Photographer’s Note

Summer, colours, walks

Short time, and my homeland will be a Mediterranean country. Do you see that the people are walking in the shade only? The heat was not this big before with twenty years...

Gyõr, Hungary’s second richest town in historic buildings outside Budapest has won Europe-award for the protection of the historic buildings, in acknowledgment of the reconstruction of the Baroque centre of the town. Churches, palaces, museums, characteristic corner-balconies and narrow lanes, all reminders of a historic past, invite visitors to take a walk in the centre of the town.

Győr

Győr is the most important city of northwest Hungary, the capital of Győr-Moson-Sopron county, and lies on one of the important roads of Central Europe, halfway between Budapest and Vienna. The city is the sixth largest in Hungary, and one of the seven main regional centres of the country.

Győr is particularly rich in ecclesiastical heritage. The episcopal cathedral holds one of the most valuable examples of goldsmith's work, the St Ladislaus herm that was made in the 15th century for the relics of King Ladislaus I. The sarcophagus of beatified martyr bishop Vilmos Apor (1892-1945) is also found in the cathedral. The treasury of the basilica keeps numerous values and its fine art collections are particularly valuable.
There are permanent exhibitions of the work of one of the most significant ceramists of the 20th century, Győr-born Margit Kovács (1902-1977), and of outstanding Hungarian sculptor of the 20th century, Miklós Borsos (1906-1990) who studied in the Benedictine grammar school. Natural scientist, traveller and ethnographer János Xantus (1825-1894) after whom the city museum and zoo were named also attended school here.
The thermal baths and aquapark provide the residents and visitors alike with an opportunity for rejuvenation and there are numerous possibilities for outings and walks. (Source: Vendégváró)

Hi George,
Very cosy looking old town square. It is of course at it's best on a sunny summer day. I guess it's quite hot on this one as people clearly prefer shadow.

George,
This is a nice colorful image. The lines in the square leads the eye into the shot. The lighting and colors are fine and the shot has nice sharpness. The blue sky provides contrast for the colorful buildings.
TFS,
Asa

La qualité technique de ta photo rend cette image très plaisante à admirer alors que le lieu en lui même pourrait ne pas spécialement attirer l'attention....tout l'art du bon photographe!
Amicalement

Hmmmm....I admire the city:)
I used to work as a guide and taking people from Vienna we slept in Gyor (so we were there at about 10 pm) and then early in the morning we drove further to Budapest:) That's why I admire your daily photos.
