looking up
I was recently told: when walking around in Budapest, instead of looking down, be sure to look up for all of the beauty that can be found above you. I am paraphrasing, but that was the general gist. The architecture, statuary, and ornamentation here is amazing and thankfully survived a lot of the wars and bombing that befell other European cities.

The Opera
the building in which my and Mark's hostel was situated- these courtyards are very typical in Hungarian buildings
ornamentation on an old building now used as artist studios
I like the use of color on these shops in Buda
the entrance to the building that houses David's studio (part of it was on loan to Michael and me while here)
the falling ivy in the courtyard of the studio building
