Szentendre (Saint Andrew) is a charming old town just north of Budapest, easily reached by commuter train. This picture shows one of the many churches of the town, surrounded by old houses.

Technical: Scanned by ScanCafe from slide. Some Curves, burning and healing brush work. I selected the sky and did a slight Gaussian blur on it.

Side note: I'm posting this partly out of frustration. I got a Hammacher-Schlemmer film and slide digital converter for Xmas (even though I'm Jewish ;-) ) and was trying to digitize some negatives. The results were, to put it mildly, lousy. I cannot get rid of some dust inside the scanner (it doesn't come apart for cleaning), there is color shift, HUGE noise, and light leakage. No way am I going to subject those images to the ridicule of the forum, so don't even ask.
