It appears that I'm continuing in an off-beat fashion as this photo is taken from a pedestrian street (many of those in Budapest now) where I judged the view stunning and unexpectedly grand.

my wonderful furry friends
Many times I've walked through Budapest being struck by something I wanted to share. Here, I do just that. What follows are glimpses along life's path that had touched my heart. Enjoy! Budapest Daily Photos recently moved to its own home. The photos here may be enlarged by clicking on them unlike BudapestResources.com website, its previous home.

About Me
Apples and Women
Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them. In reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right person to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
The Invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.

You judged correctly. This is a grand shot. The basilica looks enormous from this angle. I like being one the the pedestrians and taking a look from here. Really wonderful to see.

Beautiful shot!
I would love to have a bite to eat at an outdoor cafe, what a great view.
Very cool photo and I like the idea of your blog. Just strolling around a beautiful city and sharing.
Cheers
A ripper of a shot. Beautifully framed and you show off the city spendidly!
Unfortunately I have never been to Budapest but I’ve seen on the photos and on the TV and I’ve heard from others that your city is great, lovely and beautiful.
This pedestrian street and a view of basilica are wonderful.
wow very nice photos you have thank you for sharing
Isadora, I had no idea that Budapest was so
beautiful. You do all of your subjects with
such romanticism and skill. I wish I was
there with my plein air equipment and enjoying
the views that you have introduced to all of us.
Keep it up, I love your blog.
Nice view! Love pedestrian street!
Great shot! Love the long perspective of the street framing the basilica!
Great photo. Really nice composition :)
Thank you all so much for your visit and wonderful comments. It is what really makes this all worth while - the sharing with someone and receiving feedback.
belle perspective et bel angle pour cette photo. la basilique est vraiment très belle.
beautiful perspective and good angle for this photo. the basilica is really very magnificient.
So very stunning. It's lovely how the walk just leads right to the basilica. It's as though the city itself is directing all pedestrians to that peaceful, grand place. Love the length of the street, too.
Thank you for your kind comment today on my Artists Portraits series. I responded to you farther down on the comments page.
Your photo today is a scene we rarely see in the United States: an old, charming pedestrian Street with a view towards a striking monument. That's one of the reasons why we keep coming Europe. I've never been to Budapest but everyone I know that has raves about it. Some day...
Great shot. Your city is very beautiful! I will share a little secret about my photo today. I was at a park and put my long lens on for fun. I could hardly see the boys from where I was. I just started shooting having no idea if I got anything. I thought it might be too blurry, but my friend at St. Louis, Mo. Daily Photo, my new photo coach, assured me it was ok. Glad you liked it too.
Hi, Isadora.
Great shot with wonderfull colours.
Big kiss
Hi. I found you in the comment list on my blog. I'm always amazed at how this web of bloggers works.
I love this photo. This is just the kind of street I would choose to walk when I'm traveling in Europe. And I would have to go into the church too.
This is spectacular!
