in front of the city hall building.
Its a nice bright shot.
lavenderlady said,
Well, gosh, I wouldn’t even have gone there until I read Jim and photo’s comments, but they are dead on. At first I’m trying to think what were they protecting…the plants? Not likely. Geeeze
Keropok said,
is it some memorial stuff? each pole is to commemorate someone?
Oya said,
a wonderful spring picture. kind of governmental building, i would say…
isabella said,
Government building, foreign embassy or…a playground?
Lisi said,
I always like to capture photos like this one! nice shot!
jing said,
:)
very nice colourful photo.
and whats that???
wow…big blue poles…..for ….for…for what????
let me think for a second…..
…
my answer is
….
:P
the caliduct??
cold cold weather here now….:p i need warm weather…warm room. warm clothes….and warm weekend.!!

Mimmu said,
I am happy for you, Zannnie, but I hope, you are not driving without
special studded tyres :) And now you have to learn to walk on icy roads
without falling down.
Joyful snowy days to you!
Gerald said,
and our snow has all melted and gone, but I’ve a few snowy pictures which I’ll be posting over the coming days and weeks. It is still darn cold!
ben said,
This is somehow very humorous. Nice find, and well done!
Zsolt72 said,
The poles are right in front of the US Embassy. And yes…Jim is right they are against car bombs! Congratulation!:)
Mandi said,
Is this a good thing?? Enjoy. :-)
photowannabe said,
Glad the weather has finally caught up with the season. The roads do look slippery though. Be careful.
Olivier said,
vous avez de la chance d’avoir de la neige, ici à Evry toujours rien ;o(.
you have chance to have snow, here in Evry always nothing; O (.
keropokman said,
its slippery, so drive carefully…
alice-d56 said,
Be careful!
Olivier said,
tout est blanc, le ciel, la route..c’est tres beau
all is white, the sky, the road. it is very beautiful
photowannabe said,
Beautiful stillness.Drive carefully, please. Slippery is scary to me.
Curly said,
Ah ha, so we English managed to do something right!
Nice shot.
I’ve changed my URL so you will need to change your links again….sorry!
photowannabe said,
This is a beautiful city and a very dramatic looking bridge. Nice picture from the palace.
Olivier said,
superbe photo, avec une tres belle lumiere. merci pour ton clip
superb photograph, with a very beautiful light. thank you for your clip
ioanna said,
Beautiful Budapest! I must visit it soon!
Beautiful photo with beautiful colors! I think is perfect for wall paper.
Gerald said,
Love the reflection of the city in the bonnet!
jing said,
if you drive in shanghai, in the downtown, the situation is the same….
but i dont drive….
….
:)
Victoria said,
Traffic is bad here as well, but because there is zero public transportation everyone must have a car.
Denton said,
Very funny. Especially the part about driving the area several round … We had two cars for year. One for my wife and one for me. About six months ago we gave one of the cars up and I thought the impact would be intolerable. Today I hate the idea of going back to a two car family. I love my walk to work. — lot Zsolt rounds frowns — too cool.
Michael said,
I just saw Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, and now I feel even more guilty about taking a car. Maybe not enough parking spaces is a way to encourage people to walk or take public transportation. Good choice of photos!
slinger said,
great photo today and I LOVED the photo of the big shoe from a few days ago.
Nathalie said,
My relatives have the same problem in Paris, Zannie, and I go through this when I visit them. Don’t understand how they can cope! I am lucky that I live in a suburb where parking space is plentiful… lucky me!
Ham said,
Great post – get a bike!!
frederik said,
but hese are all neatly parked. You could never see this scene in Milan!!! All cars are parked where they want to.
Martin said,
Hello Zsolt,
I just bumbed into your blog. I live in Sweden but have Hungarian parents. Nice to see some pictures from Budapest. Keep it up.
/Martin
Olivier said,
c’est un bon theme, et à Paris c’est pareil et en plus la Marie a decidée de faire la guerre aux voitures
it is a good topic, and in Paris it is similar and in more the Marie decided to make the war with the cars
Keropok said,
parking is getting into a big problem in singapore too. zannnie can tell u. we take public transport.
photowannabe said,
I agree lack of parking space is really annoying. I know, some will say take public transportation but where I live I need my car.
ben said,
Growing population of Nelson, we may have soon same issue.
ben said,
Wrong key and caps lock, That annoying! Sorry about previous comment, is there any away to delete it?
Now, start over…
We have growing population in Nelson region, and soon those parking issue will be a problem. Our public transportation does not feasible to be increase… We have only few bus service.
Kim said,
We feel your pain! After living in San Francisco we learned a vehicle was not necessarily an asset. Would you believe we used to plan money into our yearly budget for parking tickets from street sweeping days when we would forget to move the car (no garages to be had). We’ve been a one vehicle couple ever since and ride our bikes and use the public transit whenever possible, especially if heading downtown. Great photo to illustrate the situation.
-Kim
Dsole said,
oh yes… that’s annoying… and it happens here too, long walks to get back to your car!
Sally said,
Oh, the space we devote to the car! We build little houses for them to live in, and huge ribbons of concrete for them to drive on, and tollways and computers and cop cars to police them….and on and on and on!
Helen said,
That does not happen so much here in Albuquerque. It used to happen all the time in New York. My parking space was about 6 blocks from the building I lived in! Part of the reason I headed for a smaller city!
Olivier said,
je trouve que c’est une bonne idee, de faire des patinoires dans des parcs où des cours en hiver. cela donne de bonnes photos a faire ;o)
I find that it is a good idea, to make skating rinks in parks where courses in winter. that gives good photographs has to make ;O)
Mimmu said,
I am happy for, who are skating! I know, how fun it is, when you can start it as a child
and you really can do it and enjoy it.
I agree with Olivier too :)
jing said,
:)
i like skating..though i am also afraid of falling down…BANG!!
oh, dear….my bott!!! ouch~~~~
nice photo.
have the nice weekend, double Zs!!
:P

photowannabe said,
Too many years have passed since I ice skated. I don’t fancy my self being a public spectacle. This looks like a super place to skate. Lots of people seem to be enjoying it.
photowannabe said,
Glad your breathing is better and now you can get some rest and the foods you crave.
phil said,
Hi
I really enjoy your site and photos.
We totally identify with the “finally it snowed” thing here in the US in most parts too. THere has been virtually no snow or rain (depending on where you live) hardly at all. Very strange. Global warming??

Bill said,
Now in Delta, parking is not an issue at all, and being without a car would mean buying a horse! A horse in the city, now that would be a problem :)
