Some of the city geometry (Városi geometria) seen while wandering in Budapest: renovation square at Buda castle
Up on the stairs to Fisherman’s Bastions. 
Backyards in the city center.
Entrance to the Jewish ghetto. 
Yellow and green walls in the old city center.

Budapest is the city of big surfaces that I like to picture (Felületek, amiket szeretek). Like this palace under reconstruction close to Buda castle, covered with a printed sheet.
A modern rusty bridge allows to walk on Buda defense walls. 
House shades on house walls close to the Jewish ghetto.
A healthy breakfast gives you energy all day long.
A classic palace reflected into this modern mall in the city center of Budapest
Just packed. A tight dust sheet on a palace under renovation: Christo’s emulation?

Life and death (Élet és halál) in Budapest. Up from the hill of Buda castle, across the Danube and down to Pest side, Budapest is a very lively city. 
Aside Buda Castle, the peculiar Halászbástya (Fisherman’s bastion) offers wide views on the city. The location name comes from the tradition of the guild of fishermen, which defended the city walls. Its seven towers represent the seven Magyar tribes that founded modern Hungary.
Life is filmed at Heroes’ Square, where statues feature the Seven chieftains of the Magyars tribes. The monumental square celebrates the thousandth anniversary of the foundation of the Hungarian state in 896.
Not only life is celebrated in Budapest. On the Pest side, close to the parliament, dozens of bronze shoes are placed at the shores of Danube. This is a memorial to the mass murders operated by members of the Hungarian national socialist party Arrow Cross between 1944-1945. Victims were brought here, shot and bodies left falling into the Danube.
German Boats with loud commercial music are not infrequent on the Danube. These cruises easily last day and night.
Just stroll the streets of Budapest and discover its past and present history of life and death

Some cliché postcards from Greece. Common places are there, at least for tourists and they smell all good. Here is the small, white and blue, orthodox chapel at the shores of Aliko beach. You can pull the bell rope, too.
Kouroi: there are at least three of these giant, Ancient Greek statues in Naxos. Local marble was sculpted almost to the final product, which could be as long as 10 meters. But then something went wrong: the statue broke during delivery, the commissioner didn’t pay or whatever. They are still there for our astonishment.
Octopus drying in the sun, waiting for vinegar. Octopus is such a beautiful animal, but it is so delicious, too. Hard to say no to it.
Greece is pride, stourdinees, resilience, energy, beauty, history. Greece can fall but it will stand up again on its legs,even without special efforts. At least this is what I thought while watching this murale. 
Syntagma square, site to the House of Parliament of Greece, where democracy started (will start?) again?
