Revisited in the Summer Time

Some of you may remember this group of statues that sit in the middle of Vorosmarty Ter, the center of much attraction in Budapest. During the winter it is covered over with a plastic tent that is filled with warm air to keep moisture and damage away from the grouping. They look lovely now in the middle of much greenery.

Sunflowers on Sunday

Here you frequently see large lots planted with sunflowers while driving along in the countryside. Most of it is produced for oil and some for feed, but the vision of seas of yellow always delight my eyes.

Not long ago I've come across a blog drawing a parallel between the sunflowers and the followers of Christ - how they both seek the source of light. Thought I would also use this visual reminder that today is Sunday.

Street Advertisement

Just steps from the Gerbaud on Vorosmarty Ter is this pavement art that turns out to be advertising, but still a colorful and interesting vision in the summer heat.

The Danube Promenade

A block away from the buildings from yesterday, heading toward the Danube, there are some more restaurants lining the street. Looks pretty inviting and the view of Buda is great.
This park is to the left of the al fresco dining with the remodeled Marriott Hotel behind it.
